Provencal Living

Provence has a timeless and enduring appeal - with its houses built of rough or cut stone, or rendered and washed with colour, there is simplicity and honesty about the vernacular architecture of Provence that lures people from all over the world to this most acclaimed and frequently visited region of France.
Provence is often described as being human in scale, and Virgilian - having a classical poise and balance where proportions and values seem right. Its homes and houses certainty fit this description. Stone, tile and timber combine harmoniously, creating nostalgia for a simpler, rural way of life anchored by the sense of permanence that old houses bring.
