Rooms at La Bastide des Templiers

double room All our B&B rooms and apartments are with private bathroom/WC and comfortably furnished with fine and stylish teakwood. Situated on the first floor, they offer a beautiful view on our nature park, the Sainte Baume Massif on the horizon or the roofs of Bras down in the valley. You will like the massive wooden ceiling beams, the warm red Mediterranean terracotta tiles on the floor and in the bathroom and the traditionally lime-coated hand-waxed walls. Like blobs on a painter's palette, each room shines in another color, giving them their unmistakable and typical Provencal character.

The B&B rooms offer 20 square meters and are equipped with a French double bed with bedside tables, wardrobe, chest and table with chairs. Their rates include a generous breakfast for two as well as towels, bed linen, cleaning and taxes. If needed, an additional single bed may be added (supplement 15 €/night).

How to reach B&B La Bastide des Templiers

By car
Bras is a typical Mediterranean village in the heart of "Green Provence". Although situated amidst beautiful woods and vineyards, it is easy and fast to reach, because only 5 miles away from major traffic lines like the motorway A8 and the highway N7 (Aix-en-Provence - Nice), north of Saint-Maximin. Leave in Saint-Maximin (N7 is going through the town / A8 exit # 34) head to city center and follow the signs to Bras (country road D28, 5 miles). In Bras continue to the center until the "Café Nemrod" and after 200 ft. at the plane trees turn left into rue "Emile Combes". Then simply follow our blue signs for another mile to the top of our hill.
GPS coordinates: Lat 43° 28' 33" North, Long 05° 57' 36" East.

By train
By train (TGV high-speed line), your final station is either Marseilles-St.Charles or Aix-en-Provence/TGV (both about 40 miles from us). Several car rentals are available there. If you prefer taking a bus instead, it is best to get off the train in Marseilles-St.Charles as the bus stop is right next to the train station (whereas in Aix/TGV which is outside town, you would first have to take a shuttle to the central bus station). We also offer a pick-up service directly from Marseilles or Aix/TGV train station (provided availability of our minibus) at 65 € from Aix / 70 € from Marseilles (per trip).

By airplane
International Airports are Marseilles Provence (about 45 miles from us) and Nice-Cote d'Azur (about 85 miles). All major car rental agencies are available there as well as an interregional bus line to Saint-Maximin where our minibus may pick you up. We also offer an airport pick-up service (provided availability of our minibus) at 140 € from Nice / 75 € from Marseilles (per trip).
