Description for B&B:
The house, which dates back to the time of Louis XIV, was in a state of complete disrepair when we purchased it in 1974. It has taken us 30 years of relentless hard work and extensive renovations, along with a great deal of courage, to transform it into what it is today. Our dedication and commitment have been recognized by the esteemed "Gites de France," and we proudly hold the coveted "3 epis de charme" rating.Our establishment comes highly recommended by esteemed publications such as "Rivages des Maison dhôtes de charme," "Le guide du Routard Provence," "Le guide Gantié," "Le petit Futé," and even the prestigious English guidebook "Allastair Sawdays Special places to Stay" and "Mountains of Europe."
During the summertime, guests are welcome to utilize our barbecue facilities. Additionally, we offer the possibility of arranging meals for groups exceeding 10 individuals (excluding the months of July and August). Please feel free to inquire for further details. Whether it's for family gatherings, business meetings, or engaging in sports activities with friends, we can comfortably accommodate 10 to 12 persons.
