The House
Cent Cinq has a long history, which we are still discovering. There has certainly been a building on this site since the Second Century. The present structure is mainly 18th century – although some parts are older and others more recent. Our aim has been to preserve the best of the old and add the necessary modern touches to bring the accommodation right up-to-date, so you can experience Cent Cinq in comfort.

Amenities
Cent Cinq has places to take it easy, places to have some fun – and useful places, too.
At the heart of the building, our central courtyard is perfect for relaxing at any time of day. It’s a riot of colour in summer and a green oasis all year round, which changes with the seasons. Off the courtyard is the buanderie, which has a washing machine, a freezer for the use of guests and space to store bikes.
Below the house, in the cave (cellar), is our Games Room, which stays wonderfully cool, even in the height of a Provençal summer. You’ll find pool, darts and table football – plus WiFi and Bluetooth speakers.
Heritage
From the fragments of Roman mosaic on the floor of the cave to the 18th-century timbers of the ceilings, this building has a long history and has been home to many, many people. Now, re-imagined and brought right up-to-date, Cent Cinq is ready and waiting for you. Whether it’s for a short break or a longer stay, we want you to settle back and make yourself comfortable!

Housekeeping
This is where we work the magic that keeps the house running smoothly and make sure that your stay is a really pleasant one.
Bedroom Three
In addition to our two apartments, Bedroom Three is a very comfortable 'pied à terre' with a well-appointed en-suite shower room and plenty of wardrobe space.
Stairs
The winding central staircase is at the heart of the building, with the apartments on one side and single rooms on the other. With its red tomettes (tiles) and its elegantly simple balustrade, it is typically Provençal.
Entrance Hall
Open the front door onto an oasis of peace and tranquility in the heart of a lively city. On a Saturday, the best market in Provence is right on your doorstep.
Utility
Off the courtyard you'll discover the utility room where you'll find a washing machine, a freezer with plenty of ice and recycling facilities. You'll also find picnic equipment, a selection of books and games - and space to store bikes.
Cave
The smaller of our caves is our Games Room - you'll find pool, darts and table football here - it's a very popular place in the summer months, because it's so cool.
rue des Marchands
rue des Marchands is a pedestrian-only street, lined with shops of all descriptions. On Saturday mornings, it's at the heart of a bustling market - at night it's calm and quiet.
Jen & Chris
This is where we live - at the top of the house. This means we're always on hand if you need us - but your space is totally private if you don't.
You’ll find Cent Cinq on rue des Marchands, which has changed little over the years. It’s still a busy shopping street and most of the buildings – like 105 – are virtually the same as they were two hundred years ago. It’s part of the heritage that makes this town so special.
