Domaine de Lamanon Venue

In the Alpilles foothills west of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, this fortified house (mas) dates to the medieval period with seventeenth-century reinforcements. Stone towers, crenellations, and narrow slit windows echo military function; later peaceful additions include gardens and a chapel. The venue accommodates 70 to 160 guests and grounds conversations about how agricultural communities defended themselves while maintaining the aesthetic of refuge and permanence that characterizes Provençal heritage architecture.
