Grande Provence

Grande Provence, the Huguenot heritage

With origins dating back to the late 17th century, the Grande Provence estate is the perfect illustration of the success of the French Huguenots. Its name evokes the nostalgia of its first owner, Pierre Joubert, who fled his village in Provence in the face of persecution. Its period manor house, built in the purest Cape Dutch style, is home to a popular restaurant, offering fresh and delicious cuisine in a modern setting featuring deep blue-grey tones. Its cottage, more recent yet wonderfully respectful of the period style, comprises 5 suites with contemporary designer decoration, tactfully blending charcoal grey with white linen, and industrial materials (concrete and metal) with natural essences (wood and sisal). Ideal for families, a 2-bedroom house is also available. And to complete this picture, a splendid swimming pool faces your cottage!
