On the ground level you enter into the main dining/kitchen area with modern appliances and an impressive open fire. Through the door straight ahead you will find the large living room with an equally impressive fireplace (with wood burner) and a glimpse of the enchanting private garden from the window. There is also a private double bedroom on this level with en-suite toilet and small balcony.

A few practical points; This property is pet friendly on arrangement, please confirm any four-legged friends on booking. It is also important to stress that this property is very old so the odd cobweb may be found, there are exposed stone walls which do create more dust than usual, in points the floors are uneven. Finally due to the size of Les Figues a fuel surcharge is required for bookings November - April inclusive, this is requested on booking, you may find this house to be a little chilly during the colder months therefore would recommend that you purchase wood for your stay, this can be bought from most supermarkets and brico stores.
Interior layout Spread over three levels with a bedroom on each. Living room, kitchen and dining area are located on the ground level. Master bedroom and access to private garden and terrace are found on the lower ground floor.

We went to the night market and loved the village shop and La Part des Anges restaurant. Most of all though we loved just strolling round the fairy tale village and sitting by the river in the evening
