A village house at the top of the hill, and at foot of the cliff. The house is 500 years old, full of character, with beamed ceilings and original features, it is built on 6 floors connected by a central staircase that winds up through the house.

The house has two entrance doors, one at the bottom at the front of the house on Rue Plan Giraud, and another three floors above on another road. The upper entrance is the one we have used mostly, it is where there is a bell and the post box.

The house comprises of ;

A large modern fully equipped fitted kitchen at the very top of the house, beautifully light and airy, with a raised cushioned double day bed to regard the views and a large  terrace with spectacular views of Cotignac rooftops and a dramatic landscape spreading out for some 30 miles. There is a folding wall of wooden doors that allow the kitchen to open completely onto the terrace and outdoors. There are three windows to ensure a cooling airflow in summer. .
