About Petra Carter
A past which included running luxury tented safari camps in the wilds of Tanzania, training as a chef and working as a food-writer/photographer in Dublin Ireland as well as finishing a degree in Fine Art.. I eventually wound up in Uzes - where I run Cooking School 'Le Pistou' in the heart of this Medieval town.
Petra Carter purchased this apartment in 2012
Why Petra Carter chose Uzes
The extraordinary location of the apartment.. its luxurious spaciousness and brightness.. its high ceilings with softly filtered light.. the charm of its ancient history.. All this instantly made me want to create a graceful but relaxed space that I could enjoy and share with others as a home away from home in this beautiful Provencal town with ancient Roman roots..
What makes this apartment unique
The pretty, dappled shade of the square's plane trees and the colonial ceiling fans guarantee coolness and comfort even when summer is at his hottest. And a super efficient heating system ensures a snug and comfortable winter. Both bedrooms overlook a quiet courtyard with a spectacular view of St Etienne church while in the front lounge the activity in the square will keep you entertained. The square is closed to motorized traffic, creating ample room for restaurants' tables and chairs where people can enjoy a glass of something. In the summer, at lunchtime, sometimes musicians come to play, so while you lean over the apartment's window rail you can pretend that these impromptu serenades are just for you!
