The summer kitchen boasts its own dining area in the shade or sit on the stylish terrace for an early aperitif... A wonderful location for a relaxing holiday and if you manage to tear yourself away from the villa, there is also plenty to do nearby with St Remy de Provence just 7 km away.

The Provence Alpes Cote d'Azur / Bouches-du-Rhone region

Bouches-du-Rhône is one of the original 83 departments created during the French Revolution on March 4, 1790. It was created from part of the former province of Provence. It lost part of its territory in 1793, when the Vaucluse department was created.
Its capital city Marseille is rich in many cultures with a strong mediterranean influence. The history of the area is closely linked to that of Provence. Marseille has been an important harbor since before Julius Caesar's conquest of Gaul. It is surrounded by the departments of Gard to the west, Vaucluse to the north, and Var to the east, and by the Mediterranean Sea to the south.
The beaches stretching west of here on the 'Cote bleue' are mainly sandy interspaced with rocky inlets and stunning cliffs. East the famous 'Calanques' provide lagoon like havens some accessible only by boat and others by the most stunning clifftop walks. The pretty villages and towns that line the coast here offer the most pleasant promenades and seafronts and you will want to spend all day and evening in one of the many cafés, bars or restaurants that entice you with the sweet smelling bouillabaisse or the ice cold pastis served on the terraces.
Inland the villages are overflowing with roman and gaulish history with ruins, fountains, roman baths and monuments galore. The most famous of painters such as Paul Cezanne spent many years here, in love with the pinkish light that bathes everything with warmth, from the Mount Saint Victoire to the perched villages further north.

Graveson area

Graveson is a typical Provençal village in the north of the Department at the foot of La Montagnette. Situated between the Rhône and the Durance, Graveson is surrounded by all the poetry of the Alpilles landscapes, with wooded hills covered in pines, olive trees and cypresses. The houses are huddled tightly together, avenues of plane trees, shady little squares, fountains and terraces which come to life at aperitif time.
Be sure to go and visit the Abbey of St Michel de Frigolet which is just a few kilometres outside the village.

Graveson has two museums which deserve a visit. The first is the Museum of Aromas and Perfume, housed in a lovely 19th-century farmhouse, where you can explore a whole world of delicate scents. Here are the precious stills used to produce an astonishing range of perfumes, together with copper vats, perfume bottles and diffusers (including an impressive collection of 19th and 20th-century examples), as well as essential oils and products associated with aromatherapy. Your visit also takes you to the Carré des Simples where aromatic plants are cultivated according to the purer (i.e. organic) traditions of the Middle Ages. The plants grown here include verbena, mint, lavender, basil, rosemary, savory and many more.
