Chateau de Beaucouse

Le Chateau de Beaucouse offers two 25 m² Deluxe Double Rooms, each for two people and with a private bathroom and a seating area with a sofa. Both have a flat-screen TV with streaming services, bed linen and a hairdryer. The pool with a view is another feature of these rooms.

One room overlooks the mountains, while the other faces the garden. Both also have free toiletries and a bathroom with a shower or bath. Heating completes the indoor amenities. The two rooms therefore combine a seating area with a private bathroom, each offering a different view: mountain scenery in one and the garden in the other.

The outdoor areas include a garden, a sun terrace and a seasonal outdoor swimming pool. Sun loungers and parasols are available by the pool. Indoors, the shared lounge has a TV area; you will also find board games and a billiards table. The bar serves drinks, including wine and champagne.

Free private parking is available on site. Wi-Fi is free, with a speed suitable for HD streaming and video calls. Pets are allowed, possibly for an additional charge; pet bowls and a pet basket are available. The rooms have a private bathroom, a seating area, a flat-screen TV and heating. Breakfast is served as a continental or buffet spread. The property also prepares packed lunches for outings.

Thoard is a village in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, set among hills, small valleys and scattered hamlets. This stay is suited to travellers who enjoy country roads, walks and quiet stops away from large urban centres. The village is modest in scale, while nearby peaks shape the horizon and offer changing scenery through the seasons. A car makes it easier to travel between the villages and local sights.

The village of Thoard, 3.5 km away, is a chance to explore its narrow streets and the atmosphere of a Provençal market town. Vaunavès, 680 m away, is a small hamlet within the commune. Walkers can head for Sommet de Vaumuse or Pic d'Oise, two nearby peaks, while the Chapelle de la Transfiguration is a reminder of the local religious heritage. Pont de la Reine Jeanne is another outing in the rural landscape. Digne-les-Bains and its facilities are accessible by car for a more urban excursion.

Spring and autumn are good for walks when temperatures are milder; in summer, it is best to plan walks for the morning or late afternoon. You could spend a day walking in the hills, stopping in a nearby village and then relaxing in the garden or by the pool. Winter is quieter, and the landscape takes on a different character. Plan to have a vehicle to explore the area and reach walking routes.
