October 3-7 | Starting at $500La Voute Stay. An 18th century hand restored vaulted cellar.
What to ExpectThe Vault
The first room of La Bastide du Magnan to come back to life — an 18th-century vaulted stone cave, transformed into a place to stay.
The story
This is where the renovation story began.
Before it was a place to sleep, it was a silk farm's cellar — cut into stone, built for storage, forgotten for decades. I kept what the room already knew how to do: hold its own temperature, stay cool through the heat of a Gard summer, stay quiet. Everything added — the travertine floor, the raw lime plaster, the black tapware, the aged wood door — was chosen to sit inside that logic rather than fight it.
La Voute is the first of two gîtes planned for La Bastide du Magnan. A concrete vat room, atypical architecture, will follow as a small gallery for the pieces and objects that pass through it.
The room
One vaulted stone bedroom, private courtyard
Travertine floors, raw lime plaster walls, black matte fixtures
Designer open kitchen — induction hob, oven, Nespresso, moka pot
Private shaded courtyard — jute sail, teak table, deckchairs
Sleeps 2 — built for a slow, quiet stay
Reconnect with calm and escape the noise of everyday life.
Arrive & Discover
Let yourself in whenever you arrive — the key waits in a lockbox at the door, code sent ahead of your stay. No fixed check-in time to work around; come late, come straight from the road, and start the evening the moment you walk through.
Check-InFrom 16.00
Day TwoEnjoy a fully fitted kitchen
Everything you need for a proper meal, nothing you don't. electric hob, oven, dishwasher, microwave, fridge, freezer and a Nespresso alongside a stovetop moka pot for the purists — set into a designer open kitchen with bamboo fronts built for the room rather than dropped into it.
Day ThreeSit & Relax
A private courtyard, shaded by a jute sail through the heat of the day. A teak table for two, a deckchair for the hours in between — the kind of stillness that's hard to find once summer fills the village below.
