Maillane, Provencal authenticity

Discreet and deeply endearing, Maillane is a small typical village where time seems to be suspended. Here, no crowds or agitation, but a peaceful atmosphere, punctuated by the song of cicadas and local markets. Famous for being the birthplace of the poet Frédéric Mistral, Maillane offers an immersion in a sincere Provence, far from clichés. Stroll through its alleys, stop in a shady square or enjoy a coffee on the terrace: everything invites you to slow down and enjoy.

The Alpilles, a postcard decor

A massif on a human scale, the Alpilles offer spectacular landscapes: limestone hills, olive groves, vineyards and pine forests make up a typically Mediterranean setting. Perfect for nature lovers, they can be discovered on foot, by bike or even by car, along panoramic roads. Each detour reveals a new view, a different light, a scent of garrigue. Les Alpilles is also a land of gastronomy and know-how: olive oil, wines, local products... a permanent invitation to discovery.

Les Baux-de-Provence, a perched jewel

Ranked among the most beautiful villages in France, Les Baux-de-Provence impresses at first glance. Clinging to its rocky spur, this mediaeval village dominates the landscapes of the Alpilles.

Avignon, culture and elegance

Just a few kilometres away, Avignon brings an essential cultural dimension. Former city of the Popes, the city seduces with its exceptional heritage: the Palace of the Popes, the Pont d'Avignon, its perfectly preserved ramparts... But Avignon is also a lively and dynamic city, especially during its famous theatre festival in summer. Its lively alleys, restaurants and markets make it a destination as pleasant as it is captivating.

An ideal destination for holidays in Provence

Staying between Maillane, the Alpilles, Les Baux-de-Provence and Avignon is to enjoy a perfect balance between calm, discoveries and art of living. Whether you are looking for a charming house surrounded by olive trees, a cultural getaway or breathtaking landscapes, this region offers a complete and deeply exotic experience.
