Maillane is a village in Bouches-du-Rhône, on the Provençal plain north of the Alpilles. It has the feel of a small town, shaped by its connection with Frédéric Mistral, a writer and a leading figure in the Provençal language. The village square, old streets and agricultural landscapes set the scene for a rural stop, appreciated by travellers who want to explore the surrounding area without staying in a large city.

The Maison de Frédéric Mistral offers an insight into the poet's life and work, and his tomb is also in the village. The Jardin Aquatique Aux Fleurs de l'Eau offers a walk among plants. The nearby village of Graveson is another Provençal destination; local roads also lead to the Alpilles and their walking trails. Avignon adds the Palace of the Popes and Pont Saint-Bénézet to your excursions. Tarascon station and Avignon TGV station serve the area; a car makes it easier to visit the villages and natural sites. Free public parking is near the property.

Spring and autumn are good seasons for walks through villages and visits to historic sites, with temperatures often milder than in the height of summer. In summer, plan walks for early in the day, then spend the hottest hours visiting a museum or taking a break on the terrace. You can combine a day in Maillane and Graveson with a visit to Avignon to see its monuments. Walkers can set aside another outing to explore the landscapes of the Alpilles, bearing the summer heat in mind.
