Photos and Description of the Fox-Amphoux holiday house

Wake up to a breathtaking panorama in one of Provence’s most stunning perched villages. Set in glorious open countryside in the heart of Provence’s Var region, the medieval hilltop village of Fox Amphoux has been the haunt of travellers stretching back to the time of the crusades when the local Auberge (as featured in the Dorling Kindersely Eyewitness Guide) played host to the Knights Templar. The village has changed little over the years; hidden away from the crowds of the coast, take pleasure in walking through olive groves with wild herbs underfoot, relaxing on the private terrace with a glass of something local to hand while shooting stars light the sky, eat at the Auberge de Vieux Fox (2 minutes walk) or watch the sun setting over the distant mountains. For a truly relaxing holiday and an experience of the real Provence, try Fox Amphoux - you won’t want to leave.

The Var is a popular, yet unspoilt area, with stunning landscapes, mountain ranges, virgin forests and still, crystal clear lakes. Fox Amphoux sits on the edge of The Verdon National Park, and France's largest lavender fields. Only 40 minutes to the north are the sheer cliffs and glistening waters of the Gorges de Verdon, Europe’s own Grand Canyon. The dazzling blue waters of Lac Ste Croix offer all the pleasures and sports of the Coast without the crowds; swimming, walking, sailing, cycling, fishing and riding are all on offer locally if the relaxing gets too much! In the villages of Aups, Salernes and Cotignac, enjoy the colours and smells of traditional Provençal markets and enjoy local produce at the market cafes, bars and restaurants. Eateries abound, specialising in the local world famous black truffles of Aups and other regional dishes. Fox has it’s own bakery, small shop and two restaurants close by. Larger supermarkets and shops are in Aups, Salernes and Barjols.

What others say: : “Under no circumstances miss the jewel of Fox Amphoux...you’ll wonder what it costs to retire here and you’ll certainly feel pleased with life.” (Richard Binns: Hidden France). “It is this sense of serenity that makes the central and upper Var so unexpectedly appealing. Even in August, you can drive for miles without seeing another car.” (Condé Nast Traveller June 2007)

Our ownership: We have owned the house since 2001, when we bought it from friends. It is furnished and equipped as our second home and until 2008 we only allowed people we know to stay there. All have commented on its perfect location, relaxing atmosphere, and that the house has everything you need. We have stayed comfortably with 6 people. The house has suited a variety of people. Two retired couples have stayed in the house for the past 4 years for the whole of September (this year they are staying in July to see the lavender fields) and enjoy visiting the local villages and relaxing around the house. Others have stayed with children and spend most days on the various beaches around the lake swimming, sunbathing, hiring boats and windsurfers. The lake is a reservoir so it can only have electric boats (no noise of engines or pollution). We have put together a guide to the area and can recommend restaurants including our own Auberge (a 2 minute walk!). This really is a home away from home.
