Item Description

Imagine a week exploring the French countryside amidst fields, vineyards, orchards, Roman ruins and mediaeval castles. Tucked away in the heart of sunny Provence, in a hidden valley carved by a sparkling little river and reached only by narrow, winding country roads, this tiny village is the perfect place to call home base for a week (or more!). Stay in your choice of one of our 300+ year old stone, red tile-roofed, wood beam-ceilinged houses. Each is unique, both decorated in simple but charming country style, including antiques.

The winning bidder will have their choice of two homes located in Veaux, France. One sleeps 6, the other sleeps 4.  Both offer upstairs views of the valley. The Maison Clement home is three-stories, with a kitchen/dining-room, a cozy sitting-room, two bedrooms each with a double bed, and two sleeping landings each with a single bed (sleeping a maximum of 6 people). There is also a shady courtyard perfect for outdoor dining or early morning coffee. The Maison Bernard home is two-stories and has a spacious living/dining-room, a good-sized kitchen with washing-machine, and a large bedroom with twin beds. A charming small bedroom with a double bed and the bathroom both open off the large bedroom (sleeping a maximum of 4 people).

Maison Clement is more suitable for larger and mixed groups, Maison Bernard for couples, small families, or close friends.

Neither luxury palaces nor intended for the seeker of big cities or Ritz-style convenience, these charming houses appeal especially to those who cherish rural simplicity and country calm. Equipped with kitchens, these eighteenth-century buildings offer a haven that allows you to avoid the expenses of hotel-and-restaurant living, a home away from home from which to descend to the river to wade, to take leisurely evening walks, to emerge for the street markets or cultural events in surrounding towns, and to leave for all-day excursions to famous places like Orange, Avignon, Pont-du-Gard, Nimes, Aix-en-Provence, and many other sites. Set in what we consider to be the most beautiful part of Provence, with rolling hills, picturesque villages, hilltop chateaux, stunning mountain scenery, and fine restaurants and wineries, Veaux is in the region of Mont Ventoux, Vaison-la-Romaine, and Carpentras. It lies 70 miles from Marseille's Marignanne Airport, 11 miles from Vaison, and 3 miles from stunning little Mollans, the nearest village purveying groceries.
