I believe the environment of the Mas is exceptional as you will feel being in the middle of an incredible countryside state though will walk of bike 200m for the first bakery and chemist and another 200m for your morning newspaper (British & American too!)
The area is also an incredible site as you will have the opportunity to go to extraordinary venues to some of the best festivals of France like the Avignon Theatre Festival, the the Piano Festival of La Roque D'Antheron, the Rencontres d'Arles but also the Classical Music Festival of Aix en Provence it is almost a calendar that can fill every night under the Provencal sky.
Once you are overwelmed with those, stay home, cook, eat, sleep, swim, play in the garden, the Mas is the best retreat youcan dream off.
