Description for B&B:
In 1974, we purchased a house that had been in existence during the time of Louis XIV, but was in complete ruin. Over the course of 30 years, we dedicated ourselves to the arduous task of renovating and transforming it into what it is today. Our efforts have been acknowledged and endorsed by the esteemed "Gites de France", earning us a "3 epis de charme" rating.We are proud to be highly recommended by various reputable sources such as "Rivages des Maison dhôtes de charme", "Le guide du Routard Provence", "Le guide Gantié", "Le petit Futé", and even the prestigious English guide "Allastair Sawdays Special places to Stay" and "Mountains of Europe".
During the summer months, we offer a barbecue for your enjoyment. Additionally, we can cater meals for groups of more than 10 people (excluding July and August) - please inquire for further details. Whether you are planning a family gathering, a business meeting, or engaging in sports activities with friends, our accommodation can comfortably accommodate 10 to 12 individuals.
