La Bastide du Claus - Vitaverde, Thym gîte

We welcome you to our country house, quiet in the hinterland of Provence.

The Bastide du Claus built by a squire of Louis XIV away from the small flowery village of Cruis (labeled Village and City of character) has survived the centuries. Its old stones welcome you under the benevolent shade of its hundred-year-old lime trees. Its 17th century pool fed by the source of the property allows you to refresh yourself.

You are in the heart of Haute Provence, 700 m above sea level at the foot of the Lure mountain, less than 10 km from the Camino de Santiago de Compostela from Rome to Spain in the country of Jean Giono. The gates of the Luberon regional park and its medieval villages, the regional product market of Forcalquier, the citadel of Sisteron and the Durance valley with multiple sporting activities are all within a radius of less than 15 km. The regional park of Baronnies, that of Verdon and the geological natural reserve of Haute Provence await you nearby.
You will leave on foot or by bike from the house to go for a walk or hike (and in winter, on snowshoes or on skis), you will go to visit the picturesque and colorful places in the surroundings, you will read under the old lime trees or else you will do ... nothing at all! Lazing around. Each evening, you will observe the stars in one of the purest skies in Europe prized by astronomers.
La Bastide du Claus is also the ideal place for the organization of your yoga, Qigong, painting, choir rehearsals and for your green business meetings.
