Domaine des Camarades
Your summer house in the Drôme Provençal for up to 8 persons
Old silk farm with 20 meter swimming pool
Domaine des Camarades is an old "magnanerie" from the 19th Century used for the production of silk and the cultivation of fruit. The farm consists of multiple buildings which form a little village (hameau) just for your private use. It's located on the south side of a mountain close to the old village of Mirmande and is fully protected from the mistral winds. The private domaine totals 40 hectares of orchards, woods and grassland. A temperature controlled swimming pool of 20 meters long overlooks the valley with views of Mirmande and the surrounding mountains. The property is very spacious and can easily host 7 to 8 persons. Be careful with very small children because of the staircases in the main house and swimming pool (which can be easily closed with an electric shutter).
​
Various walking and mountain bike trails pass by the grounds. The local road at the entrance takes you in 5' to the village of Mirmande where you will find restaurants and shops. In the area around Mirmande you can enjoy vineyards, fruit and olive orchards, lavender fields, medieval villages and endless outdoors. You can reach the Mediterranean Sea or the Alps in two hours by car. Or within shorter distance places such as Lyon, Valence, Avignon, the river Drôme valley, the Ardèche and the many villages in the Provence and around the Mont Ventoux.
