THE gIte

The gîte is a village house at the end of renovation. With a magnificent west view of the enfilade of the valley, with the roof of the hamlet in the foreground: a bacon du Caroux. But also a very spacious terrace on the ground floor.

On the ground floor is composed of a single room opening directly onto the terrace through a large bay window with brick partition, with an open kitchen and its central island, and lounge area and its traditional colonial wood stove.

Upstairs, you will find a magnificent bedroom with a balcony terrace and its breathtaking view of the valley on the west side and its magnificent sunsets, with a 160 bed, its corner shower room and a separate WC.

It is ideal for 2 and in all seasons, with the possibility of accommodating 2 additional people on the sofa bed in the living room.

Outside the high season (in July and August, when the house, the studio and the garden are rented in full) you have access to the shared garden (with myself if I am there and visitors to the studio).

the garden

The garden is one of the centerpieces of the place.

The house is located at the very top of the hamlet of La Coste, the last house in the village before the Caroux massif begins. A true haven of peace, the view is breathtaking over the Col de Beyrtouire and the Roc de l'Homme.

I like to say that this location is at a crossroads, from the chaos of the stream and the forest to the west, to the gentle hills of meadows and orchards to the east, the Caroux massif upstream, the hamlet in downstream.

In this marvelous garden, plants and minerals mingle, olive trees, roses, lavender, banana trees, cacti, flowers, green grass... stone walls and low walls, traditional slate terraces or in wood, a large pergola that protects from the sun or the rain, very comfortable with its teak lounge and dining room, its plancha, ideal space to enjoy the garden at any time of the day.

You will find a small swimming pool, ideal for cooling off and relaxing, surrounded by its large wooden terraces for sunbathing.

Some exotic wood decorations have been brought back from East Timor (ladders, wheels, architectural pieces, rice chest...).

A whole game of lighting and light brings a real magic when night comes...

THE ESSENTIAL RULES

OF THE PLACE

You are in the house where I live the rest of the year. I therefore leave all sorts of decorative objects brought back from my travels there, books in particular on art (my job being a graphic designer) that I will be happy to share with you during your stay.

You are surrounded by nature, with no opposite, but the place is located at the top of the Hameau de La Coste. Which means there are neighbors. Thank you for respecting them.

Parties are not permitted.
