Owner's Profile
Owner Description
I've owned and rented out properties in France since 2001. Though a native New Yorker, I think I must have been French in another life, and have since very happily relocated to Provence in 2007, dividing my time at this apartment and the house in the Luberon (VRBO #57385) This place is truly everything the guidebooks say it is - Paradise on Earth. As the French saying goes, "On vie bien en Provence!" [we live well here] and so I hope to welcome you to this magical part of the world.
The Unique Benefits of this Apartment
The apartment is romantic, cheerful, comfortable and the location is excellent - if you wish to visit all of Provence, or just spend your time wandering the beautiful city of Aix. Please come and visit, and make Aix Mirabeau your home in the South of France.
