THE SPLENDOR OF PROVENCE AT 'La Galéjade'
La Galéjade lies at the foot of panoramic Mount Saint Victoire in the countryside of Rousset, close to Aix en Provence in France. Here, nestled in amongst the vines and fields of sunflowers, the property is surrounded with the best of Provence's natural beauty. Feast your eyes on the scenery Cezanne captured in his paintings many years ago. Spend glorious afternoons lounging by the pool, or sitting beneath the shade of our stately pines.
Enjoy Provencal weather strolling or cycling in countryside lanes, or play a game of petanque, volleyball or ping-pong. Pick fresh fruits to devour from 'La Galéjade's own trees, and partake in the ritual of an aperitif on your own private terrace. Indulge in tranquility and experience life here in the south of France.
With so much to entice you, you may be tempted not to leave the grounds at all, but then you wouldn't be taking advantage of 'La Galéjade's' proximity to the best Provence has to offer.
