The living quarters have been meticulously updated to offer modern luxury without sacrificing their historic character. The Mas currently features: * Accommodations: Six spacious suites and two additional bedrooms, designed for comfort and privacy. * Wellness & Spa: A comprehensive wellness wing including a sauna, two hot tubs (jacuzzis), and a dedicated fitness room. * Aquatics: A main swimming pool for summer lounging and two counter-wave pools for athletic training. * Entertainment: A sophisticated lounge bar and a dedicated wine-tasting area, perfect for sampling the region's famous Côtes du Rhône and Languedoc vintages. * Outdoor Leisure: Professional-grade walking paths and a traditional area for la pétanque, the quintessential sport of the South.
