About the History

Traditional Provençal

The history of the domaine is closely tied to its horses: several of the surrounding meadows were formerly paddocks, and the stables still house two retired rescue horses, Llamp and Ming. The estate has been beautifully restored in a traditional Provençal style and decorated with original antiques.
