Where (exactly) are we?Ancient cities and sleepy villages... bustling markets and wild countryside... lavender and sunflowers... Romans and Popes... connoisseurs and artists... Mas des Grand’ Terres is situated 8km south of Avignon and 12 km north of St-Remy-de-Provence. This is the Provence of the Romans and the 14th Century Popes, of Côtes du Rhone wines, of ancient "villages perchés", colourful sprawling markets, wild flowers and herbs, stunning scenery and, of course, good food.
