Location:

In the heart of Les Alpilles Regional Natural Park, Maison Taureau is close to the picturesque villages of Maussane-les-Alpilles and Les Baux-de-Provence. Fly into airports near Avignon, Nimes or Marseille, or arrive via train into Avignon TGV (29km) – fast train services from Paris Gare de Lyon take just 2 hours 45 minutes.Maison Taureau enjoys a rural location yet is not isolated as there is another house next door and you are only 2.5km by car from Maussane-les-Alpilles (the D5 that connects Maussane-les-Alpilles to Saint-Rémy-de-Provence is only 500m away). This part of Provence is known for its olive oil production which you can try in Maussane-les-Alpilles, a charming village with a range of restaurants, delightful shops and a Thursday morning market. The little village of Paradou (5km) is another gem of this area, renowned for its little bistro so loved by Rick Stein.There are some beautiful walks around Les Baux-de-Provence (5km), a hilltop village officially classified as one of France’s ‘Plus Beaux Villages’, home to a pretty medieval centre and a historic château. Head there early before the summer day-trippers arrive! The region also offers horse-riding, rock-climbing, cycling and wonderful hikes (some forest routes may close in the height of the summer). The artistic town Saint-Rémy-de-Provence (9km) hosts a bustling market on a Wednesday morning and is loved for its art galleries and Van Gogh associations. Arles (21km) is another must-see for art and history enthusiasts – it is where Van Gogh painted ‘Café Terrace at Night’ and you can visit the town’s incredible Roman amphitheatre. Arles is the gateway to the captivating landscapes of the Camargue which lead to the Mediterranean beaches around the seaside town of Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer (60km). Another glorious part of Provence to explore is the Luberon with its iconic perched villages, vineyards, orchards and magnificent natural scenery.
