Location
About the surrounding area of Maison En PierreMaison En Pierre enjoys the most incredible setting within the Provençal countryside, close to the rugged peaks of the Regional Park of the Alpilles. With an expansive garden offering plenty of outdoor living spaces and private swimming pools, this home really lends itself to outdoor living and to spending afternoons wandering the streets of the charming French villages nearby.
The closest village to the house is Mollégès which is only 2km away, meaning you will not have to travel far to the nearest shop or café. The village is small, but boasts a selection of bakeries, restaurants and a small supermarket, so it is really handy to have so close to home. On top of these amenities in the immediate vicinity of the house, you can also access a wide range of natural sites and outdoor attractions. Whether you are wine lover who would enjoy a tour and wine tasting at a local vineyard or prefer adrenaline-fuelled fun such as mountain biking, climbing and kayaking, all are possible near to Maison En Pierre.
In addition to Mollégès, Maison En Pierre is surrounded by little villages and thriving towns which are dotted around the hillsides. One lovely town you can visit is Eyragues which is 13km away. This is a typical Provençal town which is off the usual tourist trails and has a picturesque centre. In the town, you will find shops, cafes and restaurants which line the pretty streets and central square. You can also visit a number of attractions here such as the Saint Bonnet Chapel along with its tombs and gardens. Scattered around the town there are also mills, a large water wheel and the remains of the medieval towers and walls of the town. In the summer months, a wealth of saints’ days, festivals and equestrian events are held here.
Provence is also home to an array of larger towns packed with museums, galleries and shopping streets. One of these is Saint Rémy de Provence which is 9km away from Maison En Pierre. Saint Rémy is a magnet for art-lovers who flock here to visit the museums, galleries and former home of Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh who spent a year of his life here during the 19th century. Van Gogh boarded in a tiny, cell-like room in the magical Saint-Paul-de-Mausole which is a monastery built in the 1200s, it was here that the painter produced over 100 art works based on the sun-drenched squares and picturesque streets of the town. If you are interested in seeing some of the locations in the paintings, you could book on to a guided tour.
For an even wider range of shops, eateries and cultural attractions, you could take day trips to cities such as Avignon or Arles which are each under 35km away. Avignon is known for its links with the Papacy and here you can visit the Papal palace, while in Arles, you can see some incredible Roman monuments and ruins.

Region
The Provençal way of life is one that’s deeply tempting for anyone who’s been feeling the need to get away from it all. This is a place where the Mediterranean weather turns fields of corn and lavender into picture-perfect backdrops, where you can sip your locally bought wine and enjoy the landscapes before heading out and tackling them head-on with a range of great activities for families, groups of friends and adventurous foodies. Better yet, our range of villas in Provence and chateaux and holiday homes in the Côte d’Azur make the perfect base to explore this enchanting region!
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesWith wide open countryside as far as the eye can see and a lovely climate, families love holidaying in Provence! Maison En Pierre is the perfect base for your trip as there is space for a larger group, two swimming pools and a vast garden where the children can play in safety while you lounge in the sun. Close to the home you can find picnic spots, horse riding centres and kayaking down stunning rivers, so the kids will never be bored.
If you plan to visit one of the region’s larger towns or cities it is always a good idea to have a few things up your sleeve to keep the little ones occupied. For example, if you wish to spend a day visiting Arles which is 33km away, why not take the children to see the incredible Roman Amphitheatre. Your whole group will be in awe of this staggering building and the kids can also join in with toga making workshops and learn how to fight like a Roman gladiator.
