Le Mas de la Rousselle – A Journey between Provence and Asia

Nestled at the foot of Mont Ventoux, Le Mas de la Rousselle is a sanctuary where the Provençal art of living intertwines seamlessly with Asian influences. This exceptional retreat is an invitation to travel—an exquisite fusion of cultures where each object tells a story, bearing witness to masterful craftsmanship, timeless traditions, and a profound quest for harmony.

A Subtle Balance of Tradition and Modernity

The décor of the mas is a refined interplay between contemporary design and the authenticity of Asian artistry. Clean lines and raw, natural materials create a space imbued with both elegance and serenity. A sofa designed by a renowned French creator, vibrant European armchairs, and a rustic table handcrafted by a local blacksmith coexist effortlessly with rare and storied pieces, each infused with deep cultural significance and spirituality.

The Essence of Asia at the Heart of the Mas

Each decorative element reflects a tradition where objects transcend their function to become vessels of emotion, history, and contemplation.

India – Sacred Artistry and Opulent Craftsmanship: Hand-carved furniture from Kerala and Orissa, an imposing wooden desk, intricately framed mirrors, and miniature paintings from Rajasthan celebrate the refinement of Indian craftsmanship. The sacred is ever-present through Thangka paintings illustrating the life of Buddha and Buddhist mandalas, used as meditative focal points and symbols of spiritual elevation.
China & Tibet – Harmony in Symbolism and Design: Tibetan cabinets, a sleek black lacquered console, and a deep red lacquered chest embody a sophisticated aesthetic where precision of form meets the vibrancy of color and ornamentation, creating a delicate balance between structure and artistic expression.
Southeast Asia – An Homage to Artisan Heritage: A Thai writing desk and coffee table, repurposed from traditional opium-den mattresses, are displayed alongside Burmese offering boxes, which speak to a deep-rooted culture of spirituality and devotion. The art of craftsmanship is further reflected in Malaysian Buddha statues and Lombok pottery from Indonesia, each piece bearing the imprint of nature and ancestral expertise.
Japan – Minimalism and Contemplation: A curated selection of Japanese paintings, defined by their delicate aesthetic and contemplative beauty, serves as a final touch in this seamless blend of Eastern influences and the timeless charm of Provence.

A Haven of Reflection and Escape

More than a home, Le Mas de la Rousselle offers an immersive experience—an invitation to slow down, reflect, and embrace the poetry of place. Inspired by the Asian philosophy of balance and interconnectedness, this sanctuary fosters tranquility and introspection. Here, time appears suspended, allowing guests to reconnect with the essence of beauty and stillness, in a setting where Provence and Asia converge in perfect harmony.
