"Thank you again for making it such an amazing trip. It was so much more than a cooking course - it was a sensory experience of note, with a cultural and history tour included - so much more than what I bargained for."

Bed and Breakfast

The Bed and Breakfast is open for the summer season from July through September. It is open for month to month rentals from October through May.

the entryCome visit Arles and make our home your home-base in Provence. In our lovingly renovated Bed and Breakfast we have five individually decorated and spacious rooms. Upon entering our home you'll see a blend of the ancient and the new: modern plumbing and air conditioning, fully renovated 10th century walls, and beamed ceilings from the Renaissance... We've sought out hand-stitched quilts, comfortable easy chairs, writing tables, plush towels and more. And as a devotee of good novels, mysteries and more, I've put a lending library in each room-- take one, leave one, as you choose. I'm sure you'll find something to your taste, and even in your language...

the ochre room We are located right in the center of the city of Arles, in the heart of Provence and in the crook of the Rhône River, just off the Place Voltaire, below the 2000 year old Roman Arena. Easy to find, there is plentiful parking nearby, and for those of you who come by train, we are just a 5 minute walk from the Arles' train station -- So you don't need a car to find us. Note that we've put directions to our home on our web site and you can print them out at home and bring them with you.

Two of our rooms look onto an inner courtyard, two look out onto a small street, and our last is on the top of the house, with views in all four directions.

The rooms are 85E the first night for a couple with breakfast. 140E for two nights, and 70E for each additional night. 15E per additional person in the room, children under 12 are 10E.
