The soul of the mas
At Mas du Couvin, water, stone, earth, and sky connect the guests’ souls to nature for a different time experience.
Water
The marshes are an iconic feature of the Camargue Regional Nature Park, where countless species of resident and migratory birds find a peaceful haven. Mas du Couvin is nestled within this rare and vibrant natural landscape, which it strives to preserve through its commitment to environmental sustainability.
Beyond the lagoons, unseen yet ever-present, lies the Mediterranean Sea. It is this sea that gives the Camargue its salt, its extraordinary light, and its unmistakable spirit.
Stone
Bâti en 1970 par une famille d’amoureux de la Camargue, le mas a été restauré par des passionnés de nature. Séduits par ce site unique, ils ont fait appel à une architecte arlésienne et privilégié des matériaux durables, comme le travertin qui évoque la pierre de l’église des Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer.
Earth
Typical Camargue plant species thrive freely and secure the Mas du Couvin in the surrounding marshlands. To create natural privacy, local trees and shrubs have been replanted around the swimming pool, including tamarisks, pistachio trees, bay laurels, umbrella pines, phillyreas, salt marsh plants, sea lavenders, and obiones.
Sky
In the Camargue, the sky is like no other because nothing prevents it from unfolding. At dawn, at dusk, and even more so on starry nights, it offers visitors an unforgettable spectacle.
Time
Time does not pass as it does elsewhere at Mas du Couvin The light asserts itself and sets its rhythm, making each incidence of the sun a unique, changing and sublime moment.
