La Campagne Saint Lazare is a 17th century mas, or country house, set in 7 hectares (20 acres) of lush meadows, bordered by two streams in Provence. It is less than a kilometre from the 14th century fortified city of Forcalquier, and just 70 kilometres from the ancient city of Aix-en-Provence.

La Campagne Saint Lazare has two studio apartments, each sleeping two guests, with a sofa bed which can accommodate a third guest if necessary. The studios are on the ground floor facing the pool.

A separate apartment accommodates four guests: it has two bedrooms, each with a pair of twin beds. Again, this apartment has a convertible sofa bed to take a fifth guest. For larger parties, the studios and the apartment can all communicate with each other, if needed.

The property also contains a restaurant, and the on-site chef can cook a memorable and traditional meal for you. Or dine out on the terrace, with a view of the citadel of Forcalquier.

The extensive grounds include a large swimming pool, chlorine-free and filled with water from the spring, and surrounded by terraces where guests can dine or lie out in the sun.

A rolling meadow, mature trees, and a pond with a waterfall provide space, shade, and tranquility.

From La Campagne Saint Lazare, it is less than a kilometre to the medieval town and citadel of Forcalquier. This is a great place to stroll to on a Sunday and listen to the manually operated bells of the Chapel of Notre-Dame de Provence. From the Citadel, the panoramic view of Forcalquier is magnificent.

The town hosts an open-air market on Monday, where local artisans and small producers sell food and wares. Don't miss the chance to walk around the Old Quarter of Forcalquier, with its narrow cobblestone streets, shaded squares, and townhouses dating from the 13th and 14th century.

Forcalquier enjoys a dynamic cultural life. For many years, artists, writers, painters and sculptors have settled here, attracted by the beauty of the site and by the warm welcome of the local residents.

A wide range of activities are available locally, including cycling, fishing, and hiking.
