Overview
Description
Our family house dates back to 1790, has been recently renovated but retains its Provençal charm.It sits in a quiet country lane nestled between the River Durance and La Garrigue (a wood and heathland. Both have lovely walking trails..
The occasional hiker or horse rider is all we sometimes hear in the midst of the peace and calm of the surrounding countryside. And yet we are only a 12 minute walk or 3 minute drive to the village of Merindol with its restaurants, cafes, bakeries, tearoom, wine bar and grocers..
And on the way there’s the roadside stall selling Provençal fruit and veggies……
The house has three bedrooms upstairs plus a cosy living room with sofas, dining table, a chimney, TV and DVD player.
The downstairs has an entrance room, a big vaulted living room, with sofas and a billiard table and a bunk-bedroom, opening onto the terrace.
The summer kitchen opens onto a shady terrace with a BBQ and two areas for eating….under the mulberry tree or a large parasol. The kitchen is equipped with dishwasher, fridge /freezer, microwave/oven, toaster, kettle, mixer, etc.
This terrace leads to the swimming pool - 9.50cm x 4.50cm with a depth of 1.50cm (steps at one end) and to the pretty garden with trees, grass and plants. Depending on the time of year you could find cherries, apricots, olives, figs, walnuts and pomegranates.
There are also swings, a football goal, and kid’s playhouse.
The pool area has loungers with shade given from a large parasol and olive trees. Around the garden with its view onto Le Petit Luberon is plenty of seating as well as an ‘apero’ table where you can sip chilled rosé while watching a perfect sunset.
If you feel the need to get away, there are many hilltop Luberon villages with wine tasting, markets and music just a short drive away and in a hour you can be in busy and intersting Marseille, Avignon and Aix en Provence. Also the Camargue,and Sts Marie’s de la Mer’s sandy beaches.

Guest book review
By Richard and Julia on 26-Jul-2024Le grand jardin is a very special place. We will all hold it in our memories. We have run with the bulls in St Rémy, kayaked our way to the Pont du Gard, and abandoned our golf clubs for good at the Pont Royal. We have, most of all, loved being here with Nellie (a pigeon) and the summer kitchen which has been our oasis. Pure and utter bliss. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Thank you email
By Peter and Emma on 26-Aug-2016We leave the Grand Jardin with many happy memories, and can't quite believe it has been 3 weeks. Thank you so much it has been amazing. We've had a tremendous time exploring Provence and just dwelling in the pleasure of the house and its surroundings. We've canoe'd, pony trekked, visited the Roman's at Pont du Gard, the Haribo Factory, and many beautiful villiages which I'm sure you're all so very familiar with. Alongside that has just been the pleasure of hanging out at the house eating, reading, swimming and playing many games, to name but a few things. We also got a good chunk of the Olympics too.
