La Bastide du Pin is located
15 kilometers away from the city of Draguignan that was subject to
exceptionnally heavy rainfalls on 15th June : impressive rainfalls
have caused flooding of a magnitude that had not been observed since
1827.
The downpours were intense over
the entire region but the city of Lorgues and the neighbouring
villages were relatively spared.
Thanks to its location on the side
of a hill, La Bastide du Pin was virtually not affected by these
events. None of the buildings was flooded or damaged by rain
falls. Neither the guests who were
present on that day nor their vehicles suffered any damage.
Streams of water flowed through the park and an outside wall was
damaged but the swimming pool and all equipments of the Bastide
were back to normal operation as early as 18th June.
