This 18th century home once belonged to a famous French writer and for good reason. With its original regal charm and sprawling grounds, the Bastide will provide an idyllic and secluded experience in Provence for a large family reunion or celebration. Relax by the sublime pool and wander through the luscious gardens. Explore the nearby wineries or visit the local town of L’Isle sur la Sorgue for a coffee along the canal. Go out for country drives in the villa’s Vintage Citroen 2CV. Return home to be taken aghast all over again and wind down with a traditional meal. Kids and adults alike will feel like they’re living in a fairytale.
