You couldn’t be more central for walking the entire city or for day trips to explore the many places in the surrounding district. Experience your own slice of an amazingly beautiful and historic town, while you savour the delicious delicacies and stunning wines which are part of the local cuisine. 

There is so much to discover, enjoy and savour in this magnificent country and particularly in the Provence region with its contrasts from beach resorts and picturesque coastlines, to hilltop villages, mountains and ski resorts and a unique combination of romance, glamur and a Mediterranean climate.

We adore the French style and elegance and our apartment reflects this in its décor and furnishings for both our comfort and enjoyment and for yours.
