This one-bedroom two-story apartment is in an attractive restored 17th century house on a quiet, light-filled square in Lourmarin, widely recognised as one of the "most beautiful villages in France" (see link below for information on Lourmarin)
The apartment provides ample accommodation for a couple or a family with one small child. The first floor has a sitting area, dining area and corner kitchen giving onto a small south-facing terrace overlooking the village church and a fountain.
The second floor consists of an oak-beamed bedroom with a small ensuite bathroom. The house is fully and comfortably furnished with a mixture of antiques, art pieces, bric-à-brac and a lot of books.
There is a comfortable modern queen-sized bed, a satellite T.V. and an audio cassette player with a large and eclectic collection of music. (For families with one small child, we can provide a crib or a special small fold-out bed.)
The kitchen has a refrigerator/freezer, two electric cooking rings, a counter-top oven, and a generous supply of kitchen utensils. The bathroom, though small, has a modern shower and recently renovated plumbing.
There is also a small private laundry room with a new washer and dryer.
The 'Petite Maison' has been furnished with care and attention to detail, and has a very cosy feel. Previously it belonged to an editor from Gallimard Publishing House who used it as a 'pied-à-terre' when working on a book with Catherine Camus about her father, Albert Camus.
Lourmarin, has been officially designated as "one of the most beautiful villages in France". Many writers and artists have lived here, among them Camus, who is buried in the village cemetery.
The village is also well-known for its fourteen fine restaurants, including Edouard Loubet's "Le Moulin" and Reine Sammut's "Auberge La Fenière" (both Michelin starred). Reine is among the talented few to win the coveted title of "Best Woman Chef in France". Lourmarin is much visited all year round for its lively atmosphere and chic shops and art galleries. It is also an excellent base from which to explore Aix-en-Provence, Avignon, Arles, the Luberon villages and the Camargue.
