Pigeonnier holiday in peaceful Provence
















P324D is a tastefully renovated pigeonnier for 4 people in a stunning location in the foothills of Haute Provence. It is part of a small private hamlet (consisting of an 18th century mill and a stone farmhouse) and there is a beautiful swimming pool which is shared with three other holiday properties and the French owners who occasionally occupy another cottage. We love the silence and the clear air here (it is claimed that this is the clearest sky in Europe, brilliant for star gazing, and the St Michel Observatory is situated just 20km away) – this one is strictly for lovers of the countryside. The owner takes a real pride in the sympathetic restoration of her properties, retaining the original features and carefully choosing colours and materials to create a warm atmosphere. The views are unbelievable; this is the perfect spot to get away from it all and completely relax. It’s ideal for walking or cycling, and the little village of Banon (which has food shops, a bookshop, a Tuesday market and a couple of restaurants) is only 4km away.
