This heritage land has its stories... Around 1750 the owner of the place exploited the quarry to extract yellow ocher. Two centuries later, this house belongs to a French pop star in the 60s. Today, this place is enjoying a new life with its guest rooms, the attractions of the art gallery, its park, its workshops, its exhibitions. Diner on reservation -48h.

We left the Parisian life to settle in this eighteenth century house in the countryside. Cathy worked on film and photo sets in London, Paris, the Avignon Opera House and the Strasbourg Opera House.
