An authentic stay
IN PROVENCE
Nestled in the heart of Provence, the Alpilles mountain range is a true natural gem. With its limestone peaks, endless olive groves, perched villages, and fragrant garrigue, this region offers an idyllic setting for those seeking peace, sunshine, and a break from the everyday. It is in this enchanting environment that we invite you to stay, in close proximity to exceptional sites.
A unique landscape, between sky and rock
The Alpilles are first and foremost modest yet majestic mountains. Their white, lace-like peaks overlook fertile, sunlit plains. The contrast between the pale rock and the deep green of the pine forests creates a remarkable visual harmony. At every hour of the day, the light sculpts living tableaux, playing with shadow and sun, warmth and coolness.
This mineral landscape is also a haven for precious biodiversity. Bonelli’s eagles, lesser kestrels, cicadas in summer, and endemic flora flourish here in a fragile balance, protected by the Alpilles Regional Natural Park.
Walking in the Alpilles is to feel the power of the elements: the mistral wind that clears the sky, the warmth of the earth, the scent of thyme and rosemary crushed underfoot. Whether you are a hiking enthusiast, a photographer in search of light, or simply a wanderer, these hills will captivate you.
Authentic and vibrant villages
Around the Alpilles mountain range, the villages are a treasure trove of discoveries. Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, the capital of the natural park, is a popular destination renowned for its Provençal charm. Cobblestone streets, ancient fountains, art galleries, and small cafés under the plane trees: everything invites you to enjoy the good life. It was here that Vincent van Gogh painted some of his most beautiful works, inspired by the surrounding landscapes.
Les Baux-de-Provence, listed among the most beautiful villages in France, overlooks the valley from its rocky spur. Its medieval alleyways, ruined castle, and breathtaking views of the plain make this a must-see.
Maussane-les-Alpilles, Eygalières, Fontvieille, and Mouriès are just some of the villages where time seems to stand still. Between farmers’ markets, traditional festivals, and friendly gatherings, you’ll discover a warm and genuine Provence.
A land of flavors and traditions
The Alpilles are also a land of culinary delights. Here, olive oil reigns supreme. Olive trees shape the landscape, and the mills perpetuate ancestral know-how. The “Vallée des Baux-de-Provence” PDO guarantees an oil with powerful aromas, found on all the finest tables.
Local markets overflow with fresh produce: goat cheeses, sun-ripened fruits, honeys, artisanal jams, and also wines from the surrounding hillsides. The “Les Baux-de-Provence” appellation offers characterful reds and rosés, to be enjoyed in moderation.
The terroir is also expressed in the gastronomy: tapenades, gardianne de taureau (a traditional Provençal beef stew), Alpilles lamb, fougasse (a type of flatbread)… Every meal is a moment of simple and authentic pleasure.
An ideal destination to recharge your batteries
A stay in the Alpilles is a chance to take a break in a peaceful, natural setting. Whether you’re a couple, a family, or a group of friends, you’ll find a rare quality of life here. There are plenty of activities to enjoy: cycling, cultural visits, swimming in nearby rivers, and discovering local crafts and heritage.
The region is also ideally located for exploring other highlights of Provence: Arles and its Roman arena, Avignon and its Palace of the Popes, the Luberon and its hilltop villages, the wild Camargue… Everything is less than an hour’s drive away.
