Why the Owner Chose Vacqueyras
Provence offers the perfect combination of natural beauty to admire, history to learn, local culture to experience, food to savour, treasures to discover, and most of all, people to meet and enjoy.
The Unique Benefits at this House
The wine, the food at the local markets, the wine festival in July, being a part of a real village community, and did I mention the wine?
Owner's Map of Vacqueyras
Paul and Susie Segal reside in San Francisco. Paul is a graphic designer and Susie is a travel agent. They fell in love with Provence in 1993 while on sabbatical. They became intrigued with the notion of owning their own home there. They returned to Provence that winter and found their 1793 dream home in the wonderful village of Vacqueyras. After several grueling working trips they managed to turn the house into a comfortable home. They cherish the time they are able to spend there, and take great pleasure sharing their home with friends and guests.
