M. Duclos could not have been a better host. We arrived late on a Saturday after all shops had closed and M. Duclos had very kindly bought us milk, bread, butter, home-made marmalade and had made us a wonderful tasting caserole dish and got us a bottle of wine.
The gite was perfect, clean and exactly as shown in the photos. We are quite homely so it was great to be able to prepare and cook our own meals with produce bought from local markets.
I cannot speak highly enough about M. Duclos as owner or the gite itself.
There was so much to do in the area - our longest drive was to Aix-en-Provence but that was only about an hour away. We were only there for a week and there was more than we could have done, markets, old towns, nature - we loved Les Baux de Provence and the parc ornothologique.
We didn't even mind the Mistral.
The only downside were the mosquitoes - this was absolutely our own fault and no reflection on the gite, M. Duclos or the beauty of the region. We had naively thought we would be too far north from the Camargue to be bothered by mosquitoes - bear in mind the time of year you go and take the strongest prevention and after bite creams.
It did mean we could not take full advantage of the beautiful outside area in the evening - but as I say it was our own fault and we were way underprepared.
But - they did not spoil our stay. You could not ask for a lovelier gite or more considerate host than M. Duclos.
