Autumn has set in but in Provence it is still warm and sunny. The nights and evenings are
cooler which is pleasant after the hot summer nights of the past months.
It has been a busy summer season for La Sentinelle and not only with the numerous guests
that enjoyed their stay in Le Parage.
We organized a well-attended creative painting workshop for an international group of
participants. This proved to be a big success. We have therefore decided to set up more
creative workshops in the months to come. We will announce these well in advance, so keep
an eye on this website for the latest updates.
Also, an increasing number of clubs and associations find their way to La Sentinelle for
meetings and get-togethers. They very much appreciate the pleasant atmosphere of the
B&B, the home made delicacies and the breathtaking views over the valley.

Place du Père Clinchard
A group of people from all corners of the world who call the Père Clinchard Square their
home, initiated a convivial meal under the name “Saveurs du Monde”(Flavours of the world).
And it was an international spread indeed: Scandinavian, American, British and Dutch dishes
were being served.

Les Arcs-sur-Argens
The village of Les Arcs-sur-Argens itself was also bustling with various activities. The
highlight of which was certainly “Les Medievales”, a two yearly event lasting three full days
celebrating the medieval history of the region.

On a more serious note: mid August Les Arcs-sur-Argens commemorated the liberation by
the Allied Forces 80 years ago.Several events took place among which a street exposition
that highlighted different aspects of life in Les Arcs under the German Occupation.

Autumn
Les Arcs-sur-Argens and the surrounding villages have a lot of events on offer this autumn
but for Les Arcs the most memorable event has been the official opening of the Bastide de
Sainte Cècile which took place on October 8.
After years of renovation this heritage treasure, once a silk and olive mill dating back to the
18th century, is now an interactive museum.
Sainte Cecile is certainly well worth a visit. And the good news is: it is only a 5 minutes walk
from La Sentinelle.
