Ideally located, the newly restored lavender barn offers privacy and convenience, just step outside and you are a one-minute walk from the village center and it’s local wine bar & restaurant, also a 4 minute walk from the ancient Chateau.
The village of Lardiers is close to Banon where there is an excellent bookshop, small supermarket, restaurants, a wine bar, cafés, bakery, butchers and weekly market. It is the perfect place to unwind and experience French cafe culture.
This central area of Provence is the perfect location for explorers of medieval hill top villages, for walkers and cyclists who enjoy the beauty of the vast area of the Montagne de Lur. This hidden area in the Alpes de haute Provence is extraordinarily beautiful with many opportunities for day trips. You can sample world-class wines, wander through fields of lavender and sunflowers, shop in open-air markets, and enjoy outdoor activities.
Close by are the towns of Forcalquier, Manosque, Apt and Sisteron with their museums and medieval architecture. From this central Provence location day trips to Avignon, Aix en Provence, Marseille and many other internationally renowned places are within easy reach.
Mike & Rosi purchased the old lavender barn in 2009, which had change very little during it's very long history. Formally owned by the Chateau of Lardiers, where the owners would have brought the lavender from the fields to distil into essence of lavender at the ancient barn, before transporting the oil's to Marseille. Mike & Rosi were able to draw on their years of experience restoring old properties and their former business activities to convert the barn into a domestic accomodation.
Key words: New converted barn, quiet village, local restaurant, central to well known places of interest, private secure garden.
