Discover our welcome place and our territory

Les Fiolles

Our gîte, located in the heart of our market-garden farm, offers a peaceful, bright setting. Spacious and comfortable, it opens onto a large south-facing terrace, pleasantly shaded for enjoying fine weather.

Around it, a vast garden and orchard invite you to relax and discover the seasons. The courtyard and parking area provide a practical and friendly welcome. Here, we live to the rhythm of Provencal nature, between sun, greenery and authenticity.

Our eco-responsible and farming commitments

We are committed to eco-responsible tourism, in line with our values of respect for nature and the living world. On our farm, we practice organic farming, preserve biodiversity (Refuge LPO label) and promote the region with the Valeur Parc naturel régional des Alpilles label.

We favor short circuits, limit waste and invite our guests to live in harmony with nature, discover the farm and taste our seasonal produce.
