Only a short drive away are some of the most picturesque villages in Provence.  Worth mentioning are Les Baux de Provence, the famous fortified village of the XIV century as well as Saint Remy de Provence, where Vincent Van Gogh painted, and where Nostradamus, the middle age visionaries was born.  To the south of the Mas is the 2000-year-old city of Arles, which is famous for Roman baths, an amphitheater, and an arena.  Arles is also the capital of the Camargue region, an area well known for the white wild horse and bullfights.

In addition to sight seeing, this area offer a tremendous opportunity for bicycling, hiking, climbing and of course eating. Wonderful French cuisine and wines can be found in the surrounding towns and villages.  Local wineries welcome visitors all during the year and olive groves that produce the best oil in all of France are abundant in this area.
