Mas de Méjanes, Protected agricultural estate in Les Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, France
The farmhouse features a prominent stone tower and multiple buildings dedicated to agricultural operations, including rice cultivation and livestock facilities.
Dating from the 13th century, the estate was initially controlled by Templars who used its tower as a strategic watchtower connecting Arles to Les Saintes-Maries.
The estate incorporates an arena where visitors experience traditional Camargue events, including demonstrations of regional horsemanship and bull-related activities.
Visitors can access the estate through guided tours, exploring the grounds via a small train, walking paths, or horseback riding trails.
Paul Ricard, founder of the pastis brand, transformed this estate in 1939 into a center for preserving Provençal traditions and sustainable agriculture.
