What their guests say:
“Chantal and Jean-François were the most perfect hosts and made our stay memorable! Their most beautiful property is perfectly Provence. We highly recommend their wonderful property.” ~ Bob and Noelle, Nova Scotia, Canada

“Excellent value. The facilities and rooms are of high quality and the surroundings pretty, quiet and relaxing. Our hosts had excellent knowledge of local food, products, tourist attractions and cultural events, and were pleased to share this information during breakfast. They have a selection of local wines and products to offer guests as well. The location is ideal for accessing the many attractions around Avignon, but you will need a car to conveniently access them. We really enjoyed our stay Chantal & Jean­François, thank you!”
