Aux pieds tanques

Aux pieds tanques offers three double rooms for two people, measuring 12, 13 and 15 m². All are air-conditioned and equipped with a flat-screen TV, a wardrobe, heating and a double bed. Towels and bed linen are provided. Two rooms share a bathroom; the third stands out for its private bathroom with a shower and hairdryer. The first two share the same facilities and differ in size, with the 13 m² room slightly larger than the 12 m² room.

The 15 m² room is the most spacious of the three and the only option with a private bathroom. The 12 m² and 13 m² double rooms also have access to a shower and hairdryer in the shared bathroom. Each room includes a wardrobe or clothes rack, as well as the facilities needed for a stay for two. The choice therefore depends mainly on the space you want and whether you prefer a private bathroom.

The rooms are non-smoking and air-conditioned, and heating is also available. Breakfast is among the services offered.

Bed linen and towels are provided, and the bathrooms have a shower, toilet, toilet paper and hairdryer. The house is also well suited to walks around Barbentane.

Barbentane is a Provençal village in Bouches-du-Rhône, between Avignon and the Rhône. Its old lanes, gates and buildings reflect its history; Place Saint-Joseph sets the tone for a stay on a village scale. You can enjoy peaceful walks and heritage visits, with the surrounding countryside as a backdrop. The location suits travellers who want to combine village discoveries with city visits without staying in central Avignon.

Barbentane Castle and the Church of Notre-Dame de Grâce are open to visitors in the village. The Tour Anglica, a medieval remnant, is also within walking distance. Avignon makes for a longer excursion: the Palace of the Popes recalls the city’s leading role in the 14th century, while Pont Saint-Bénézet is one of its best-known monuments. Avignon TGV station is 3.3 km away; a car makes it easier to travel between Barbentane, Avignon and other towns in the region. Free public parking on site is useful if you are travelling by car.

Spring and autumn are good times for walking tours, when temperatures are generally milder. In summer, plan village walks for early or late in the day, then spend the hottest hours visiting monuments or taking a break on a terrace. You can combine Barbentane’s heritage with Avignon’s in a day, stopping at the Palace of the Popes and walking along the Rhône. The surrounding area is also suited to walks through Provence’s agricultural landscapes.
