This serene dwelling is tucked away in a green haven less than ten minutes from Saint Rémy de Provence (6 km), about fifteen minutes north of Les Baux de Provence in the heart of the spectacular Alpilles Natural Park. The nearest convenience stores, as well as bakeries, pharmacies and restaurants are a couple of kilometres distance.

The Alpilles (‘small Alps’) offer a limestone mountain range of both wetlands and rocky terrain, shaped by over four thousand years of civilisation. At the heart of the Alpilles range, visitors will be able to explore traditional, pretty villages such as Eygalières and Paradou, many of which have earned the status of “plus beaux villages.” History buffs will enjoy archaeological sites such as the Caisses de Jean-Jean Oppidum, the Roman site of Barbegal and the Fontvieille Hypogea.

The Alpilles' majestic scenery provide endless walking potential among olive groves, vineyards, orchards and pine-scented woods. Walkers will chance across small chapels and oratories as well as generations-old farmhouses. Wildlife-lovers will be particularly spoilt in the Alpilles with its rare bird life, whilst those keen on hiking, riding or cycling will have an array of trails to wind their way leisurely through this delightful part of Provence.

Saint Rémy is a bustling, lively place with narrow, winding streets as well as colourful café-lined squares. Known for its arts heritage, most notably former home of Van Gogh, today this region retains a thriving arts community. Local artists display work in the galleries of Saint Rémy, and along the Route des Artistes on selected Sundays.

Arles, much beloved by Van Gogh, boasts UNESCO listed Roman monuments, as well as museums, Roman theatres, and winding medieval streets. The photography event takes place every summer drawing an International crowd.

Avignon is about half an hour away (24 km), known for its famous Pont, which has an intriguing history dating back to the Middle Ages, whilst Les Baux de Provence is dramatically perched atop the limestone Alpilles Mountains and boasts a fortified tenth century castle as well as quintessential Provençal charm.

Whether it be sumptuous Provençal dining, luscious and unspoilt nature, designer boutiques and a touch of Mediterranean glamour, Provence is a place which draws visitors back, time and time again.
