La Riclauchette

The private pool sets this room apart from standard categories and complements access to the guest house's outdoor pool. The room includes a double bed, a clothes drying rack and heating. This setup suits two travellers looking for a space with a private bathroom and views of the outdoor areas. The room brings together the essentials for a stop in Maillane, with access to the garden and pool areas at La Riclauchette.

La Riclauchette has an outdoor pool, a private pool and a garden furnished with outdoor furniture. The terrace extends the outdoor spaces, while sun loungers provide a place to relax by the water. Pool cover is also among the facilities. The guest house has air conditioning and heating.

Continental breakfast is served on site. Free public parking is available without prior reservation. Wi-Fi is free in the shared areas. The room has its own bathroom with a shower, toilet, towels, hairdryer and free toiletries. It also includes a wardrobe or clothes rack, a clothes drying rack and a socket near the bed. Non-smoking areas complete the facilities on offer. These amenities provide practical options for a stop in Maillane, with time for both the pool and visits to the village.

Maillane is a village in Bouches-du-Rhône, on the Provençal plain north of the Alpilles. It has the feel of a peaceful small town, closely tied to the life and landscapes of inland Provence. The poet Frédéric Mistral is strongly associated with the village, where his former home, now a museum, and his tomb can be found. The lanes and local public spaces invite you to take a relaxed walk, away from large urban centres.

The Maison de Frédéric Mistral offers a glimpse into the world of the Provençal writer, while Sainte-Agathe Church is a local landmark. Jardin Aquatique Aux Fleurs de l'Eau offers a walk among plants and ponds. For a livelier outing, Avignon has the Palace of the Popes, the Pont Saint-Bénézet and the historic centre; the palace is 13 km away according to the listed nearby places. Avignon TGV railway station is 9 km away, and Tarascon railway station is 10 km away. A car makes it easier to travel between the villages and the sites of the Alpilles.

Spring and autumn are good seasons for walking and trips into the countryside, when temperatures are milder. In summer, the pool offers a welcome break after a day of sightseeing; it is best to plan outdoor visits for the cooler hours. You can spend a day in Maillane exploring Mistral's legacy, then head to Avignon for its heritage and museums. Provençal landscapes, neighbouring villages and historic sites offer a variety of outings without changing your base.
