We are Guy and Gaby, your hosts at Moulin de la Roque in Noves Provence France.
Guy came from Belgium over 22 years ago searching for an estate in France where he could relax, engage in some agriculture and enjoy the Provencal lifestyle and mild weather. He found such a place in the Moulin de la Roque.
A historic old flour mill (dating back as far a the 1500s), located in the countryside, near a small village but not far from Saint Remy and Avignon. It was nestled up to a mountain and rock cliff and surrounded by a lovely river. There were fields of orchards and a small vineyard and a grand chateau.
The only problem was that most of it was in ruins. He had no idea what he would do with it, however, being an engineer by education and an architect at heart, he had no hesitation to begin a renovation of the property which continues even today.
Guy met Gabrielle (Gaby), an American, 14 years ago when she came as a guest to the Moulin with some artists to paint. Air France had lost her luggage for over 10 days. At that time she spoke little French so he, of course, helped her to retrieve it. Thanks to Air France, she has never left.! Some say she is still there waiting for her luggage to arrive.
Guy and Gaby are passionate about their mill and their Provence and love sharing both with their guests. When you arrive you are their guests when you leave, you leave as their friends.
They delight in sharing their secret discoveries of Provence and get pleasure in watching their guests make and share their own discoveries.
Gaby loves to paint and often has art workshops at the mill. Guy is an avid hiker and would love to give you all his advice and discoveries of the quaint and hidden Provence wilderness.
Gaby who loves the villages and markets, cooking, décor, and shopping can give you expert advice if that is your passion.
You will feel at home in Provence at the Moulin de la Roque with Guy and Gaby as your hosts.
