Favorite:the Village Club Pierre &Vacances Pont-Royal in Provence

Where exactly is it?

In Mallemort (Bouches du Rhône), between Avignon and Aix en Provence, at the foot of the Luberon.

Why do we love?

Petanque games here and there, lively restaurant terraces under the plane trees, numerous small squares topped by a bell tower... As soon as you arrive, you are immersed in the atmosphere of a "real" Provençal village, completely forgetting that the site was created from scratch. Above all, we appreciate the calm of the streets without any cars (they sleep in the underground car park) and the superb, varied, omnipresent vegetation. With 180 hectares of nature, we have enough to go green...

What do we do?

Take advantage of the magnificent aquatic area with its two heated swimming pools including a 900 m2 wave pool, its wild river, its giant slides... You can also go pedaloing on the Pont-Royal lake, play golf, try archery l'arc, horseback riding thanks to the integrated equestrian centre... It's impossible to get bored here, whether you come as a couple or as a family. And of course, we take the opportunity to explore the surroundings, from the nearby flowery village of Mallemort to the famous Baux de Provence.

Where do we eat?

You can cook yourself in your apartment or take advantage of the restaurants in the village (Les Tilleuls, the Café des Arts, etc.) occasionally or daily with half board.
