A family house in the heart of Provence near Aix en Provence

Pertuis is an authentic little city located in the heart of Provence between the Mediterranean Sea and the Southern Alps. It is the ideal starting point to visit the Luberon region, its typical villages and beautiful landscapes of vineyards and lavender, while being only 20 minutes by car from Aix en Provence, 45 minutes from Marseille and 1 hour from Avignon city of the Popes. You will experience the local markets, the Provencal cuisine, the historical heritage of our region and the many music and theatre festivals during the summer season. Our region offers many opportunities for hiking, biking and water sports.

Our family house is located in a residential area of Pertuis, next to the municipal swimming pool and the tennis club. Our house is a recently renovated house from the 60's, with 4 bedrooms and one bathroom on the first floor. On the ground floor, the large kitchen and living room opens directly onto our garden. The garden is shaded by olive trees and many Mediterranean plants, with a small ornamental pond. We cultivate a vegetable garden for the pleasure of some fresh summer vegetables!
