The development:
Located in Malaucene close to Avignon and Orange in Provence, the residence Les Mazets du Ventoux offers 1 to 2 bedroom duplex apartments, and comes with a swimming pool and a Spa. The residence, conceived at the heart of parkland planted with centenary trees, features a outdoor heated pool, a Jacuzzi, a sauna, a hammam (steam room) and a massage cabin dedicated to wellness and relaxation. Each accommodation comprises tiled or parquet floors, equipped and fitted kitchens, upscale bathrooms, flat tv screens and bespoke furniture. The residence also proposes smart services including a personalised welcoming for each owner, a cleaning service and a reception.
The location:
The residence is a stone’s throw from the historic centre of the village. Capital of the Ventoux, Malaucene is a medieval village nestled within old ramparts. Little by little, Malaucene became a large market town by developing the same industrial activity over the last four centuries: the Papeteries de Malaucene. This paper mill specialises in manufacturing the tips for cigarette filters. Agriculture has developed alongside this and in the last few years tourism has also become part of Malaucene's resources. Strolling through the streets, you will be able to admire the beautiful residences dating from the 16th to 18th centuries, the ancient fountains and the wash-houses. On the Cours Isnards you will find restaurants, café terraces and hotels as well as numerous shops. Not forgetting the market on Wednesdays. This will provide an opportunity to buy, not only the famous "blanches", "burlats" and "coeur de pigeon" varieties of Ventoux cherries that the area is so well known for, but also asparagus, apricots and other regional produce. Malaucene is the starting point for many walking trails and horse-riding trails to the Mont Ventoux. There are numerous leisure activities available here for children and adults.
Activities:
Activities available locally are hiking, cycling, horse riding, tennis, fishing, climbing, paragliding and visiting old historical remains like the Gothic church, the Clock tower, the Chapel of Groseau. One can also visit a llama farm. Nature lovers will be delighted by the botanical trail and walking in the Malaucene forest with an officer from the National Forest Authority in a guided tour or the superb trail leading to the panoramic viewpoint at Calvaire.
Food and local gastronomy:
Fresh fruit, vegetables and seafood feature heavily in Provençal cuisine reflecting the climate and geography of the region and differentiating it from the cuisine of other regions of France. Typical dishes include bouillabaisse (a seafood stew made with tomatoes, olive oil, wine, herbs and spices), daube Provençal (stew of vegetables, garlic, herbs and beef braised in wine), soupe au pistou (a minestrone-style soup made from tomatoes, beans, summer squashes, potatoes, olive oil and basil) and aïoli (a thick, garlic mayonnaise often served with fish).
