La Genestiere near Orange in the Vaucluse

 

 



La Genestière is a 6 acres estate that lies between the old Roman towns of Orange and Vaison-la-Romaine at the heart of Côtes-du-Rhône wine growing region. Its origin can be traced back to the 15th century. In the middle of the 16th century, it belonged to Diane de Poitiers, for more than 20 years influencing lover of the French King Henri II, husband of Catherine de Médicis who hates Mary, and will stop at nothing to destroy her. Mary befriends the king's true lover, Diane de Poitiers. In July 1559, Henri II was mortally wounded in a mock tourney held as part of the ten day festivities celebrating the marriage of his son Francis to Mary, Queen of Scots.

La Genestière estate comprises olive trees, lavender field and orchards, and only two buildings: an old Provencal farmhouse, a "Mas", that has been renovated for our own use and a barn that has been equipped so that it can be rented separately as a tranquil and sunny Provencal holiday home available for 8 to 10 people.

Mas and barn are kept separated so that everyone enjoys real privacy with its own garden and swimming pool, within the calm of the large estate.
