Accommodation (click on pictures to enlarge)

L'Atelier from the main part of the garden and its front door , the bedroom

... and the salon

Larbi's The track in front of L'Atelier and Larbi's leads only to our house and your parking space, nowhere else, so most of the "traffic" on it will be you!

Lou Galinié

The "front door" is on the north side of the building which, typical of old houses in Provence, has few openings because of the mistral, so belies the interior:

the living room ;

the double bedroom ;

the two twin bedrooms .

Our house - well we actually live in this one ,

but are restoring this one , which is just beside it.

Beaches (click on pictures to enlarge)

A quiet beach in mid-summer not far from the mas,

but to get there you cross our official nudist beach (free) where you may well be offered tea by the amiably eccentric naturist, Marcel . Further along you can get away from it all . Closer to Mas d'Auphan the beach is conventional (wear at least something!), but there is still plenty of space for all .

Beauduc offers contrasts, from its odd cabin culture to kitesurfing to

. . . solitude
