Main DescriptionThe owners of the above project are an Anglo-French couple and have lived in France since 1987 and have been involved in viticulture since 1984. The property in which the apartment is situated dates from at least the 17th century, has vaulted ceilings. The main economic activity of the estate has always been wine production been involved with the production of wine. The adjacent buildings were used for the storage of wine, and pressing. The rooms of the apartment had had several functions: there is a cross on the outside wall which suggests there may have had a religious use, very usual in a secular building. The town hall of our village used to be the private chapel of the Palejay family. Other uses are: servants’ quarters, during WWII it (the whole building) was used to billet German soldiers, the Resistance was active in the local forest. And more recently to store olives and house grape pickers. The building was tastefully restored under the supervision of an architect in 2000, he suggested the apartment was of sufficient size for six people but we prefer that our clients benefit of a spacious environment. There is a supermarket within 5 minutes walk and a boulangerie/patisserie (bakery) just round the corner. As I mentioned earlier we are involved in the production of wine and offer a selection of wines for sale as well as a complimentary sample of our wine. We will be producing wine on a commercial basis from the harvest 2006.Because of our experience of living in the area we can offer advice on how to make the most of your time during your visit.Self-Catering ApartmentThe gite is situated on the ground floor of the owners’ house in the centre of a medieval village.
