Welcome to Maison des Pelerins ~ la Baume des Pelerins & La Maison du Cardinal, in the heart of Sablet Village -
three Dream Vacation Rental Homes in Provence
These three properties together, made up a majority of the functioning complex of buildings owned by the Church in Sablet, during the French Papal Era
Maison des Pelerins is perched at the top of the traditional Village of Sablet in Provence, its entry right next door to the 12th Century Romanesque Church of St. Nazaire ....
.......it is likely (from the appearance) that the oldest part of these houses date back to a similar time and were once associated with the Papal Residence (during the time that the Popes administered the Church from Avignon), and accommodations for pilgrims and visitors to the area.
La Baume des Pelerins is the same building as Maison des Pelerins but its entry is on Grande Rue.
The interiors of both Maison des Pelerins and la Baume des Pelerins have been completely renovated - these houses provide an experience that is a dream of living in a small village in Provence!
Masion du Cardinal is a grand home which it is thought was once the home of the Papal Vice Legat
Maison du Cardinal has been exquisitely renovated with a great deal of care taken to preserve the history and status of this property in the Comtat Venaissin
On a warm summer morning, wake up to the church bells and the aroma of fresh bread baking at the Boulangerie below. Take two minutes to walk down to the Sablet Village Shops for your fresh bread and croissants for breakfast, which you can enjoy in the coutryard, by the fountain at Maision des Pelerins (pictured above), or in the cool freshness of the "baume" (pictured below) at La Baume des Pelerins.
