The Valerians

As soon as you enter, you’ll be charmed by a spacious dining room that opens onto a bright living room. A door leads upstairs, while a hallway guides you to the kitchen, which you pass through to reach the summer dining room. The summer dining room opens directly onto the back of the house, where you’ll find a peaceful patio and a private pool. A half-bath and a utility room round out this inviting ground floor. Upstairs, three spacious, air-conditioned bedrooms await you, along with a shower room with a toilet and an elegant bathroom. For moments of relaxation in complete privacy, a staircase leads you to the rooftop solarium, tucked away on the roof with no neighbors in sight. It offers a panoramic view of the surrounding countryside: ideal for sunbathing or simply taking in the scenery. Facing west, the main terrace promises magical sunsets, perfect for leisurely aperitifs. Private parking in front of the house and a secure garage for bicycles, motorcycles, and equipment add a practical and reassuring touch to your stay. A well-behaved pet is welcome, provided it keeps the property clean and respects the peace and quiet of the property and the neighborhood.

Its stone-faced houses, clustered in a circle around the Church of Saint-Nazaire, give it the appearance of a snail shell—a typically Provençal architecture steeped in history and poetry. A Living Heritage Never subject to feudal rule, Sablet was directly under the authority of the Papacy, which explains the absence of a castle. However, as early as the 14th century, the village protected itself behind a fortified wall, the remains of which tell the story of centuries of resistance. Stroll through its cobblestone alleys in search of the “soustets”—those passageways beneath the houses, with stones weathered by time—and admire the architectural details of each facade. A Literary Soul The “Place Yvan Audouard,” shaded and adorned with a fountain and a washhouse, pays tribute to this journalist and writer, a fervent lover of Sablet. Every July, the village comes alive during the Journées du Livre, welcoming dozens of authors: lectures, exhibitions, and outdoor book-signings invite visitors to explore and engage in conversation. And for lovers of unusual stories: the writer Jean Raspail established the imaginary Consulate of Patagonia here, proclaiming himself “consul” of this fantastical kingdom—a bit of whimsy that adds a touch of humor to local history. Inspiring Nature To the south, the Dentelles de Montmirail rise like a natural sculpture, a favorite spot for hikers and climbers. Nearby, the villages of Gigondas and Séguret offer majestic panoramic views and numerous wineries where you can taste the wines of the “Côtes-du-Rhône.” Just a few kilometers away, the ancient town of Vaison-la-Romaine reveals its magnificent ruins, while the legendary Mont Ventoux—the giant of Provence and an iconic challenge for cyclists—awaits you with its breathtaking views. Whether you’re a history buff, a wine lover, a contemplative hiker, a cyclist, or a fan of the Provençal light, the Sablet region offers a rare diversity of landscapes and experiences. Juicy fruits, full-bodied wines, picturesque villages, and a gentle atmosphere… Everything comes together at the “Les Valérianes” cottage for an unforgettable stay in Provence.
