The Shepherds' Bubble
The simplest and highest bubble on the site, set on a north-facing terrace so you can watch the sky turn all night long.
With your head to the north, you watch the Great Bear and Cassiopeia wheel slowly around the Pole Star, hour after hour.
The Shepherds’ Bubble sits on the highest terrace of the site, where flocks once passed on their way up to Mont Ventoux. Its clear wall lets the whole sky in; a blackout curtain lets you choose when to fall asleep.
No screen, no USB socket by the bed: a soft lantern, a pair of binoculars and a rotating star chart set for the latitude of the plateau. In the morning, breakfast is left in a basket at the door.
This is the bubble for a first night under the stars: simple, quiet, and turned towards the sky that wheels around the pole.
