HISTORY
Our comfortable 1 bedroom apartment is nested within the village medieval walls erected over 1200 years ago to fight the Saracen invasions. Around the 17 century the villagers started to use the walls as residences opening windows and passage ways.
Fayence was also a well sought after place since Roman times for its gentle climate, pure waters, rich soils and location. The Romans built aqueducts (still functioning) to bring water from the Alps and used the local clay to make the still famous Faience pottery.

We are a relaxed friendly couple. Being a combination of French and Kiwi culture makes for an appreciation of food, wine, the outdoors and people. We love to travel and hear about others' adventures.
