Ten minutes walk from Gordes village, Le Clos de Manon opens its green shutters onto an enclosed garden and a heated pool facing the Luberon countryside.
Le Clos de Manon opens its green shutters ten minutes walk from Gordes village, Route de Murs, at the heart of the Luberon. A stone house, a walled garden in open country, a soft lawn, and a private heated pool, swimmable May through September. The whole villa, just for you, for the length of a true Provençal pause.
Two bright bedrooms, two bathrooms, an open-plan living room and kitchen flowing out to the pergola-shaded terrace, and, at the bottom of the garden, the signature of the place: an authentic dry-stone borie, a traditional Luberon hut turned into an independent studio for two. Sénanque Abbey is 4 km away; Roussillon, L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue and Ménerbes within reach of a morning.
High-end amenities, attentive service, and that refined simplicity which gives the most beautiful Provençal homes their charm.
A private heated pool, at the heart of the enclosed garden. Surrounded by lawn and loungers, with views over the Luberon countryside.
A private garden with terrace, pergola and barbecue. Meals are taken outdoors, in the shade, at the slow rhythm of Provençal afternoons.
Two comfortable bedrooms opening onto the garden, two bathrooms, a living room with open kitchen and flat-screen TV.
At the bottom of the garden, an authentic dry-stone borie, a traditional Luberon hut, converted into a studio for two. A night like nowhere else.
Kitchen open onto the living room, with oven, dishwasher and everything needed to prepare local market produce in complete autonomy.
Free fibre Wi-Fi, private gated parking, reversible air conditioning, fully equipped kitchen, everything is provided, nothing missing.
Every room, every corner of the garden was conceived as a scene. Let yourself be carried.

Terrace & pergolaHotel-grade bed linen, furniture worn in by the seasons, natural light in every room. Every thing was chosen to last, and to give you that rare feeling of inhabiting a place, not just passing through.
A quiet refinement, as Provence has always thought of it: without ostentation, with care.
Gordes, listed among the most beautiful villages in France, is your starting point. A few minutes away: Sénanque Abbey, Roussillon, Les Baux-de-Provence, and that countryside painted by Cézanne, given freely to walkers and wanderers.
Twenty years ago I put down my bags in Gordes, twenty years learning the light of the Luberon, sensing the precise moment when the lavender will bloom, getting to know the baker who makes the best fougasse in the village. Le Clos de Manon was born from that love.
I wanted to open this house the way you open your door to a friend: with care, without intermediaries, and willingly sharing the addresses one usually keeps to oneself. I reply personally, by phone, WhatsApp or email, and remain reachable throughout your stay.
When you arrive, the essentials will already be done: shutters open, pool heated, a note left on the table with my recommendations for the first days. For the rest, the time is yours.
A personal selection of tables, producers, markets and walks, tested, approved, shared.
One of the smallest tables in the village, tucked on Rue des Tracapelles. Home-cooked menu changing monthly, with two seats on a balcony offering an extraordinary view over the Luberon. Booking essential.
Gourmet table in a 5★ palace with panoramic views over the Luberon. For special evenings.
Every Tuesday morning, Place du Château. Olive oil, honey, tapenade, cheeses, Provençal fabrics. One of the most picturesque in the Vaucluse.
European antiques capital. Sunday morning is the liveliest market in the Luberon: antique dealers, producers and treasure hunters.
In Ménerbes, a family estate at the heart of the Luberon. Tastings, cellar tours and corkscrew museum.
12th-century Cistercian abbey, surrounded by lavender fields from mid-June to mid-July. Guided tour recommended. Our full guide →

Every month in the Luberon has its beauty. Here are the ones we love most to share with you.
Une maison comme on en rêve. La piscine au petit matin, l'abbaye toute proche, et cette borie au fond du jardin qui nous a rappelé ce qu'est la Provence, la vraie.
Tout a été pensé avec goût, rien n'est laissé au hasard. Les enfants ont adoré la borie, nous la piscine chauffée dès mai. Jean-François a été d'une attention rare, chaque adresse qu'il nous a recommandée s'est révélée mémorable.
We came for a week and almost stayed for two. The garden, the stone, the silence, and Sénanque a short walk away. A rare, honest place.
Wir haben viele Provence-Häuser gemietet, Le Clos de Manon ist eines der schönsten. Tadellos gepflegt, ruhig, mit einem Gastgeber, der seine Region liebt und großzügig teilt.
La Provenza dei nostri sogni. La piscina riscaldata anche a maggio, i tramonti dalla pergola, e i consigli preziosi di Jean-François per scoprire i borghi del Luberon. Torneremo.
Nous sommes venus à six, quatre dans la villa, deux dans la borie. Cette dernière a été le coup de cœur de nos enfants, qui en parlent encore. La piscine, le jardin, la cuisine ouverte où l'on prépare les courses du marché de L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue : tout y est. Une semaine à Gordes qu'on n'oubliera pas.
Our first time in Provence and we couldn't have picked a better place. Jean-François met us at the gate, walked us through the house, and left us with a list of his favorite spots, every one a hit. The lavender at Sénanque was at its peak. Already planning a return.
Je suis venue seule pour écrire pendant dix jours. Le silence du jardin, le chant des cigales, la lumière du soir sur les pierres, j'ai trouvé exactement ce que je cherchais. Et un hôte d'une grande délicatesse.
Heated pool in October. A walk down to Sénanque. Markets every morning. A perfect Provençal week.
Una casa con alma. La cocina abierta, la pérgola para las cenas, los detalles cuidados, y un anfitrión que conoce su Luberon como nadie. Lo recomendamos sin reservas.
