Matt & Claire welcome you to La Maison Blanche
Nestled in the tranquil forest just outside the picturesque village of Saint-Paul-en-Forêt, one of the nine hilltop villages of the Pays de Fayence, La Maison Blanche is a charming boutique chambres d'hôtes set within 5,600 m² of beautiful grounds. With sweeping views across the forested valley towards the striking red rocks of the Col du Blavet, it's the perfect place to relax and unwind.
Four years ago, we met and soon realised that life was too short not to embark on a new adventure together. So, in February 2026, we packed up our lives, along with our 15-year-old tabby cat, Neville, and moved to France to embrace a new way of life and begin this exciting chapter.
As France has only recently become our home, you'll often find us continuing to improve the property, exploring the local area, and enjoying becoming part of our community, while Neville concentrates on his important role as Chief Quality Controller from the nearest sunny spot.
We're also enjoying the challenge of learning French and are making progress as we settle into life here. We appreciate your patience and understanding while our language skills continue to develop.
We look forward to welcoming you to our home, sharing our little corner of France, and helping you make the most of your stay.
Perfectly positioned between the elegance of the Côte d'Azur and the rolling foothills of the Alpes-Maritimes, La Maison Blanche is an ideal base from which to explore the region. Whether you're drawn to sun-drenched beaches, mountain trails, serene lakes or scenic cycling routes, the possibilities are as varied as they are inspiring. The surrounding area also invites you to discover local vineyards, traditional Provençal markets and a rich culinary heritage rooted in seasonal produce and authentic flavours.
For even more inspiration before or during your stay, we recommend exploring the Pays de Fayence Tourism Office, where you'll find information on local villages, events, walking routes, activities and hidden gems throughout the region.
La Maison Blanche offers four beautifully appointed en-suite guest rooms, thoughtfully designed to provide comfort, calm, and understated elegance. Each room is fully air-conditioned and styled in soft, natural tones, creating a peaceful and welcoming retreat.
Guests are invited to unwind and enjoy a range of wellness facilities, including a swimming pool, spa pool, sauna, and pétanque area. To ensure a relaxed and private experience, dedicated time slots are available for certain facilities.
Each morning begins with a generous breakfast, awakening the palate with local delicacies, while in the evening, guests may opt to enjoy our Table d’hôte dining experience (by reservation)
Take in the breathtaking views from the terrace with a glass of local rosé or a refreshing aperitif as the sun sets—an invitation to slow down, savour the moment before sharing a home-cooked meal and share the stories of your day.
