Le LODGE De La Sainte Baume

The chalet brings the sleeping and living areas together in a detached 30 m² accommodation. It has a separate bedroom with a double bed and a living room with a sofa bed; this layout can accommodate up to four people. A private bathroom with a shower completes the arrangement. The kitchen is integrated into the accommodation and includes an oven, a hob, a fridge, a microwave and a kettle.

The terrace and balcony look out over the garden and mountains. Air conditioning, soundproofing and a flat-screen TV are also among the chalet’s amenities. The coffee machine and dining area let you prepare and enjoy meals on site. As there is only one chalet, its sleeping areas and amenities describe a complete accommodation rather than several room categories.

The chalet has an outdoor saltwater swimming pool, a garden and a sun terrace. The balcony and outdoor furniture let you enjoy views of the mountains and garden, while the barbecue facilities and outdoor dining area provide a space for al fresco meals. Sun loungers, parasols and pool or beach towels are also available.

The kitchen includes a coffee machine, a kettle, an oven, a hob, a fridge and kitchenware. Indoors, air conditioning, heating and soundproofing complete the amenities. The accommodation offers free Wi-Fi, suitable for streaming and video calls, as well as a flat-screen TV with satellite channels and a streaming service. Free private parking is available on site, with a charging station for electric vehicles. The area is suited to walks, hiking, cycling and horse riding.

Plan-dʼAups-Sainte-Baume is on the Provençal plateau, in the Sainte-Baume massif. The village and its hamlets are surrounded by wooded hills and limestone landscapes; the setting is rural, with roads linking the different inhabited areas. This destination particularly suits travellers drawn to walking, viewpoints and sites associated with the religious history of Provence. Forest paths offer an easy way to explore the surroundings at your own pace.

The Sainte-Baume Managed Biological Reserve protects a remarkable natural area criss-crossed by hiking trails. The Grotte Sainte-Marie-Madeleine is a pilgrimage site associated with Provençal tradition, while the Saint-Pilon offers a viewpoint over the surrounding hills. The area also includes caves such as the Grotte de Betton and the Grotte aux Œufs. The hamlets of Le Plan and Pas de Roubaud let you explore the surrounding area through landscapes typical of the plateau. A car makes it easier to travel between the villages and walking trail starting points; the places mentioned are spread across the countryside.

In spring and autumn, temperatures are often pleasant for walking the trails and visiting sites in the Sainte-Baume. In summer, plan outings early in the day, before the hottest hours, then enjoy the swimming pool on your return. You could spend a day combining a forest hike, a visit to the cave and a break in the village. In winter, the terrain and weather can affect access to the paths; bring suitable shoes and clothing for the season.
