As early as the 15th century, the Roux family was given the rights by the Pope to use the river for a flour mill, called la Roque. For over 350 years, the same owners ran this ancient flour mill and it grew to a grand status. Now called Le Moulin de la Roque (mill by the rock) Guy and Gaby have renovated these historic buildings once used to serve this flour mill into tasteful cottages and vacation villas. Authentic with original beams, stone walls, and crisp plastered wall,

Les Cigales was converted from an old barn where the grain was stored in the old mill. Guy has cleverly incorporated five large bedrooms, four baths, a spacious fully equipped kitchen with two refrigerators and a five burner gas stove. Les Cigales retains its old world charm with all the modern conveniences of modern living.
