Our cottages, the perfect starting point to explore the magnificent villages of Saint-Rémy de Provence, Les Baux de Provence, Fontvieille, Avignon.
Looking for an escape to the most beautiful villages of Provence? The Alpilles are the perfect destination. Located in the northwest of the Bouches-du-Rhône department in Provence, “Les Alpilles” are made up of a chain of limestone hills with the highest point reaching 498 meters in height.
Visiting the Alpilles is a unique opportunity to discover the richness of Provence. The Alpilles chain is full of beautiful and interesting places! Each village has its charm, its history, and its assets. Discover breathtaking landscapes that have inspired the greatest artists. Take to the heights in the massifs, climb the hills, experience local festivals, and indulge in sunny Provencal cuisine.
Perched like an eagle’s nest, the village of Les Baux-de-Provence is classified among the “most beautiful villages of France”. Its sun-drenched streets, squares, and shaded terraces make it a postcard of Provence.
At the gates of Les Baux, the underground halls of the Carrières de Lumières serve as a giant screen for a multimedia show. The village is surrounded by wild nature, between the chaotic and mineral universe of the Val d’Enfer, the scrubland, the vineyards, and the olive groves of the Alpilles Regional Natural Park. A land of plenty with a generous terroir.
If you’re looking to visit the Alpilles, be sure to stop by the charming village of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence.
In this magical place where the sun shines more than 300 days a year, with a light and beauty that seduced Vincent van Gogh and so many other artists, it’s a whole Provencal way of life that you find in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. A major hub of culture and history, Saint-Rémy-de-Provence embodies all the charm of Provencal living, attracting celebrities and anonymous visitors alike who come to recharge their batteries…

Just 10 minutes from the cottages, immortalized by Alphonse Daudet in his “Lettres de mon moulin” (Letters from My Windmill), Fontvieille is a haven of peace amidst olive groves, vineyards, and wooded hills.
Upon arriving in Fontvieille, you’ll discover a picturesque village with its old houses built with stone from the famous quarries that were established on site since the 15th century. It’s this same stone that was chosen to build the arenas of Arles and Nîmes as well as the castle of Tarascon from 1429 to 1434, and more recently the Palais Longchamps and the Bourse in Marseille.

Just 45 minutes from the cottages, at the foot of the Rocher des Doms, bathed by the Rhône and protected from the mistral by its old ramparts, Avignon is a must-visit on any trip to Provence. The former city of the Popes (seven popes succeeded each other there between 1309 and 1376, plus two antipopes thereafter) has preserved a beautiful bouquet of very fine monuments, but also succeeded in its present conversion into a vast open-air theater during its famous Theater Festival in July…
