In Forcalquier, our hometown in Provence, we have 4
apartments for holiday rental. They are all located in one
of the nicest streets in the old town, rue Saint Mary – a
charming, cobblestoned street, leading up to a hilltop
park. One of the unique aspects of the location is the
fact that rue Saint Mary is a “cul-de-sac” and extremely
quiet with no traffic noise. However, the main square
with its lovely cafes and restaurants is just around the
corner. It is certainly convenient to be able to wander
down in the evening, have a lovely meal with a bottle of
wine and not have to worry about who is driving!
The apartments have either one or two bedrooms
with separate kitchen, lounge and bathroom. Two of
the apartments can be connected into a three/four
bedroom house - perfect for a large family or a group
of friends They have modern conveniences and have
been decorated in the Provencal style. One of the
apartments has a delightful terrace with stunning views
of the old town and surrounding Provence countryside,
including the French Alps. On top of the hill, overlooking
the old town, is a 19th century chapel set in a wooded
cemetery, marking the site of the former citadel.
In the past, Forcalquier was a favourite residence of the
counts of Provence and an internationally renowned
cultural, political and economic centre.
Today,
Forcalquier hosts one of the liveliest and most colourful
markets in the region.
Here you will find all the produce of the season:
lavender, honey stalls and artists selling their wares.
Wander through the restored old town with its narrow
streets, basking in the middle of rolling luxuriant
scenery and discover the many interesting nearby
sites like the Verdon Gorge or the picturesque
villages in the famous Luberon Valley. Enjoy delicious
provincial cuisine from a variety of excellent local
restaurants.
Drawing workshops can be arranged. Drawing,
watercolour or pastel work indoors with still life or
outdoors with town or landscapes with support and
guidance from English-born, Australian grown, artist
Maria Blakey.
Forcalquier is almost in the heart of Provence and all
major points of interest can be easily visited in a day.
Travelling time to nearby cities - Nice 2 ½ hours, Aixen-
Provence 1 hour, Avignon, Marseille and French
Alps 1½ hours.
We also have a very comfortable 1 bedroom studio
apartment in Provence’s former capital, Aix-en-
Provence. This charming cosmopolitan town is today
a thriving international student centre with some of
France’s best restaurants and bars. The studio is
situated in a very quiet location, only 15 minutes on
foot from the centre of town.
