The Location

Callian - one of a string of fortified medieval villages - an ideal place to sample authentic French life and a convenient base from which to visit the many attractions of Provence. The nearest beaches are thirty minutes away; the nearest watersports at the Lac St Cassien, literally down the road. The famous Gorges du Verdon is an hour's drive west - Monte Carlo, an hour's drive east.

The Village

Callian. Of course, the village has its 'petanque' pitch as well as a friendly tennis club. From May-September the streets, whilst never overcrowded, buzz with ambiance - frequent 'fetes', open-air movies and busy bar terraces. In the spring, mild, sunny days, in the autumn, delicious game dishes, truffles and cepes, and in winter, the cosy comfort of log fires. Within a five minute walk of the house you find the bakers, butchers, grocers, newsagent, post office, bars and restaurants. Within a ten minute drive, a Farmers Market, two supermarkets and a large choice of restaurants and specialty shops.
