The “Hôtel Particulier”

An hôtel particulier is above all an exceptional urban residence — typically located in the heart of the city and designed as a private mansion.
It combines architectural grandeur, refined details, and intimate comfort.
These distinguished homes are characterized by generous interiors and prestigious reception rooms.
Today, the hôtel particulier embodies a timeless vision of luxury and exclusivity in an urban setting.

“The Bastide”

The Provençal bastide is the quintessential country house of the Aix region, embodying both timeless charm and the Mediterranean art of living.
Built between the 17th and 19th centuries, it is distinguished by its balanced, functional architecture — often featuring symmetrical façades, traditional canal-tile roofs, and colorful shutters that add warmth and character beneath a four-sided roof.
Surrounded by olive groves, vineyards, or fragrant gardens, the bastide was designed to stay cool in summer while capturing the natural light.
It represents a perfect harmony of comfort, simplicity, and understated elegance.

“The Mas”

The Provençal mas was originally a working farmhouse, reflecting rustic simplicity and authenticity.
Built from local stone, it features a solid, functional architecture with natural-toned façades, small openings to shield from the summer heat, and traditional canal-tile roofs weathered by time.
Typically facing south, the mas opens onto an inner courtyard or garden often shaded by plane trees, surrounded by olive trees or lavender.
Today, when carefully restored, it offers a serene living environment where history and modern comfort coexist in perfect harmony.
