This is our new Website !

Filed under Luberon & Provence, Nice activities
Welcome to Mas des Etoiles in Gordes, Luberon, Provence. We tried to have a user-friendly approach.It is not yet totally completed. In fact it must be a living thing.
Main features to-day are :
- Many pictures with slide-shows. It is developped in particular for the Rooms Presentation, the overall review of the B&B ( See EXPRESS TOUR), photos of a few guest “live” !
- It is not a Tourist Guide, but we endeavoured to give specific information to help the guest to take the best of his stay with us. These sections should be in continuous progress.
We have started to have a few links with guests or even one of our 3 daugthers – Agathe – ’s blog, which features day-to -day life of a French Family (and photos taken here last Christmas with the kids).
Also we have a special link with Brasil, as we made friends with a very nice Brasilian Blogger – Jorge Bernardes -and his wife, His narration of his visit to Provence brought to us many guests who, themselves brought new ones etc … We recommend a visit of this blog as he explains very well what to see in Provence.
The other blog by : “Confession of a Serendipitous Girl “ by Phil & Jen Rogers of Portland, Oregon, is also very interesting because they are traveling a lot and you also enter the current life of a smart American Family.
We have also made a link with Tripadvisor as there are comments by guests explaining what they got. ( There is a very bad comment coming from an unfuriated and bad-mannered lady which had an unbelievable attitude, this happens. It’s better not to meet her either for business or socially). Annette has a lot to say about that. We cannot leave that unreplied.
Annette has started to-day with her own contribution to the website : She wills to make something on decoration etc , everything she likes. The first post is on how to do a “Tarte Tatin” !
She called the section (see above right) : The Angels’ Corner. I don’t know to whom she is referring.
The website will be in several languages but for the beginning we intend to mix French and English as most of our environment at least reads English. It is a pure homemade product started in the first days of February. So be indulgent.
Golf in Luberon – Provence Country Club : Just 20 minutes from Gordes
March 20, 2009 by admin
Filed under Golf, Spring Delights
One of the best golf courses of Provence : Provence Country Club is just 20 minutes from Gordes. It is located between L’Isle-sur-La Sorgue and Fontaine-de-Vaucluse. So from here it is very easy to get there through Cabrières d’Avignon and Lagnes.

You are facing the Luberon Hills and all the area
This course is a 18 holes, par 72 (6099 m.), architect: J. Garaialde ( one of the best French players in the 80’s).
The Golf is very well maintained and has many facilities among which an excellent restaurant. You will enjoy superb view on the Luberon Hills (see image). One idea would be to have lessons. They have an top and friendly teacher who can make for our guests a series of “refresher” courses. Our guests like it very much. So, every year we have several groups of golfers who want to play but not to do only that. So the ladies can have their own activities. And they can enjoy all the restaurants we describe in this website. The Golf has Hotel facilities. It is cheap in every respect. So it’s really a good bet, when you are in Provence not to be golf 100%.

On this hole, your longest drive ever ?
From Gordes and Mas des Etoiles, we propose at least 7 different golf courses. Principally
and besides Golf de Provence Country Club, we propose Golf du Grand Avignon (35 minutes), Golf de Pont Royal and two real jewels : Golf des Baux and Golf de Servanes. Golf des Baux has a special mark as it is a 9 holes (you don’t wish to spend too much time and overpay) and the environment is truly exceptionnal. It’s quiet (of course you book your tee) . We recommend you to do your round by 5-6 : 00 PM as the evening shades are the best After that you can have a casual diner in Maussane- les-Alpilles (out of the Saint Rémy crowd and in one of the street café just facing the church among locals) and after come back to Gordes direct through Eygalières. I have not played at Servanes but our guests who did it enjoyed a lot. Servanes is just south of Maussane, near Mouriès.
