This northern part of Provence has a special charm imbued with a strong sense of authenticity. The valleys, where vineyards and olive groves mingle, have something of a Tuscan feel. The small hilltop villages come to life when the Provencal markets take place, but have nonetheless protected their souls from crowds of tourists. Mont Ventoux, an icon throughout the region, combines both majesty and protection. The Domaine d'Arfuyen, located in the Dentelles de Montmirail massif, boasts an exceptional setting featuring cliffs, mountains, scrubland and Mediterranean species across an area of fifty hectares. It is both far from everything and close to Vaison-la-Romaine. The valley is a haven of peace, sheltered from the mistral and soothed by the hum of the cicadas. The sources are never far away. This house was the perfect place for our large family. Everything needed to be rethought and renovated which gave us the opportunity to shape the property to our liking.
