Surroundings and Location

Monks of the Carthusian Order built the manor house in the eighteenth century. At the time of the French Revolution in 1789 the Domaine was owned by the Knights of the Order of Malta. These origins help to explain the sense of peace and grandeur the buildings extol.

Large stands of towering cypress pines adorn the extensive lawns, situated to allow magnificent views of the surrounding fields of wheat, corn, sunflowers and other commercial crops. The 23 by 50 foot swimming pool is hidden behind dense rows of 15 foot laurel bushes A large barn to the left of the manor house has been converted into a seven car garage. The guest parking area is hidden behind it.

Within fifteen minutes are the cities of Avignon and Orange with their architectural treasures and music and theater festivals. Avignon and its surrounding are known for their world-renowned Michelin-star restaurants. Within half an hour are two golf courses. Within a half to one hour's drive you will find famous sights and ancient villages to explore including the Pont du Gard, Uzès, St. Rmy de Provence, the hill towns of the Alpilles and the Luberon, Arles, Les Baux, Aix-en-Provence and Isle-sur-la- Sorgues with its 200 antique dealers.

The historical city of Avignon is easily accessible.
