We had the big luck to stay in this beautiful apartment with our family (2 adults, 2 grown up kids and a dog) and it was nearly perfect! Everything was clean, very nice, completely equipped. The pool area was very lovely, clean and well managed, too. There was a manager available on site, the organisation was perfect.
We highly recommend this apartment, also as the surrounding and the management. We would love to come back!
We began work on converting the Bastide into luxury apartments in early 2007 . We completed the project in mid 2008 . Because of it's age a lot of renovation work was required in order to retain the character of such a beautiful 19th century building . We are very proud of how it has all turned out and we look forward to sharing it with our many happy guests .
For over a century & a half La Bastide des Lavandieres has been a prominent feature in the small village of Canaules . Originally constructed in 1850 it has had a few different & diverse existenses during the intervening years . At various times during the 170 years or so it has been here the building has served the village as both a small hotel , a cafe & during the 50's & 60's - a chique French nightclub . Canaules is now a quiet village but during this period it was actually known as "The Saint-Tropez of the Cevennes" Among some of the high profile personalities who performed there was the French Elvis - Johnny Hallyday who unfortunately passed away at the end of 2017 . He may not be widely known in Ireland or the UK but he had more than 50 years of a career in music & he is still one of France's biggest stars having performed in front of 15 million people & sold in excess of 100 million records - 18 of which were platinum albums . Other famous French singers performed in Canaules also including Jacques Brel , Francoise Hardy & Charles Aznavour .
Canaules is a typical French village - small but full of character . It is close to a number of larger villages & small towns as well as numerous vineyards - many of which welcome visitors . Guests are very welcome to come & visit our friends the Plagne family at the nearby Domaine de la ValliĂšre and also the Chardonnaud family at Domaine les Vieux Foudres . Both vineyards are delighted to welcome our guests for tastings , tours etc .
