The Family
We have been living in this 18th century Bastide for many years. Monique and Dominique raised their 4 children (Isabelle, Florence, Charlotte and Benjamin) and some of the grandchildren were also born and grown in this family Bastide.
Monique is a painter, Dominique is a retired architect, Isabelle is an actress and theatre teacher, Florence is a dance teacher, Charlotte teaches gyrotonic and runs a dance school and Benjamin is a production assistant in a company that organises events.
The little children, Léa, Jules, Achille, Ariane and Méline are still at school.
Our Bastide, positive energy provider, is a peaceful haven in any season located at the very heart of Aix-en-Provence.

• Lit up lights all day or all night long
• Closed shutters while the sun is shining outside
• Windows open when the heating system is full-on
• Going down the stairs crazy
• Mixing up garden and Club Med
