The Surrounding Area

Sites and towns in the near and farther vicinity

Surrounded by its own ten-acre working vineyard, the Mas is nestled in a cozy hollow just outside the famous Roman battlefield towns of Trets and Pourrières. The small, charming village of Pourrières is within walking distance with local bakers offering fresh pastries and bread every morning.

The location is excellent for exploring the heart of Provence, with only 20 minutes to the center of Aix and 50 minutes to the seaside port of Cassis. Camargue, Arles and Nîmes can be visited in an easy day trip, and Cannes and Nice are only 90 minutes away. There is a wonderful daily market in the nearby town of St. Maximin La St. Baume, also known for its magnificent cathedral with the crypt and relics of Marie Magdalene.

The Golf du Chateau D’Arc and Golf de la Sainte-Baume are two acclaimed golf courses in the immediate vicinity.
