A unique place for a dream holiday
The garden fountain, designed with vine leaves, is perfect for relaxing with the sound of water and birds in the small garden bordered by olive trees. In the shade of the fig tree, there is a romantic sculpture of Fanny's buttocks, the work of Peter Bracht and Sophie Segalen, a tribute to the local national sport of pétanque. The hundred-year-old Micocouliers, with an incredible presence, provide shade and coolness in summer, sheltering the large wrought iron table, made for unforgettable lunches and dinners...
Open all year round
