Pin this Villa
Villa Arcoule is a contemporary villa located within a 5-minute walk of the village of Paradou. Newly built with attention to light, clean lines, and modern comforts, this property is a chic get-away in a wonderfully central location.

Bright open windows align the front of the home, creating a gorgeous connection between indoor and outdoor space. A large electric shade can be maneuvered throughout the day to allow as much or as little natural light as desired by the guests.

The large terraces leading to the mirror pool invite guests to enjoy sunbathing, cocktail hours, or evenings under the starlight in the many comfortable seating areas.

In the village of Paradou, fantastic local shops can be found such as a baker, butcher, small grocer, and famous Bistrot du Paradou.

The well known Alpilles villages of Les Baux de Provence, Maussane, Fontvieille, Eygalières and Saint Rémy de Provence are also all within a 15-minute drive from the home.

This is a spectacular choice for a family or friends touring the Alpilles region.

Locale

Le Paradou is the charming name given to this tiny village situated between the Baux de Provence and Maussane les Alpilles at the foot of the Alpilles mountain range.

Although this village may well ressemble Paradise, the origins of its name Le Paradou are much more down to earth... its name comes from the ancient windmills used by the weavers who lived on the banks of the Arcoule river.

In the middle ages, the village was called St Martin de Castillon (not to be confused with the village in the Vaucluse).

Established at the foot of the fortress, the Baux de Provence, the fate of the village was closely linked to the nobles, the "seigneurs des Baux". Two historic artefacts from this era can be seen today : a surprising hydraulic irrigation system and the remains of a 12th century chateau with crumbling towers and a walled enclosure.

You can also visit an unusual museum displaying more than 400 different santons and 32 scale-models in an area 400 m2. La Petite Provence du Paradou is understood to be one of the biggest creches in the world. This museum merits a detour as you can admire the work of some of the most talented Santon makers in Provence.

Le Paradou is a delightful village filled with beautifully restored houses and colourful gardens. With its narrow, well-maintained streets, brightly painted shutters, restaurants decorated in Provencal style and tempting hand-craft boutiques, Le Paradou is a glorious example of Provence at its best !

Getting here:
The easiest way to get to Inland Provence from the US is to fly to Marseilles International Airport (MRS). If you would like to see Paris, fly to Charles de Gaulle Airport then connect directly to the TGV(high speed train) from CDG TGV2 to Avignon TGV(3 hours direct) and rent a car. You would plan to see Paris on the way back, taking the TGV from Avignon TGV to Gare de Lyon, getting a cab to your hotel in the city.
