La Fesniere: a nice house in southern France, in Luberon, close to Aix en Provence
Our house is located at the foot of the Luberon, between sea and mountains.
The house is part of an old Priory, with a beautiful slate tower, which houses 5 accommodations. The inhabitants have access to a common park, with trees and a 6x12m swimming pool. Each accommodation has a private garden. In ours, there is a small vegetable garden, an outdoor table and deckchairs, bicycles that you can borrow, a sandpit. The neighbors are very friendly!
A small staircase leads to a balcony and the entrance to the house. The rooms are spread over two levels. The first floor with the living room and the kitchen, a pantry, our bedroom and a bathroom. The second floor contains two bedrooms, that of Soren (6 years old) and Mélisse (14 years old), an office, a second bathroom, and a covered terrace (loggia) facing south. Of course you will find internet, Netflix and even a video projector.
Our accommodation is located in Pertuis, a small town 20 minutes from Aix-en-Provence (also served by regular buses), and 40 minutes from Marseille airport. In the region, you will discover Aix-en-Provence and Arles, two Roman cities, or even Marseille, a 2,600-year-old territory. For nature lovers, the Gorges du Verdon, the Luberon Regional Park or the Calanques National Park are to be discovered. It will also be an opportunity to explore the surrounding villages: Lourmarin, Cucuron, Gordes, and their Provençal markets. You can also taste many local wines, organic, white or red, or rosé (to drink very fresh).
We have a cat and plants in the garden to take care of (we have automatic watering, but not everywhere, and the summer can be very dry). The swimming pool is shared with our neighbours, with respect for others and good humor. We have at your disposal plenty of good addresses and circuits, according to your desires and your tastes. We also have a studio, long rented in AirBNB, which gave us a taste for hospitality and to meet people from all countries! This is why we are starting today on the adventure of Home Exchange, and will be pleased to discuss with you.

Our Neighbourhood
Nearest Airport: Marseille - 40 minutes
Notre Dame des Anges is a former priory, which now houses 6 accommodations. One is empty right now. There are 3 studios and 2 apartments, and each has a private garden. Everyone gets along very well: we maintain the park and the pool together, and we help each other as much as possible.
At 300m there is a very well supplied supermarket, and the town center is at 1 km. Many activities take place there in the summer, as well as in the surrounding villages (festivals, fireworks, concerts, markets, etc.)
