We had a long search to find the right house for us - the main attraction was to be away from it all, as a complete contrast to living in London. We chose the Languedoc for its amazing weather, and knew from previous holidays that the region had a lot to offer in terms of history, places to visit, restaurants and of course, wine! The pace of life is relaxed - the locals still observe a proper break for lunch!
The house itself met our needs perfectly - no neighbours to annoy, a real French feel to the house, with the features of a 140 year old farmhouse.
It's a real home from home for us, and we only wish we could spend more time there!
