We had been looking for over a year for a house full of history to live in with our family. In 2008, we fell in love with this 18th century country house and its outbuildings (cisterns, sheepfold, stable).

Its architecture is typical of the Valensole plateau, with walls made of pebbles from the Durance laid with lime, plastered walls and fireplaces. Its restoration took us 8 years, with difficult moments but also the satisfaction of having given new life to a piece of history...

The space

Gîte du Couchant:

On the Valensole plateau, in the heart of the Haute-Provence region and its lavender fields, in the Verdon Regional Natural Park, we welcome you all year round in our 18th century country house, listed in the general inventory of monuments and artistic treasures of France.

Surrounded by 120 hectares of truffle fields, the Clos de la Tuilerie is located on the edge of the hamlet of Saint-Grégoire, on the old transhumance route (draille) of the herds of Arles.

The calm, authenticity and panoramic view extending from Sainte-Baume to Dévoluy and from Luberon to Verdon characterize this unique place. You will have the opportunity to discover a corner of Provence that is often overlooked with an exceptional climate: more than 300 days of sunshine per year and a sky renowned for its purity, a paradise for amateur astronomers.

You can relax in the garden or by the pool, practice many sports activities (hiking, cycling, horse riding) or cultural activities in the immediate vicinity of the cottage.
