Experience the soul and glamour of Provence in a location that provides you with easy access to both the quaint French countryside of medieval villages, vineyards, and olive groves and the sophisticated French Riviera with it’s relaxing beaches and rich culture. Claviers, a medieval hill-top village of 600 people located in the foothills of the French Alps, serves as your gateway to both of these worlds.

Immerse yourself in the daily lives of the Claviersiennes and create your own enjoyable experiences using L'Orac, a six hundred year-old stone “townhouse” or maison de village, as your convenient home base. L'Orac is in the heart of the village and only an hour from the Nice Airport and the French Riviera where you can enjoy the beaches, shopping and culture in Nice, Antibes, Cannes, San Raphael and St. Tropez. The Gorges du Verdon or the “Grand Canyon of France” is only 45 minutes from Claviers – a prime area for sports enthusiasts who like to hike, rock climb, kayak, hang glide, and road and mountain bike.

L'Orac has three main floors, each with its own bathroom, shower and refrigerator. The third floor has a kitchen with a salon and another level above it where there is a bedroom adjoined by a terrace that features a spectacular view of the Esterel Mountains on the Mediterranean coast. There are two single beds and one double bed on the first floor; a single and a double bed on the second floor; and a double bed in the third floor apartment.

The house has WiFi and you can use the phone to call anywhere in the U.S. free of charge.
