About this property

L'Instant Bleu,Provence, pool, peaceful natural setting, 8p, Lake Carcès

Nestled between the sea and the Gorges du Verdon, L'INSTANT BLEU is located in a natural setting, surrounded by pine trees on a hilltop, offering a sweeping view of the hills, the historic village of Carcés, and its medieval streets!

The 8x4 pool is heated during the off-season from May through the end of October. It is fenced and secure.

L’Instant Bleu offers 4 bedrooms and sleeps 8 across 100 m², along with a fully equipped kitchen, a bathroom, a laundry room, and 2 restrooms. Two large, sheltered terraces offer sweeping views of the hills.

In October and during the winter, a 4-person spa can be reserved (excluding June, July, August, and September). Located on a cul-de-sac, the property guarantees a peaceful vacation.

You’re at the foot of one of the Santiago de Compostela pilgrimage routes, 5 minutes from Lake Carcès, 12 minutes from the river beaches of Vallon Sourn (unsupervised swimming), 40 minutes from the “Venice of the South” and its beaches (Port Grimaud), and 30 km from the Sainte-Croix Lake Water Sports Park and the Verdon Gorges. Just 3 km away, you can rent bikes or go on canoe trips (Natur’ Evasion).

For a relaxing stay, sheets and towels are included in the price.

You’re in the heart of historic Provence, home to towns renowned for their architecture (Cotignac, Tourtour, Aups, Entrecastreaux, Lorgues...) and the Thoronet Abbey (guided tour). The beaches of Saint-Maxime, Saint-Tropez, and Fréjus are less than an hour away.

pon your arrival, we invite you to sample two wines from local winemakers—as part of our effort to support local, short-chain production. If you enjoy these wines, they will be available for purchase directly from the winemakers; they have been selected for their excellent value and taste.

The location is ideal for stargazing.

We had a fantastic stay at L’Instant Bleu. Celia and Philippe were excellent, welcoming and very helpful hosts. The villa was spacious and very comfortable in a peaceful and beautiful setting and had everything we needed for our stay. The pool was ideal for relaxation in between outings. We loved Carces and the other local villages and the property was an ideal base to explore the riviera coastline and also the spectacular Gorges du Verdon. 10/10
