Hi Jane, Thanks for your comment :) we're glad you enjoyed your room with a view on our Provence cycling tour! We don't stay at this hotel anymore, but hopefully the above has inspired you for future holidays.
We did the Secret Provence Cycle a couple of years ago in May. I thought that our room overlooking the lake at Bauduen was lovely. The views changed by the hour - from sunrise to sunset and all the variations between. One morning we had a thick fog & even that was beautiful, especially as it lifted and the sun shone through. Eating dinner on the terrace and watching the sun set was also pretty special.
