About The Experience

Retreat to this beautiful home-away-from-home in the tiny village of Le Paradou, a peaceful location that is close to tourist sites and restaurants. The villa is great for an extended family or a group of couples who want an authentic Provencal village experience.

Location Description

The villa is situated in Le Paradou, where there are small shops and great restaurants. Le Paradou is 1 km from Maussane-Les-Alpilles, the chic village of the Alpilles, which has a grocery shop, restaurants and bakeries. Guests can walk to both villages on a path shared with cars. Scenic Saint-Remy-de-Provence and its famous Wednesday market is 6 km away. Throughout its history Saint Remy has been a haven for artists, musicians, and writers (including Van Gogh and Nostradamus), and today it is alive with artists and traditions, faithfully passed on from one generation to the next.
