This saffron-producing farm stay is currently unreachable by vehicle, and the described routes no longer exist. The original offer was €20 per night, with a peaceful setting, a magnificent view and saffron-based culinary tastings. Access was previously described as a steep, stony 100-meter track followed by 1.3 km of smoother track.

After an unforeseen problem, we contacted Yannick at 7:30 p.m., and he received us at 8:30 p.m. despite the darkness. We settled in and spent an excellent night in incredible peace. In the morning, when we opened the windows, we discovered a magnificent view of Sainte-Victoire. An isolated spot on top of a hill, with a steep access road, but our 7.4-meter motorhome made it up.Translating
Yannick welcomed us in the countryside, just as we like it, with a magnificent view of Sainte-Victoire mountain and the snow-covered Alps in the distance. The path to the platform is initially surprising, but a van can climb it without difficulty. The sunrise was beautiful this morning. We met a herd of goats on the way back down. Do not hesitate—beautiful spot!Translating
Unfortunately, the pitch cannot be reached by van, only by an off-road vehicle. Neither of the routes listed by Google or here is passable; both lead into an area blocked by a fence and a 'Private Property' sign. Turning around is almost impossible for a small van.Translating
Beautiful and idyllic place! Incredible view and absolute peace!! Regarding access: as described, do not take the road ending in a dead end. Drive past it and take the next road up on the right, by the mailboxes. Then ignore Google. On the gravel road, turn right up the steeper hill and do not continue straight; if you reach a house, turn around.Translating
A very special place, in the middle of the forest and nature, with a breathtaking view. Yannick, the host, is a wonderful, warm-hearted and hospitable person, and we had a fantastic evening with his delicious food and lots of laughter. We will definitely return. The comment about the mailboxes was helpful; turn right afterward. Google sent us the wrong way.Translating
