Situation
The Mas des Grès, in Lagnes, is a charming hotel in an old Provençal farmhouse, which dates back more than 200 years, and which has been perfectly restored by local craftsmen. It inspires calm and tranquillity.
Each room is decorated differently, using Provençal materials and furniture found at nearby flea markets. Each room has TV, air-conditioning, a hair-dryer, and can accommodate families.
Guests can discover the tastes and aromas of the owner’s Mediterranean cuisine in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, from breakfast to dinner.
Located at the entrance to the Luberon Regional Natural Park near Gordes, Roussillon, L’Isle sur la Sorgue and Fontaine de Vaucluse. A Spa and fitness area, a swimming pool and Provençal cuisine guarantee a stay of pure relaxation.
Many tailor-made stays are offered throughout the year to introduce guests to the local cuisine or the sporting and cultural activities that the region has to offer.
You come to the Mas des Grès as a tourist, but you leave as a friend; it is not somewhere you just pass through, it is a place where you meet people in the heart of the Luberon.
With a reasoned approach and a business ethic that reflects their values, Nina and Thierry welcome you with a smile and rejoice at sharing their knowledge and know-how.

Regional Natural Park
Extending from east to west between the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence and the Vaucluse, the Luberon Regional Natural Park features three “mountains”; the Oriental Luberon, the Grand Luberon and the Petit Luberon. It boasts wonderfully diverse flora and fauna as well as exceptional landscape and architectural heritage.
In December 1997, the Luberon was officially admitted by UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) into the World Network of Biosphere Reserves. In 2004, the Luberon Regional Natural Park was admitted to the UNESCO-supported European and Global Geoparks Network.
The park is rich in geological, natural and cultural heritage, which can be explored on foot or by bike. The Park organises many activities, suitable for all ages.

Location
Olivia Tregaut et Denis Bouniard vous accueillent au sein de leur atelier dans un esprit de convivialité.
Vous pourrez admirer les céramiques utilitaires et décoratives entièrement réalisées à la main de Denis Bouniard dont les émaux lumineux et subtils sont élaborés à partir de de ses recettes personnelles à bases de minéraux, d’oxydes et de cendres végétales donnant aux objets ainsi réalisés des tonalités allant du rouge de fer au bleu de fer.
Les sculptures en grès et en bronze d’Olivia Tregaut vous emmèneront dans un univers d’animaux sauvages à la fois réalistes, tendres et poétiques. Passionnée de nature, en particulier par le vivant et surtout par la faune sauvage, elle se consacre depuis plus de 20 ans maintenant à la sculpture animalière. Toutes ses sculptures en grès sont des pièces uniques et les bronzes des œuvres originales.
Sa volonté est d’être ambassadrice de la beauté du vivant.
Attenant au lieu d’exposition, vous pourrez apprécier l’atelier ouvert et la possibilité de voir travailler et d’échanger avec Denis et Olivia
