Hidden Provence
Self-drive

page pix A few hours away from the Roman ruins of Arles and the sun-dappled streets of Aix-en-Provence lies another Provence – hillier, greener, and still happily off the beaten path. Here the real Provence continues, with the same hilltop villages, sun-drenched stones, herb-scented breezes – but with fewer crowds.

If you enjoy outdoor activities, you’re on the edge of one of the best sites in France – the Grand Canyon of the Verdon. If your tastes run more to the gastronomic pleasures of Provence, there are local flavors to delight you in abundance.

Our hidden gem of a hotel is the Bastide du Calalou, a cozy and comfortable oasis of calm set in beautiful gardens. The Vandevyver family take their duties as hosts seriously and delight in assisting guests to make the most of their stay.
