GARDEN FLAT: SIMPLE BUT CHIC
GARDEN FLAT: SIMPLE BUT CHIC
If you’re drawn to places with soul—a touch of the old, a splash of the new—then you’ll be drawn to Chez David!
The Garden Flat, in common with the entire house, was renovated in its entirety in 2024 to a very high standard. It sleeps two in a double bed.
The appartement is a small, private and intimate space surrounded by greenery in the heart of Vaugines, a typical Provencal village that sits atop a small hill just up the road from Lourmarin—and not far from Aix and Avignon.
Our gite is likely to appeal to visitors looking for homely charm and comfort, and who enjoy the outdoor life, especially walking and cycling.
And, if the sun isn’t shining (which is rare here even in winter), there are three superb cultural centres to visit: Aix, Avignon and Arles!
CHEZ DAVID: PRIVATE GARDEN, TERRACE AND PATIO
CHEZ DAVID: PRIVATE GARDEN, TERRACE AND PATIO
Everything at Chez David is a little atypical: from the vaulted bedroom with en-suite shower (no bath!) and window seat overlooking the garden path, to the lounge and small kitchen that open directly onto the terrace and covered patio.
Park on the road just outside the garden gate, climb a few steps through a partly-walled (rather wild) garden (dotted with two fig trees, an olive tree and lots of greenery even in winter), and pass the picnic table tucked away among the foliage.
As you step inside the apartment (yes, a few more steps), in front of you you'll see the bedroom, with vaulted ceiling, windows overlooking the garden (including a window seat), double bed and en-suite shower.
Through the passageway is the lounge with its all-new built-in kitchen (2 induction hobs, microwave oven, fridge, cooking utensils), loo (with washing machine) and lounge with its two sofas, bookcases—and two outdoor spaces...
The covered patio faces south, while the secluded terrace (with iron table, wooden sofa and chairs, etc.) faces east—meaning that when the sun shines this autumn or winter, you’re in luck! Enjoy your morning coffee outside!
The décor blends contemporary and Provencal styles, with large windows that flood the space with light.
We don't pretend that our gite is luxurious; rather it's charming, cosy and homely—a home, in fact, and not a five-star hotel!

ON THE OUTSIDE YOU'LL FIND
ON THE OUTSIDE YOU'LL FIND
• Covered patio facing south (with large wooden table and bench)—protected with lots of greenery.
• Secluded terrace facing east (table for four, garden furniture including sofa)—perfect for morning coffee in the winter sunshine, with views of the garden and Cézanne’s Sainte Victoire in the distance.
• Garden—wild and without reason but great in autumn, winter and spring, with a few hidden spots to eat and drink—including a large bench with sun umbrella.

The appartement and garden is part of a larger house (also available to let), but it is fully independent—all the spaces—and access—are exclusive to guests.
A HOME, NOT A HOTEL
A HOME, NOT A HOTEL
We love our Garden Flat—it’s part of our home.
We hope you’ll love it too and treat it with all the care it deserves. We’ll be using the same accommodation once your holiday is at an end!
As ours is an old Provencal house, it is not suitable—in spite of our best efforts—for anyone who struggles with walking, for young children or people with disabilities.
The entrance to the Garden Flat is just behind the cherry tree.

Unfortunately, as ours is an old Provencal house, the gite is not suitable for anyone who struggles with walking - there are quite a few steps - or for young children.
The lounge, with two brand-new sofas, has one set of French windows (as seen here) that give on to the terrace, and another that lead on to the covered patio.

Vaugines: Our Village
Vaugines: Our Village
The village of Vaugines is a peaceful hamlet that is popular with walkers and horse-riders. It boasts a shop-cum-bakery, a bar (serving pizzas and the like) and restaurant.
Vaugines is situated on the crest of a hill between the villages of Cucuron and its better-known neighbour Lourmarin, the final resting place of Albert Camus. Vaugines' claim to fame is that parts of Jean de Florette and Manon des Sources were filmed here.
Our gite is likely to appeal to visitors looking for homely charm and comfort, and who enjoy the outdoor life, especially walking and cycling.
The gite is also a place to recharge your batteries if you or hungry for peace and quiet... but still want to be close to the cultural sites of, for example, Aix or Avignon.
