LE MAS, THE PERFECT STARTING POINT FOR EXPLORING 

Le Mas serves as a gateway to the Alpilles Regional Nature Park, a protected area featuring diverse landscapes. Hilltop villages, remarkable heritage sites, and paths lined with olive trees: every outing whether on foot, by bike, or by car reveals the authentic spirit of Provence. A subtle harmony between natural landscapes, living heritage, and the Provençal way of life.

VISIT LES BAUX-DE-PROVENCE

From the Mas, a short walk takes you to the iconic village of Les Baux-de-Provence, one of the “Most Beautiful Villages of France." Perched on a rocky promontory, it offers an exceptional panoramic view of the Alpilles mountains. With its cobblestone streets, medieval castle, and art galleries, the village reveals a rich historical heritage. As night falls, the light softens the stone, prolonging the magic of the place making it the perfect setting for a romantic moment.
