Our house is a two-minute walk from Rue Saint Jacques, the village's pedestrianized street. Legend has it that the house is 350 years old. We have been able to confirm it, but the architecture and building technique are typical of Provence. It has all the features you hope to find in a home in the South of France, but with all the modern conveniences. It was also once home to the world-famous actor and musician Jean Sarrus (b. 1945).
June - August is arrival Saturday 16.00, departure Saturday 10.00. Minimum 6 night.

We were lucky to stay in this home for a week this summer. It was spacious, well-stocked, and decorated with care and style - a pleasure to stay in! Loved the village it was in as well and its location to beaches, etc. - would come again and recommend highly!

I am glad that you appreciated our house and the village.
The village is lively in the summer with many restaurants and the sea, with many beaches, is 20 km away.
You are very welcome back!
Hello Alexander, glad you enjoyed your holiday.
Something went wrong with my opinion, I will rent out to again. I will see if Vrbo can change that. Regards Haidi

A very nice guest who respected our house and left it clean and tidy. We had good communication and also received good tips to make the house even better, for which we are grateful.
They are warmly welcome as guests again!
We were really impressed by the house which is even lovelier than the photos! Very tastefully decorated and the kitchen's state-of-the-art equipment is every amateur chef's dream! We loved our stay.
