## Access

This house features authentic stone walls, which contribute to its charm and natural coolness. As with many traditional stone buildings, some humidity may occasionally be noticeable depending on the season and weather conditions.

The house is located on the heights of the charming village of Vaugines, which has preserved its pure Provençal authenticity, reflected in its picturesque narrow streets, vaulted stairways, small squares, and beautiful historic homes.
Stroll through the winding lanes and arched staircases toward the church, just as the characters of Jean de Florette and Manon des Sources did—films partly immortalized here by director Claude Berri.

Béatrice and Michel are delighted to share their family home, for which they truly fell in love with its ancient stone walls and its proximity to the church of Vaugines.
They chose to renovate it as a family project, with passion and high standards, supported by the invaluable help of their children, who are architects by profession, in order to restore all its charm and authenticity.

Rich in history, the house was notably frequented by the writer Henri Bosco, who was close to the family of the previous owners.
It later belonged to an association that welcomed underprivileged children for holidays in the Luberon, before beginning a new chapter today as a home dedicated to sharing and conviviality.

Free parking spaces are available just below the house. A larger free car park is also located approximately 200 metres away.
A public charging station for electric vehicles is available approximately 150 metres from the house.

📍 The village of Vaugines is ideally situated between Lourmarin and Cucuron, two of the most beautiful villages in Provence.
Lourmarin, listed among Les Plus Beaux Villages de France, is only 5.5 km away.
Cucuron, a magnificent and typically Provençal village with authentic charm, is located just 2.2 km from the house.
