Once through the electric gate, you leave the village to follow the path which goes up towards the house and a double carport. The view is already starting to clear, a few steps and you arrive on the huge covered terrace. A first garden furniture under the kitchen windows, where while waiting for meal time you can enjoy the aromas of Provençal cuisine: thyme, chives, rosemary... Further on, a second relaxation area made up of 2 sofas which can be facing extends the living room of the house towards the outside, you can sit there for a little nap in the shade or to enjoy the sunset over Haute-Provence. For meals, two large tables: one in the shade for lunchtime, and one in the sun when it gets milder. Before entering the house, turn around to enjoy the exceptional view of the countryside and the lavender fields. Over 180 degrees the beauty of the Alpes de Haute-Provence spreads out before you. The Provençal decoration and quality materials show the care that the owners have put into this house. Far from the bohemian spirit, this house is above all comfortable and welcoming, the three large suites offer everyone a private space, important when you go with several people. And if that's not enough there's even a large studio with kitchen area at pool level for those who need more independence, a teenager, staff, a lucky friend. The 11mx5m swimming pool invites you to swim and play, while the equipped beaches partially covered with arbors offer an ideal setting for relaxing while watching the children. At your disposal around the swimming pool: 8 deckchairs under the arbors, a lounge under the trees, a table on the studio terrace to play, and a solar shower to delay the time of going home. The house in a 6000 m2 park planted with century-old olive trees is in the center of the village and yet not overlooked.  Its dominant position on the heights of the village of Saint Michel l'Observatoire makes it a magical place removed from time. The site has been chosen by astronomers for decades for the quality of its sky; several star observation domes have been built to the north of the village. In summer they welcome a public keen on discoveries; it's not every day that you can look through a telescope while listening to the explanations of a professional. The house and its vast garden will seduce you with their quality of services, their tranquility and their exceptional position overlooking the Provence of Giono. Like most vacationers who stay at this property, you will definitely return.
