Barbentane, where Mas de la Gramillère is located, is a Provençal village in Bouches-du-Rhône, on the Rhône plain between Avignon and Arles. Its centre retains ancient gates, village streets and heritage landmarks to discover on foot. The surrounding countryside, with farmland and open landscapes, gives this stop a more relaxed pace than that of the nearby larger cities. It suits travellers who want to alternate visits to villages and heritage sites with outings in the city.

In Barbentane, the Tour Anglica and Porte Calendrale are among the village’s landmarks; Notre-Dame de Grâce Church is also nearby. Avignon offers the chance to visit the Palace of the Popes, a vast medieval palace, and Pont Saint-Bénézet, a famous historic bridge over the Rhône. Avignon TGV station is 4.0 km away, and Avignon-Centre station also provides access to the city centre. A car makes it easier to get to the villages and sights in the region; the guest house’s private parking is free.

Spring and autumn are good times for walks through the villages and visits to heritage sites, with temperatures often milder than in summer. At these times of year, sunny days are well suited to outings in the countryside and exploring the surrounding area. In summer, plan outdoor visits for early in the day and save the hottest hours for a break by the pool. You can spend a day in Avignon between the palace, the old town and the banks of the Rhône; another day could be devoted to Barbentane and the neighbouring villages. The wine-growing region also comes alive at harvest time, generally in September and October.
