Overview
This village home in Provence sleeps up to 8 guests across four en suite bedrooms and features an attractive terrace with swimming pool. It is located in Fontvieille, only 10km from Van Gogh’s beloved Arles.
Indeed, Maison Juplier is a fantastic base for exploring Les Alpilles, the Camargue and beyond. The farmhouse has been renovated to create an inviting holiday abode with traditional features alongside contemporary amenities such as air-conditioning and a stylish well-equipped kitchen.
A queen-size double bedroom is on the ground floor whilst two further doubles and a twin, all with en suite showers, can be found upstairs (across two wings via the home’s unique stairs). The interior design of this semi-detached maison is simple yet chic with touches of French charm and character.
It feels like such a privilege to have your very own swimming pool outside for warm summer days as well as a terrace for al-fresco dining by the barbecue and space for a game of pétanque. There’s also private parking although you won’t need your car to reach local restaurants and shops – the heart of Fontvieille is just at the end of the lane.
Fontvieille is a traditional village in Les Alpilles with restaurant terraces beneath the plane trees, a useful range of shops and a supermarket as well as an old cinema and bullring. It is home to the iconic Moulin de Daudet and a pretty walk between the windmills, Le Sentier des Moulins, where you can appreciate the beautiful scenery that inspired the French author, Alphonse Daudet.
The historic town of Arles is only 10km away, loved for its Roman colosseum, amphitheatre, art exhibitions and Van Gogh heritage. Other gems within easy reach include Les Baux-de-Provence and Maussane-les-Alpilles whilst artistic Saint-Rémy-de-Provence is only 20 minutes by car, famed for its Wednesday morning market.
The captivating Camargue is another wonderful day out, a paradise for horse-riding enthusiasts and wild nature lovers. Alternatively, simply hire bikes and explore the nearby landscapes of Les Alpilles passing olive groves, distant windmills and woodland, stopping off at farms, little villages and gastronomic restaurants in this lovely corner of Provence.

Location
About the surrounding area of Maison JuplierMaison Juplier is in the authentic Provençal village of Fontvieille, just 10km north-east of Arles and around 45 minutes by car from Avignon and Nimes.
It’s great to be able to stroll down the little lane and be in the heart of bustling Fontvieille within a couple of minutes. The village is home to a supermarket, shops, cafes, restaurants, a traditional cinema and even a bull-ring. Hire bikes to explore the local area and come across glorious walks including Le Sentier des Moulins which passes the landscapes that so inspired the French author, Alphonse Daudet.
Car hire is necessary to fully appreciate the surrounding region. Arles (10km) is a short drive away and a fantastic day out, passing the majestic Abbaye de Montmajour (4.5km) en route. Arles itself is home to the Roman colosseum and amphitheatre as well as art galleries, photography exhibitions and Place du Forum where Van Gogh painted ‘Café Terrace at Night’. Gastronomes can take advantage of the many excellent restaurants in the town and look out for the delightful Saturday morning open-air market.
Heading towards the heart of Les Alpilles, stop off for lunch in Maussane-les-Alpilles (8km) or continue towards hilltop Les Baux-de-Provence (9km), one of France’s ‘Plus Beaux Villages’. The scenery of the Baux valley is beautiful with endless olive groves and woodland, ideal for long walks, horse-riding and hiking.
Visit the vibrant Wednesday morning market in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence (17.5km), an artistic town known for its galleries and Van Gogh heritage, and explore the very charming village of Eygalières (26km) with its high-end restaurants. There are plenty of opportunities to try regional produce across local farms such as cheese, honey, olive oil and wine-tasting of course.
Other fantastic days out include the Camargue with its incredible natural landscapes, a paradise for bird-watchers, nature lovers and outdoor adventurists. Then there’s the wonderfully preserved Roman sites of Nîmes (38km), the magnificent Pont du Gard (33km) and the UNESCO World Heritage sites of Avignon (32km).
When travelling to Maison Juplier, fly into Nîmes, Avignon or Marseille Airports or arrive by train with Gare d’Avignon TGV around half an hour by car (TGV services from Paris to Avignon take around 2 hours 45 minutes). The nearest train station is Arles (9km) with connections towards Marseille, Avignon Centre and beyond.

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: TeensMaison Juplier will suit families with older children who can appreciate being close to an authentic Provençal village.
Fontvieille is home to a handful of shops and restaurants (and a useful supermarket within 250m) as well as an old-fashioned cinema. There are some lovely walks around the village including a trail between the windmills starting at the iconic Moulin De Daudet. Arrange bike hire to explore the surrounding area.
Another village highlight is the unique Vélorail des Alpilles (check opening dates which can vary). Here you pedal power your open vehicle along former railway tracks passing lovely Provençal landscapes.
Arles is a great family day out with its Roman amphitheatre, art galleries, exhibitions and Van Gogh heritage. It is also the gateway to the Camargue where activities include bird-watching, nature tours, horse-riding, quad biking and more. You can even reach the Mediterranean coast within an hour – the bustling seaside resort of Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer is only 45km away.
