Clos de la Tuilerie, le Couchant | House in Valensole
3 Bedroom House in Valensole
Summary:
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.
Completely restored in 2012 and classified three ears of corn by Gîtes de France, the Levant cottage, with a surface area of 120m2, offers atypical volumes (vaulted room on the ground floor, high ceilings on the first floor).
It has an exceptional view of the garden, and beyond, on the Plateau de Valensole and the Southern Prealps, from the Pic de Bure (91 km) to the Verdon.
Functional and very comfortable, it can accommodate four people and has a separate entrance, a terrace and a garden.

The cottage is rented with bed linen and bath towels.
- Outdoor facilities:
In front of the cottage, you will find a private garden, furniture (table, chairs, deckchairs, parasol) and a barbecue.

The Neighborhood:
The country house is located on the Valensole plateau (the lavender plateau), at the entrance to the hamlet of Saint-Grégoire, whose origins date back to the Neolithic period. It is surrounded by fields and truffle oaks. All around the house you can see the Lure mountain, the Pre-Alps, Mount Chiran, Ste-Baume and even Mount Ventoux on a clear day.
Calm, tranquility and a 360° view are the charm of this hamlet and the country house.
Other Things to Note:
The sky is remarkably clear: ideal for astronomy evenings!
