Le 4

Upon discovering L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, it’s easy to see why it’s nicknamed the ‘Venise Comtadine’: the green and blue reflections of the water are everywhere in this island-like city, offering a refreshing escape during hot summer days. Here lies Le 4, a typically Provençal townhouse where traditional materials and vintage finds from places like Morocco and Andalusia flourish. The diverse inspirations result in a delightfully vintage ambiance! In this 74m² triplex, guests can leave their purchases on the ground floor, ascend to the first floor to find the living room and kitchen, and continue to the second floor where two bedrooms and a spacious bathroom are nestled. Welcome to Clotilde’s!

When Clotilde and her husband landed at Le 4, Clotilde, a skilled interior decorator, wasted no time starting the renovation. With a focus on preserving existing materials like Provençal terracotta tiles, antique parquet, and terrazzo-style cement tiles, she added touches from other places to complement the style. The result? From the outside, it’s a quintessential Provençal townhouse. Inside, however, you can sense the owners’ travels beyond the South! Even when she travels, Clotilde isn’t entirely on vacation, as she continues her profession by hunting for beautiful local pieces. ‘I love finding unique pieces; antique objects bring personality and give identity to the place,’ she says.”

To beautify Le 4, Clotilde returned from Morocco with suitcases full of local treasures: zellige tiles for the shower, golden pendant lights for the kitchen, and haiks—large pieces of fabric worn by Berber women to protect themselves from heat and cold. Here, these traditional fabrics serve as curtains or bedspreads, warming the rooms with their summery colors. The kitchen backsplash was custom-made by Andalusian artisan Ceramica Los Arrayanes, inspired by a trip to Andalusia. You can almost imagine wandering through the streets of Granada while preparing an aioli or another local specialty in this beautifully crafted space!
