Some House Pictures of Provence

Many of the houses in the south of France are made of field stone. In the first photo, we have a hilltop village house that has been modernized and updated.


The second picture is a farmhouse in a hammeau or a farming village compound.

Both of these construction techniques show a use of the indigenous building materials that make the domiciles part of the terroir.

I consider these buildings to be beautiful.

Pool at a Heritage House

Most of the better houses have pools for the hot Provencal summers. This is a gorgeous pool located at a heritage house (with a gite attched) in the northern part of Provence.
