Of course you could simly spend the whole week by the swimming pool! There is even a dishwasher by the barbecue in the poolhouse, and the possibility of wifi under the trees. 
 
Very much a private home - a haven of space under summer skies - and is only available for a select number of weeks each year. The whole domain is enclosed with a smart wall. In the South-facing garden, discover the grove of old poplars that give the villa its name and provide balmy mottled shade on a sunny day when the temperatures passed way beyond 36 degrees and rising, There is a lovely lawn for true sunworshippers and traditional boulodrome (for playing pétanque). 
 
Open the front door of the villa and step into the brightest living room you could wish for, the south wall is a huge window that opens out to one of the terraces and the grand garden and there are windows east and west too. A smart dining area is divided from the living room by a partial wall and the first dilemma is to choose to step out onto the East or South facing terraces (You will soon discover that this house has at least five different breakfast areas - without even considering laying out a picnic by the pool!) And, in the living room, is a Focus suspended fireplace, designed by Philippe Imbert, as displayed at the Guggenheim Museum in New York. 
 
A superb kitchen with the latest appliances also leads out to the terrace. 
 
The ground floor master bedroom has a generously-sized ensuite shower room and its own french windows which open westwards to one of the garden terraces. Climb the the whisk-turn of the contemporary styled staircase and you may discover three more bedrooms, two with ensuite wet rooms. There is also a 4th big shower/bathroom for the rest of the family. The bedrooms are air-conditioned.
