Directions
Please be aware that for the privacy of our guests, we intentionally decided not to have any signs at the entrance of our driveway.
If you are coming from the A7 motorway, take the Orange Sud exit (#22) and follow the signs towards Avignon. Afterward, make a left turn onto the D950 road towards Vaison-la-Romaine & Carpentras. Disregard the first sign for Jonquières and continue on the D950. When you reach a roundabout, follow the sign for Jonquières and just before entering the village, make a right turn into the driveway of the Mas, called "Chemin de l'Escarrat". This driveway is located immediately after passing the Sotalis company, approximately 1 kilometer after the roundabout.
If you are coming from Orange, drive through the village of Jonquières in the direction of Carpentras (Avenue de la Libération). As you approach the exit of the village, turn left into a driveway that is bordered by the walls of the Sotalis company. At the entrance of the road, there will be a "dead end road sign". The Mas is located approximately 400 meters along this driveway.
