The estate
Across 12 acres above the Durance valley, every part of your stay has its own backdrop: the ceremony, the drinks, the dinner, the party, and the brunch the morning after.
The spirit of the place
Le Mas des Cinq Fontaines overlooks the Durance valley, with a panoramic view of the citadel of Sisteron, fortified by Vauban.
Its landscaped grounds live to the sound of running water from the fountains. Lavender, rosemary, savory, thyme, cypress and century-old olive trees scent the air: a setting that invites calm, for you and your guests alike.
Between the Luberon and the Alps, the medieval town of Sisteron and its shops are just a stone’s throw away, and Marseille Provence airport and the Aix-en-Provence TGV station about an hour’s drive.
The six spaces of the estate
They are all yours during your stay. You choose where each moment takes place.
Dinner and dancing
A glass orangery whose roof opens completely at the touch of a remote control: you dine under the open sky, surrounded by greenery. If rain drops by, it closes and becomes fully watertight. Nothing can spoil the party.
Designed like a Provençal village square, with its fountain, stone columns and wrought-iron mezzanine, it opens onto the dance floor.
The ceremony, the welcome dinner
200 m² (2,150 sq ft) beneath century-old plane trees, at the foot of the 17th-century house. By day, its cool shade hosts summer ceremonies and the next morning’s brunch.
At nightfall, under a canopy of lights, it becomes the magical setting for your welcome dinner or drinks reception.
Drinks, brunch
A superb bar by the swimming pool for your drinks reception. Around the pool, you can set up lounges, your caterer’s food stations or live musicians, for an atmosphere that feels like you.
The next day, it’s time for brunch… and a swim with your guests.
Your photos
Beds of lavender planted across the estate, around a sculpture called “the driftwood heart”. In bloom from June, they give your photos the most Provençal of backdrops, right through to early autumn.
A lakeside ceremony
The estate’s newest addition: a jetty floating on the water, for a romantic and original ceremony. It can even hold a grand piano and its musicians.
For your photos, a breathtaking panoramic view over the Durance valley.

Welcoming your guests
This is the first place your guests discover. In the shade of tall trees, a glass of orangeade, lemonade or iced tea welcomes them. The perfect setting for your group photos.
And since this is Provence, a pétanque court awaits you just below.
Around the Mas
Are your guests arriving a few days early, or staying on after the party? The finest landscapes of Provence and the Southern Alps are close by.
