La Maison Bleue

La Maison Bleue has a single double room, furnished for two guests in a village house. It measures 16 m² and has a private bathroom with a shower, toilet and hairdryer. Soundproofing provides welcome separation from the other areas of the house. The room also includes a wardrobe, a desk and heating. It has one extra-large double bed. Bed linen and towels are provided, and toiletries are available. Access to the executive lounge completes the areas available to guests.

The room stands out for its simple, functional amenities, with a workspace and private bathroom in a room for two. The upper floors are accessible by stairs only. The house encourages guests to read and socialise in its shared lounge; the room itself does not have a television. Its layout suits travellers who would rather stay in a village house than a large hotel.

La Maison Bleue offers several spaces in which to enjoy the house and its surroundings. The sunny terrace, outdoor furniture and solarium provide places to sit outside, while the shared lounge is a place to gather indoors. The art gallery hosts temporary exhibitions, and film nights are among the activities on offer. The house is adults-only and the rooms are non-smoking.

Continental breakfast is available. Free Wi-Fi is provided in the shared areas. Free public parking is available on the street or nearby, with a charging station for electric vehicles and spaces accessible to guests with reduced mobility. You can hire a bicycle, go for a walk or a cycle, hike or play tennis. A shuttle service, an on-site mini-market and a shared lounge complete the facilities.

Sault is a Provençal village on the Albion plateau in Vaucluse, with old lanes and houses clustered around its centre. Village life revolves around its shops and markets, while open countryside begins on its outskirts. The lavender fields that characterise the Sault area draw visitors in summer; the village also suits those looking for walks and country roads away from large towns.

Notre-Dame-de-la-Tour Church is 60 m from the house, and the municipal museum, 100 m away, offers an introduction to local history. La Promenade is a green space 90 m away. To explore the surrounding area, the Nesque Viewpoint, 4.8 km away, offers views of the Nesque Gorges. Aroma’plantes Distillery, 1.5 km away, showcases the local expertise associated with aromatic plants and lavender. Mont Ventoux is a draw for more active outings: its roads attract cyclists and its trails hikers. A car is useful for reaching neighbouring villages and planning excursions in Vaucluse.

Late June and July are particularly good times to see the lavender in bloom, although roads and villages are busier. Spring and autumn are well suited to hiking and sightseeing in milder temperatures. A day might combine a walk around Sault, a stop at a distillery and an outing to the Nesque Gorges; cycling enthusiasts can spend longer exploring the slopes of Mont Ventoux.
