About this property

L'Instant Bleu,Provence, pool, peaceful natural setting, 8p, Lake Carcès

Nestled between the sea and the Gorges du Verdon, L'INSTANT BLEU is located in a natural setting, surrounded by pine trees, perched on a hill with a sweeping view of the hills, the historic village of Carcés, and its medieval streets!

Since our first vacation rental (Mas les Heures Bleues) has become so popular, we invite you to discover L'Instant Bleu.
We look forward to welcoming you this year with a special rate.

You’re less than an hour from the sea (the beaches of Sainte-Maxime, Saint-Raphaël, and Saint-Tropez) and less than an hour from Lake Sainte-Croix and the Verdon Gorges. You’re at the foot of one of the GR trails to Santiago de Compostela (the Chemin des Pièces). Just 3 km away, you can rent bikes or go on canoe trips (with Natur Evasion).

L’Instant Bleu offers 4 bedrooms and sleeps 8, spread over 100 m² of living space and a 2,500 m² garden with a view. A private heated 8x4 pool surrounded by greenery, ideal for family or group stays. A spa for 5 people can be reserved (except in July and August).

The cottage is fully equipped, and the main rooms are air-conditioned. Garden furniture, barbecue, indoor and outdoor dining areas, lounge chairs, ice maker...

For a relaxing stay, sheets and towels are included in the price.

You’re just 5 minutes from Lake Carces, 45 minutes from the Gorges du Verdon, and 50 minutes from the sea, Saint-Raphaël, Fréjus, and Saint-Tropez.

Lake Carces offers fishing (second category), canoeing is available 3 km away, and rock climbing.

Numerous hiking trails.
Just 3 km away, Natur Evasion offers canoeing and kayaking tours.

You’re close to must-see villages in historic Provence (Cotignac, Tourtour, Aups, Entrecastreaux, Lorgues...) and the Thoronet Abbey (guided tour). The beaches of Saint-Maximin, Saint-Tropez, and Fréjus are less than an hour away.
The Gorges du Verdon (Quinson) are 40 minutes away. There, you can book sailing lessons, canoe trips, and electric boats to explore the gorges.

Upon your arrival, we offer a tasting of two wines from local winemakers to support local, short-chain production. If you enjoy these wines, they will be available for purchase directly from the winemakers; they have been selected for their excellent value and flavor.

The location is ideal for stargazing.

We had a fantastic stay at L’Instant Bleu. Celia and Philippe were excellent, welcoming and very helpful hosts. The villa was spacious and very comfortable in a peaceful and beautiful setting and had everything we needed for our stay. The pool was ideal for relaxation in between outings. We loved Carces and the other local villages and the property was an ideal base to explore the riviera coastline and also the spectacular Gorges du Verdon. 10/10
