Our guests speak best about the property. They often retain the absolute calm and the immense spaces, terraces and living areas of the estate, an ideal context when the group can go up to 18 people and even 24 with the BARN option.
The petanque games at night, the night lights, the heated pool (on request) and, optionally, (see the section "Additional photos"), the lounge bar and the large games room of the BARN, are also popular.

The space
Version anglaise:

Sunny Provence awaits you in this beautifully restored sheepfold. Its impressive stone façade embodies the region's rich rural heritage. The interiors are modern with rustic touches.
The sheepfold in Aix-en-Provence, a former farm property, comprises two buildings: the "Grand Mas" with its inner courtyard and six bedrooms, and the "Petit Mas", a former mansion that has been converted into a guest house with three additional bedrooms, allowing it to accommodate 18 people for the price listed in the advertisement. On request, it is possible to add on specific request a third building, the GRANGE, for larger groups (up to 24 people) or those wishing to enjoy a large games room/bar lounge for an additional €320 per day.
Provence is a renowned region of France, and guests can enjoy its fruits at will from this property. An internationally renowned golf course, Pont Royal, and excellent vineyards are just minutes away, while the charming little town of Saint-Cannat is less than a 5-minute drive away, where herb cheeses, sausages, tapenades and other delicacies await you. Venture into the Luberon mountains and its renowned little villages, Lourmarin, Ménerbes or Lacoste to the north, or discover the famous Calanques National Park or climb Montagne Sainte Victoire, symbol of the painter Cézanne, to the south. You will always end up in the city of Aix-en-Provence, an architectural gem of the 17th century, the heart and capital of Provence, just 20 minutes away, with a plethora of markets and restaurants offering unique and colourful Provençal dishes in ancient streets. Finally, return home at golden hour and enjoy a glass of local "Côte de Provence" red wine in the airy courtyard or in the air-conditioned comfort of the sumptuous dining room. At La Bergerie, you can discover Provence, so make the most of it.
