Set just 250m from the heart of the enchanting village of Rustrel, famed for its spectacular ochre cliffs, Le Petit Mas Macon is a beautifully refurbished stone cobblers cottage amidst a cluster of similar buildings.

The property is a perfect Provençal retreat for couples, friends, or a small family looking to experience the authentic charm of a Luberon village house. Behind its traditional stone façade, this lovingly restored village house blends historic character with contemporary comfort. Original stonework, natural materials, and elegant furnishings create a warm and inviting atmosphere, while the light-filled interiors offer two comfortable double bedrooms and beautifully considered living spaces that feel both relaxed and refined.

Outside, a private courtyard garden offers a tranquil escape after a day exploring the villages, markets, and trails of Provence. Spend leisurely summer lunches on the terrace, enjoy an evening apéritif beneath the Provençal sky, or cool off in the small but private pool, tucked within the property’s charming stone walls.

The location is one of La Petite Ocrière’s greatest advantages. Local cafés, restaurants, and village amenities are just a stroll from the front door, while some of the Luberon’s most celebrated destinations—including Roussillon, Gordes, Bonnieux, and Ménerbes—are all within easy driving distance. Hiking and cycling routes are also close by, making the house an ideal base for discovering the region’s exceptional landscapes and hidden corners. For larger groups or two families, please note that Le Mas Colorado is adjacent and can be rented separately.

Location of Le Petit Mas Maçon

Locality

Great Things to Do Near Le Petit Mas Maçon

Have a day out in Avignon,

the capital of the Vaucluse. Head for the car park called 'Parking Palais des Papes'. This underground car park is underneath the Palais des Papes square and so when you surface, you greeted with an awe inspiring view of the Palais itself.

Visit Roussillon

... home to rock formations, and the most vivid red hued soil you will have ever seen. The colours span the spectrum of reds, oranges and yellows and are truly amazing. The village itself is a delight to wander around with its arty shops and lovely cafés.

Visit Apt on a Saturday for the weekly market

or between April and October on a Tuesday morning too. Once you are stocked up on fresh fruit, bread, olives, have lunch in one of the many cafés.

Visit a lavender distillery

The Luberon is renowned for its lavender fields. If you would like to learn about how it is processed, you could visit the 'Les Agnels' distillery just outside of Apt. Guided tours are available in July and August.

Drive along the country roads that go up and over the Plateau de Vaucluse

to Sault, famous for its lavender fields. Go at the beginning of July to see the area awash in the colour purple, or go on 15th August for the Fete de Lavande, held in Sault itself.

A breath of fresh air!

Lovers of the great outdoors will feel spoilt - the Luberon is a magnificent region for walking and hiking, cycling, and spotting all sorts of flora and fauna.

Play a round of golf

The 9-hole Golf des Ocres was opened in 2024 in lovely countryside near the village of Villars. Also within the 'Domaine des Hautes Garrigues' site is a restaurant and pro shop. 

Wine tasting

The local vignerons often attend markets, and offer tastings on the spot. Or you can visit a nearby vineyard directly to taste and purchase some fabulous wine at really competitive prices. Most of these wines are not imported into the UK, so it's great to see what else is out there.

Lourmarin, in the Grand Luberon,

is a very pretty village, dominated by its chateau. Visit the chateau or explore the narrow streets lined with art galleries, cafes, and craft shops. Try the local sweet snack called gibassier which is a sweet cookie made with olive oil, shaped like an oval leaf and about a foot long.

Walk through the ochre landscape

Accessed from Rustrel, the ‘Colorado Provençal’ is a range of hills and former ochre quarries crossed by well-marked footpaths. Look out for the ‘fairy chimneys’, a river of sand, and various other striking formations caused by the quarrying. Keep your camera at the ready, to take stunning pictures of the vivid hues and surreal landscape.

A family cycle ride

If you have brought or rented bikes, why not cycle part of the Véloroute du Calavon, a former railway track which has been developed into a dedicated cycle path. Mostly flat, it is safe and easy for most abilities. It stretches between Apt and Cavaillon, with panoramic views of Luberon hilltop villages, lavender fields and orchards.

The villages of Oppède Le Vieux, Ménerbes and Lacoste

Set against a backdrop of craggy limestone hills, these restored three villages are extremely pretty and always bustling. You reach Oppède le Vieux on foot, leaving your car in the parking space below the village. Narrow pathways lead up to the 12th century castle at the very top of the steep rocky outcrop on which the village is built. The drive between Oppède and Ménerbes is lovely, with vineyards on either side. Wander the little streets of Ménerbes with its mixture of pastel coloured and stone houses, and pop in and out of the chic boutiques you will find there. The final village in the trio, Lacoste, is probably the most attractive, perhaps due to the fact that it is less restored than the others, and in part to the fabulous views it has over the valley. During the 18th century its castle was home to the Marquis de Sade.
