THE HOUSE
Inspired by the architectural style of the region’s Provençal farmhouses, this 300-square-meter architect-designed home features a north facade with minimal openings and a south facade that opens widely to the outdoors via a 20-square-meter glass roof, illuminating a two-level interior garden that serves as a living room.
The garden-level floor (see floor plan), which is very bright and centered around the interior garden and its glass roof, primarily consists of the living areas grouped together in a single open space, including:
The kitchen, which opens onto the dining room with an adjoining pantry (refrigerator, chest-style freezer, oven,
microwave, range hood, wall-mounted oven, dishwasher).
The laundry room (washing machine, dryer).
A complete audio-video system (large-screen plasma TV with satellite dish, stereo system, and CD/DVD player)
A bedroom (140x190 bed) with its own shower room
The shaded pergola (covered with kiwi vines and grapevines), the main gathering place in summer, can accommodate eight to ten people around its large table.
On the first floor (see floor plan), a master bedroom (140x190 bed) with its own bathroom (bathtub and shower, toilet, bidet)
and three bedrooms (2 with 120x190 beds and one with a 140x190 bed), each served by a bathroom and a toilet
In the basement, there is a two-car garage as well as off-limits utility rooms.
Outdoor parking on terraced grounds for several cars.
The 10m x 5m pool, with access steps, is equipped with a safety barrier and, upon request, a fall detector, an automatic Polaris pool cleaner

THE GARDEN
shaded and equipped with a zip line, swing, trampoline, and often the chance to collect eggs from our two hens and hear the cooing of the pigeons
THE SURROUNDINGS
At the end of a private road that winds up a wooded hill covering 14,000 m², far from the noise, the house overlooks the Huveaune Valley, 800 meters from the center of the village of Auriol.
IN AURIOL: 2 markets per week and all kinds of shops
Tree-top adventure course, tennis, and the wonderful Encanaux site
In the heart of coastal Provence, near Aubagne and the Garlaban—dear to Pagnol’s heart,
.
Between ten and thirty minutes via the highway:
The Aubagne market, held three times a week
The Old Port of Marseille: access to the Château d’If by speedboat.
The pedestrian streets of the old town of Aix-en-Provence, where it’s lovely to stroll in the evening.
Cassis, a charming little port with its restaurants, the starting point for excursions into the Calanques on foot or by speedboat.
Le Castellet, a medieval village with winding alleyways, and La Cadière d’Azur, so quintessentially Provençal, right across the way.
The unjustly overlooked vineyards of Bandol. Three golf courses, tennis clubs, several beaches, and sailing and diving centers.
All around in the hills, hiking trails: the Calanques, Sainte Baume, Garlaban, Sainte Victoire, and others
