Villa Baulieu by Airelles occupies an 18th-century bastide in the Aix-en-Provence countryside, part of Airelles' twelve-property portfolio of heritage French addresses.

Truffle hunting on the estate grounds — a structured experience rather than a generic add-on, which is how Airelles programs its properties.
