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 wetlands are the symbol of the Camargue Regional Park and are home to many endemic and migratory bird species, Mas du Couvin is part of this rare and dynamic nature, which it strives to preserve through its environmental commitment.
Stone
Built in 1970 by a family who loved the Camargue, the farmhouse was restored by nature enthusiasts. Charmed by this unique site, they called upon an architect from Arles and favoured sustainable materials, such as travertine which evokes the stone of the church of 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.
