Reached along a small road threading through garrigue at the edge of the Hameau de Fléchon, La Bastide de Fléchon is a meticulously restored 18th-century Provençal bastide where stone arched windows, exposed oak beams and walls finished in clay and lime compose an interior of considered elegance. The 350m² house sits on a hectare of landscaped gardens, where sentinel cypresses rise beside rows of centenarian olive trees and an overflow pool draws a still horizon line against the limestone ridges of the Alpilles park beyond. Interiors marry the weight of antique stone — limestone slabs from Les Baux, dark oak parquet, a massive fireplace — with the softness of upholstered sofas, kilim rugs and curtaining in Pierre Frey and Elitis linens, while a Falcon gas range and bronze travertine worktop establish the kitchen as a room for serious conviviality. Add to this a pool house dining for twelve, three distinct outdoor terraces, a daily breakfast of local pastries and seasonal produce, and a house manager on call, and it is clear that La Bastide de Fléchon has been conceived as a place for unhurried, deeply Provençal living.

Highlights
Inside the Alpilles Park — the limestone ridgeline of the Alpilles regional natural park is not a distant view but an immediate presence, visible from the pool, the master suite and the garden, the garrigue audible from the terrace at dusk.
The Centenarian Olive Grove — rows of ancient olive trees planted at the foot of the hill frame the overflow pool from below, their silver canopies shifting with the wind against the rocky Alpilles backdrop, a landscape feature that no amount of garden design could replicate.
The Collected Interior — ancient amphorae beside the pool, a Hindu statue in the entrance hall, antique furniture sourced from flea markets, a spiral ironwork staircase and kilim rugs on limestone floors: this is a house assembled over time with a discerning eye, not dressed for rental.
The Master Suite — 74m² with a 200 x 200cm bed, a dressing room, a freestanding bathtub and a wide window that frames the olive grove and the Alpilles park beyond, the view shifting.
Maussane on Foot — one of the most quietly coveted villages in all of Provence, with its market, wine caves and sun-bleached restaurant terraces, sits ten minutes from the front gate without a car.
