Les Jardins de Baracane - Bed & Breakfast in Vaucluse
12, rue Baracane, 84000 Avignon, Vaucluse
Provence - Alps - Riviera,
Francia
Slip through narrow streets to a beautiful house in exquisite gardens. The rich silk merchants of Avignon once lived here and your worldly hosts Olivier and Laurence usher you in with a coffee or glass of wine. Take it to a comfy sofa, or one of the garden’s secret places, with only birdsong and the whisper of scant breezes in the trees to break the silence.
There’s a Moroccan feel here, hidden behind high, cool walls with a long, inviting swimming pool for cooling off. Return to the five south-facing bedrooms – each quiet, private, quirky, with cossetting beds and bathrooms. Breakfasts of local organic juice, pastries, and various jams and honeys is served to you on the gravel terrace or in the kitchen but feel welcome to make yourself a snack or drink if the mood strikes.
Avignon and wider Provence are at your feet. Walk to the famous Pont, Palais des Papes and the waterwheels of rue des Teinturiers, graze the covered food market on place Pie. Make trips to Uzès, Arles, Nîmes; climb Mont Ventoux, wander lavender fields or the hills of the Luberon and Alpilles.

Local points of interest from Olivier & Laurence:
Punti d'interesse locali da
Olivier & Laurence:
- We are living in an historic 17th century building which used to be the house of the Companions of Jesus. It has been recently restored and is now a B&B with 5 independent bedrooms, each with its bathroom.
- Our house is located in the heart of the medieval city of Avignon, walking distance from the Pope's Palace and the famous old Pont d'Avignon.
- Although in the heart of the city, we have a lovely garden and a swimming pool hidden at the back of the garden.
- The Jardins de Baracane are often described as an oasis in the city. Indeed we are located in a narrow street, not accessible by car, meaning absolutely no noise once at home.
- Avignon is the heart of Provence, ideally located to explore other cities such as Arles, Nîmes or Aix en Provence, by car, by train or with a guided tour.
- If you prefer small typical villages, you can in less than an hour go to the Luberon to visit Gordes, Lacoste, Bonnieux or Roussillon or Les Alpilles to visit, Saint Rémy de Provence or Les Baux de Provence. You can also easily go to wild Camargue.
