Absolutely stunning property. We visited in June and the pool surrounded by Cypress trees is perfection. The location is within walking distance to a number of restaurants. It felt like a true Provencal experience. We would definitely stay again.

Great house and all around. We spent 2 weeks in this magnificent house. The house has a soul and spirit. This is not a any house for vacation, this is a great house to stay in. The house, the terrasse, the garden and the pool are all there for a relaxing stay. Even under high temperature, the house stays naturally cool. Peter has connected with us personnally. This was much appreciated. Highly recommended.

Mas très agréable dans un charmant village

Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour au Mas du Vieux Charron. Le jardin est magnifique, bien entretenu, et la piscine très appréciée en ces temps de canicule. La maison est idéalement située, à deux pas du village Le Paradou et de ses commerces (un Spar, une boulangerie, boucherie, marché tous les mardis...), proche de Maussane et de Saint-Rémy de Provence. Mention spéciale pour la cuisine qui est très bien équipée, nous en avons beaucoup profité. Un Mas avec beaucoup de charme et de caractère. Nous ne manquerons pas d'y revenir!

Zauberhaftes Landhaus mit großem Pool und gepflegten Garten in schöner Umgebung

Le Mas du Vieux Charron ist ein charmantes Landhaus mit viel Geschichte in einem kleinen Dorf in der Provence. Wir verbrachten dort einen entspannten Familienurlaub und genossen nach Ausflügen in die Region die Zeit am Pool und im Garten. Sehr empfehlenswert.

Wonderful !

I hardly ever write reviews - but this was wonderful. Great location. Easy to walk to town and at the same time very close to great historical sites. We loved the decor and the gardens and pool were simply beautiful. We will be back ! I would highly recommend.

A Gem of a House in a Great Location

The Mas du Vieux Charron is a gem. It is rare to find a house in the middle of a busy village that is also so private: twenty-foot cedar hedges shield the large garden and the magnificent pool from the road and from the neighbors. The house is charming and full of historical interest. Once the home of the village cartwright (charron), it was restored by the great violinist Alexander Schneider (the music room was formerly the cartwright’s workshop). The current owners have kept many souvenirs of Schneider’s life in the house while installing many upgrades, including a kitchen equipped for serious cooks, Bosch and Viking appliances, air conditioning in one bedroom, and a ceiling fan in the other. All the windows and the kitchen doors are screened to keep flies and mosquitos out, which is very unusual in France. The housekeeper speaks some English and turned the house over to us in immaculate shape. The center of the village (less than five minutes away on foot) has an excellent bakery, a butcher shop that sells high quality meats and prepared foods, and a small general store that provides most other necessities. Paradou also has a marvelous (and famous) bistrot as well as a couple of other nice restaurants. The neighboring village of Maussane-les-Alpilles has several other very good places to eat at a variety of price points. The owner of the house provided a lot of detailed information about the house, the village, and the surrounding area which we appreciated very much. We would be delighted to return for another holiday.

Paradise

We’ve been visiting here on and off for years. It’s a beatiful place inside and out. The decor is amazing. When we visit we really don’t feel there are many other places to visit.

September at the Mas du Vieux Charron

Our family of five spend an idyllic week at the Mas du Vieux Charron; a delightful experience in every way! Every aspect was beautiful and even better than the pictures-- the comfort and design of each room, the artwork and music collection, the well-supplied kitchen, the garden and pool. The owner was very helpful, and our arrival and departure went smoothly. The property was well maintained, inside and out. We loved the bikes and helmets! The huge music room and sound system was fabulous! Cooking meals was a great pleasure. The village of Paradou is one of our favorites in all of France, and we walked and biked in all directions. We hope to be back for another taste of paradise at this beautiful mas.

True Provençal living-- tranquility

We visited during beautiful Spring weather. Phenomenal and authentic property situated in a very small village which is proximal to many key sites in Provence. Excellent base from which to explore the surrounding olive groves, wineries and town markets. The home is exquisitely peaceful and conducive to relaxation and preparing wonderful meals to be enjoyed in the dining room, kitchen or garden. Lovely pool and courtyard, walk to patisserie, boulangerie and local organic markets. This is a truly memorable experience.

Absolutely fantastic place

Everything about this wonderful place was perfect. I wish I could buy it and move there. Any question you would ask I could asnwer affirmatively. You can call me at 601-713-4156 and I will tell you anything you want to know. I have stayed there two summers and will be there this summer 2011 and next summer. If you want to beat me to it you will have to rent it two years in advance!

A Great Week in Provence

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Mas du Vieux Charron. The home and setting fit beautifully in the quaint little village of Le Paradou. We loved the proximity to the markets and relaxing by the pool while enjoying the local food and wine. It was great to be able to walk to boulangerie every morning and we loved dining at the house as well as the surrounding restaurants. The kitchen is well-equipped and the Viking stove is a plus. The owner was very accommodating and provided lots of information about the surrounding villages and markets. You couldn't pick a better locale.

A wonderful week in le Paradou

A delightful house in a beautiful part of France. Our family of five thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Mas du Vieux Charron. The house is charming with an excellent kitchen and a wonderful garden and pool. Located within driving distance to so many sights, our week stay was not nearly long enough. The garden was beautifully maintained. Indeed, if we had not been so keen to explore Provence, we could have spent a very relaxing week eating "al fresco" in the garden and swimming in the sparkling pool. Peter, a very attentive owner, provided us with valuable information about the surrounding area, the market days for each village and local restaurant recommendations.

A wonderful resting place

We have rented this home for 17 years in a row. If that is not an endorsement I do not not know what is. It is charming and comfortable. The location is superb, close to towns and cities but in a quiet town itself. The pool is our haven after long travel days and the kitchen has all we desire for meals (usually simple ones given the fresh food that is readily available at local markets and the excellent Bistrot du Paradou located up the road - also highly recommended). Peter provides an excellent guide to everything that is around and it is very useful for the new arriviste in the neighborhood. Enjoy.

Unique house in the heart of Provence!

We are an anglo- french family with 3 children and enjoy coming to Le Paradou as much as we can! We spent two summers there and had kept an excellent memory of our stays: the house is beautifuly decorated in a provencal style with personal touches from the owners ( music, painting, photography) and the swiming pool is very agreable at any moment... The area is perfect for tourism ( this is probably the best spot in Provence!) and for those who love cooking (as myself) the markets and the products are just marvellous!
