La Provence through taste, tradition and landscape
Welcome to Domaine des Plaines, a 62-hectare truffle estate located near Aix-en-Provence, between Mont Sainte-Victoire and the Luberon. Our distinctive accommodations and truffle-focused experiences invite you to discover an authentic, elegant, and unspoiled side of Provence.
A Provençal truffle estate
Across nearly 20 hectares of truffle orchards, we cultivate *Tuber melanosporum*—the famous black truffle of Provence—while respecting natural ecological balances and adhering to certified farming practices.
Our truffle oaks, tended year-round, yield one of the rarest treasures of French gastronomy. During the season—running from December 15 to March 15—visitors can experience truffle hunting with our dogs, discover the secrets of truffle cultivation, and share a unique experience centered on the "black diamond."

Preserved Nature
The 'Grand Site de France' Concors Sainte-Victoire
Surrounded by hills, holm oaks, and *garrigue* scrubland, the Domaine des Plaines is nestled within the Concors Sainte-Victoire 'Grand Site de France'—one of Provence’s most remarkable landscapes.
Trails wind through a protected natural setting where foxes, roe deer, genets, wild boars, eagles, and owls coexist amidst exceptional Mediterranean flora.
From sunrise to nightfall, the estate offers a constant spectacle, set to the rhythm of the seasons, the scent of Provençal herbs, and the song of the cicadas.
Because true luxury is sometimes simply rediscovering silence, space, and the natural world.
Our character homes in Provence
Set within a historic former sheepfold that has been completely transformed and renovated, discover two private villas perfect for a stay with family or friends—each with its own unique character inspired by Provençal heritage, literature, or the landscapes surrounding the estate.
La Maison des Poètes
The 'Maison des Poètes' pays tribute to the writers who celebrated Provence and its landscapes. Spanning 187 m², it features three spacious, air-conditioned bedrooms—each with a private bathroom—including one fully adapted for guests with reduced mobility.
A large, welcoming living room, a fully equipped kitchen, and a terrace opening onto the garden invite you to enjoy relaxing moments at the heart of the Domaine des Plaines, amidst unspoiled nature and the Provençal art of living.
La Maison des Peintres
Inspired by the luminous landscapes that captivated Paul Cézanne and the great Provençal painters, the 'Maison des Peintres' is an elegant home of character designed to welcome families and groups of friends to a truly special setting. Spacious and inviting, with a floor area of 207 m², it features four large, air-conditioned bedrooms—each with an en-suite private bathroom—ensuring comfort and privacy for everyone.
Its light-filled living area, fully equipped kitchen, and terrace extending into a private garden make it the perfect place to gather with family or friends. Nestled in the heart of the estate, it invites you to savor the peace, the gentle pace of life, and the authentic charm of an exceptional stay in Provence.
Unique Accommodation
Sleep in a 15th-century farmhouse: La Métairie
A night out of time
This 15th-century farmhouse has been restored using traditional craftsmanship to preserve its original character and the spirit of the place. Here, modern comforts intentionally give way to the essentials: the beauty of the stone, the silence of the hills, and the timeless rhythm of nature. A rare escape for travelers in search of authenticity.
Full immersion in nature
Surrounded by Provençal forest and landscapes, La Métairie enjoys an exceptional setting facing the Concors massif. At daybreak, the trails invite you to stroll amidst oak trees, wild lavender, and landscapes typical of Provence. At nightfall, the absolute tranquility and starry sky offer an experience that has become rare in our modern world.
Back to basics
With neither running water nor electricity, La Métairie offers an intentionally simple and deeply restorative experience. Bathed in the soft glow of lanterns and paced by the rhythm of the seasons, it invites guests to rediscover simple or forgotten pleasures: reading in peace, sharing a meal, gazing at the stars, or simply listening to the silence.
In the heart of Provence's most beautiful landscapes
Located just 30 minutes from Aix-en-Provence, the Domaine des Plaines enjoys an exceptional setting amidst the Sainte-Victoire mountain, the Luberon, the lavender fields of Valensole, the Calanques of Cassis, and the Gorges du Verdon.
Whether you wish to discover hilltop villages, Provençal markets, renowned vineyards, or hiking trails, our estate serves as the ideal starting point for exploring Provence.
A remarkable historical heritage
Time has left its mark on our Natura 2000-listed estate: an old manor house, a restored sheepfold, a 15th-century farmhouse, dry-stone *bories* (huts), and even the remains of the Roman Traconnade aqueduct all bear witness to a centuries-old history.
To this day, we restore this heritage with the same respect shown by the builders of the past, aiming to pass on a living place where nature, agriculture, and history continue to engage in a dialogue.
