OUR GARDEN FLAT: PEFECT FOR A WINTER GETAWAY!
Our newly-renovated Garden Flat for two is south facing, with large windows overlooking the private terrace, patio and garden—so, if the sun is shining this winter, it's the place to be!
With its vaulted bedroom and book-lined lounge, this atypical space is full of character and charm. It’s 100% unique—a home, not a hotel!
The flat is private, intimate and cosy—surrounded by greenery—yet situated in the heart of a delightful Provencal village with a shop, café and restaurant... and just two minutes from Lourmarin and Cucuron.

Private Terraces, Dining Room, Lounge, Large kitchen
The light-filled Upstairs Flat, which sleeps two in a large double bed, boasts a large terrace and balcony looking south towards Cézanne's celebrated Mont Sainte Victoire.

With its vaulted bedroom, patio and terrace—not to mention the wild-ish garden—the cosy Garden Flat sleeps two in a large double bed.

What do you get if you put the Upstairs Flat and Garden Flat together? A superb two bedroom house where you can share everything—but also enjoy your own private space!
House / Garden Flat
A private, wild-ish garden on two levels with three or four separate outdoor spaces to enjoy a drink or eat surrounded by fig trees, a cherry tree, a vine and much more besides!
IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR HOMELY COMFORT AND CHARM...
IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR HOMELY COMFORT AND CHARM...
The entire gite—the Garden Flat, the Upstairs Flat and the House—enjoys an elevated, south-facing position with wonderful views of Cézanne's celebrated Mont Sainte Victoire.
With large windows in every room, the three accommodation options (Garden Flat, Upstairs Flat and entire House) are filled with light, each boasting plenty of outdoor spaces—a garden, covered patio or terraces—to make the most of the Provencal sunshine all year round.
This rental is likely to appeal to you if you are looking for homely charm and comfort, with a decorative style that is a blend of typical Provencal and a more pared-back touch.
The accommodation is surrounded by some of France's most beautiful countryside and villages, meaning you'll also enjoy Chez David if you like the outdoor life, especially walking and cycling (in fact, if you like cycling, follow us on Strava!).
In short, Chez David is a place to recharge your batteries!
But we're also a short car ride from two of France's most fabulous cultural gems—Aix and Avignon—and day trips to the coast at Cassis or Marseilles are also easy.
The gite is an old house typical of the region with lots of steps, which means that—in spite of our best efforts—it is not suitable for people with limited mobility or very young children.
OUR VILLAGE: VAUGINES
OUR VILLAGE: VAUGINES
Our gite in the heart of the Luberon is situated in the centre of Vaugines, a peaceful hamlet with a single shop, plus a cafe cum bar and restaurant on the delightful village square.
Vaugines sits atop a hill between the villages of Cucuron and Lourmarin, the final resting place of Albert Camus. One of Vaugines' claim to fame is that parts of Jean de Florette and Manon des Sources were filmed here.
But we're also ideally situated between two of France's most historic, culture-packed towns: Aix and Avignon.
In summer and spring you you can enjoy long, hot days of unbroken sunshine and blue skies... not to mention leisurely evenings eating outside on one of the gite's terraces, in our garden—or on the terrace of the village cafe.
And, of course, the beautiful villages of Cucuron and Lourmarin are just a heartbeat away.
Cycling and walking are two of the favourite pastimes here, together with swimming in the nearby lake at Sannes and horse-riding in and around the village.
Fields of poppies flourish around in May and early June, but it is lavender that is most associated with this part of Provence.
Or maybe sunflowers are more your thing?
And, of course, the region's cultural and historical sites are never far away—Aix or Avignon to name but two.
