You will be our guests at the centre during your stay. Although only 20 minutes south of Avignon, the region's cultural capital, the centre itself is a former farm in the countryside, surrounded by vines and olive trees.

The house is an ideal base for walks on public footpaths. There is a beautiful 45 minute circuit passing vineyards, olive trees and a horse paddock, offering wonderful views of Les Allpilles and Le Luberon. Many participants also like to walk to the nearby village of Eyragues (3 kms away), which has several cafés and basic amenities. The region around the house can also be explored by bicycle.

 

 Provençal colours give the house a warm and cosy atmosphere. The  bedrooms are spacious and comfortable with private bathrooms. There is a participant's lounge, containing information about the region. It is a place to relax and read a book or enjoy a conversation with other participants or guests (in French of course!)

Magali is also a  qualified dietician and has a great interest in food. She combines traditional recipes from her family with her own innovations. Lunch and dinner are relaxing opportunities to talk and try Provençal cuisine. During the week one lunch is taken in a local town in a restaurant or café of your choice and one dinner is taken with Magali at one of her favourite local restaurants.    

Meals taken at the center are homemade by Magali and her family using ingredients from organic farms and local small-scale producers. They are garnished with Provençal herbs from our garden.

 


Eating is a pleasure in Provence and the Mediterranean diet ensures that you can enjoy tasty cuisine without putting on weight! The dishes depend on the season, but during your stay you will be able to try some of the local wine and the region's specialities: les Beignets de Fleurs de Courgettes, la Daube Provençale, la Ratatouille maison, les Tomates à la provençale, Le Tian d'aubergines au fromage de brebis and la Soupe au Pistou.

Dinner is often taken with guests and starts with a typical Provençal 'apéritif.
