Chez Nous


We’re pretty much installed in our place here and really like it.  You never quite know what you are getting when you rent something via internet but it is even better than expected.  It is on the outskirts of St.-Remy-de-Provence, one of our favorite towns.  It is right next to a big canal that has a couple of waterfalls and a path you can walk or bike along.

That’s our gate on the left


It’s a traditional 18th century house (a “Mas”) with really thick walls.  It’s got plenty of room inside – good thing because our nephew and our god-daughter will be visiting us at the same time.

 And there’s a big yard for Lucca to play fetch.  What else does he need?


The only problem is all the low beams on the second floor.  Were people so much shorter in the 18th century? Was the house built by midgets? 

In any case, I had better learn to be more careful or I will end up with more big bumps on my head like the one I got yesterday.  Either that or I’ll need to start wearing my bike helmet upstairs.

    Is that a swimming pool in the backyard?
    Will you become the Hunchback of Notre Dame in this house?
    Looks like a beret might be the everyday head-dress to protect scalp.
    Enjoying your blog!
