The development:
Located 10 minutes from Saint Remy de Provence in the Alpilles and at the edge of the Camargues, this hotel residence offers studio to 1 bedroom apartments and comes with an outdoor residence. The building was pre-existing and has undertaken heavy renovations.
The location:
The picturesque village Fontvieille is situated in the heart of the "Provence des Alpilles", not far from the historic arena at Arles, the citadel of the Baux de Provence, the museums of Saint-Remy and the Avignon Festival which is less than 30km away. The superb countryside of the Alpilles consists of vast fields of olive trees, shrubs and lush green fields, with the majestic Montmajour abbey in the distance. The village is made of ancient houses built from stone extracted from the famous quarries founded in the 15th century. Fontvieille is known for being the place where the French writer Alphonse Daudet wrote his famous "Lettres de Mon Moulin" (Letters from my Mill). You can visit the "Moulin de Daudet" and its small museum, climb the small hill until you reach the summit where the wind-mill overlooks the valley. He dreamt up his characters while listening to the stories from the shepherds and inhabitants of the Montauban chateau. A variety of walking-tracks ranging from 2 to 9 km are available so visitors can appreciate the beauty of the natural environment, and it is even possible to walk in the foot-steps of la chevre de M. Seguin (Mister Seguin’s goat).
Local food and gastronomy:
Fresh local produce includes olive oil, honey, tomatoes, peaches, garlic and herbs, fish, mussels, wild boar, truffles. Daube de Sanglier (wild boar) a la Provencale is a traditional autumn stew and fish dishes are also popular- bouillabaisse (fish stew), or escabeche (fish marinated in citrus juice).
