5 Self Catering Apartments and 5 Chambres d'Hôtes B&B
Between Avignon, Arles and Nîmes in the South of France
The Apartments sleep 2, 4, & 7 people respectively. With pool.


Le Domaine des Clos

The house is situated 7 kms from Beaucaire in peaceful open countryside surrounded by fields and vines and less than half an hour by car from Nîmes, Arles or Avignon and the Camargue. The centuries old atmosphere of this provençal farmhouse is everywhere, with its dovecote, fountain, wine cellar, stables and olive grove. You can wander over seven acres of garden, enjoy the swimming pool or relax in the shade on the patio, and daydream.

Courses also available: Children's nature and creativity classes.
A 5 day Wrought Iron Master class making wall lamps, table lamps, tables and chairs. See below.


The Apartments

The five apartments have been designed to be comfortable and spacious, and are furnished with warm provençal fabrics and Mediterranean pottery, and the odd antique. Each have a living room, kitchen and bathroom and one or two bedrooms.

Manon sleeps 2 people, Le Provençal, Four à Pain and Le Pigeonnier each sleep 4 people and Le Sud sleeps 7 people.

The Chambres d'Hôtes

Our five rooms all have their own private bathrooms and each one is a different colour. You can choose from yellow, reminiscent of Tuscany and the forties, a warm Mediterranean red, a fresh green with a hint of modern tones, a romantic, cosy pink or timeless blue and white. Breakfast is served in the dining room or under the covered patio in the garden.

Courses

Children's Easter Nature and Creativity Courses: Given by Claire Duval from the Fabre Museum in Montpellier. The classes involve painting, sketching and creating a nature trail book based on the observation of the plants, flowers, birds, insects and animals of Provence.

The classes are given on Monday to Friday, from 10am - 12 noon. Materials provided. Maximum six children. Cost: €80 per child.

Wrought Iron Master Classes: A beginners and intermediate course in the art of making wrought iron furniture, lights, lamps and motifs.

The four day course involves general theory in the morning and practical in the afternoon. Lunch included. Cost: €350

The Area

You can explore the countryside for miles on mountain bikes and there are canal boating excursions from Beaucaire. Golf courses, a riding centre, tennis and water sports centres are all within reach and we are only 45 kms from the coast at Saintes Maries de la Mer.

Beaucaire and Tarason close by, are pleasant to linger in and have all essential shops and restaurants, and markets on different days of the week.

Some of the loveliest places in Provence are here; the Roman towns of Nîmes and Arles, with its association with the painter Vincent Van Gogh, and the ancient town of Avignon and its bridge made famous by the nursery rhyme, all less than half an hour away. Saint Rémy de Provence, the Uzège Valley and the Alpilles hills are all within a reasonable distance, as is the vast wildlife reserve of the Camargue, where you can see flocks of pink flamingos and migrant birds, and sometimes the herds of wild horses and bulls.
