_ Welcome in Forcalquier, welcome to the 'Terrasses' _

Once the capital of the region of Provence,

the medieval village of Forcalquier

has retained all its rural authenticity boasting a 12th century cathedral

beautiful winding roads and provincial squares and its 16th century

windmill for pressing olive oil.

 Sitting on top of the hill on which Forcalquier is built is the Citadel – today, its chapel built in honour of Our Lady of Provence overlooks the town’s inhabitants. Beside the chapel is something of a curiosity - the traditional church bell. This bell is rung every Sunday morning at about 11.30 by the local bell ringer allowing everybody to profit from its traditionals and “provencales” melodies.

We offer charming and high quality accommodation, perfect for visiting

this lovely town and to discover the picturesque regions

of the Lubéron and Haute Provence.

The TERRASSES was designed by a local architect according to the respect

of environment – passive solar architecture, so that despite being very modern,

the building also fits perfectly into the marvellous scenery, and so that

it would be as luminous as possible, sitting in a South facing location.

You can relax in the shade of the trees in the garden,

or if you prefer the sun, on the teak decking beside the pool.

And when you tire of all that lounging around, you can take a dip in the

blue lagoon water of the swimming pool

(which is cleaned using a biological UV treatment – no chlorine).

We offer the choice of either a villa or guest-room accommodation.
