Three rooms overlook the garden, while the fourth has a different layout for a couple's stay. The beds comprise a large double bed in three rooms and an extra-large double bed in the fourth. Each double room therefore has a bed for two people and a private bathroom.

The apartment has a bedroom with a large double bed and a living room with a sofa bed. It combines a separate sleeping area with a living space, with two sleeping places and a capacity of two people. A private bathroom completes the layout. The double rooms are suitable for a couple's stay, while the apartment separates the sleeping and living areas. Three double rooms overlook the garden; the apartment, meanwhile, combines a separate bedroom with a living room.

Gardanne is a Provençal town in the Bouches-du-Rhône, between Aix-en-Provence and Marseille. Its landscape combines hills, pine forests and urban neighbourhoods, and its history is closely linked to mining. The centre has a lively local scene, with shops and a market; the surrounding area alternates between wooded spaces and residential areas. This is a good stop for travellers who want to explore the Pays d’Aix while staying in a town less densely populated than its two larger neighbours.

Bois des Moulières, 550 m away, offers a natural setting for a walk. Écomusée de la Forêt, 610 m away, provides insight into Provençal woodland landscapes, while Château de Valabre and its park make for an outing nearby. The former mining industry is part of Gardanne's local identity. Gardanne railway station is 1.4 km away and connects the town to the regional rail network. Aix-en-Provence offers historic streets, markets and places associated with Paul Cézanne; the Camp des Milles Memorial sheds light on 20th-century history. Marseille Provence Airport is 18 km away.

Spring and autumn are pleasant seasons for exploring the villages and landscapes of the Pays d’Aix, while summer lends itself to swimming and early visits, before the hottest part of the day. You can spend a day walking in the woods around Gardanne and exploring the centre of Aix, then finish in the garden or at La Féraude's swimming pool when it is open. A car makes it easier to visit the villages, heritage sites and landscapes in the region; the train is another option for some journeys.
