La maison du mûrier is a typical, completely renovated, French village house, which is tucked away in the heart of a delightfully friendly village. The house gets its name from the tree which provides welcome shade to the south facing sunny terrace. The house enjoys complete privacy yet to enjoy the intriguing sight of the French collecting fresh produce each morning from the shop which is directly across from our house is to step back in time. Step back to a time of life at a leisurely pace with time for courtesy and a leisurely chat. 

The spacious accommodation is on two floors and is laid out as follows:

 

Ground Floor
Main entrance	The double glazed entrance door is secure and wide. It leads to a tiled entrance hall with hall stand. Ahead is the wooden staircase which leads to the first floor. Up a 30 cm step is the kitchen with its own door out to the terrace beyond.
Kitchen	There is a stylish fully fitted kitchen with a tall fridge freezer, a microwave oven  and a 4 ring ceramic hob with extractor fan and light above. There is a strip light  under the cupboards and above the sink. There is a dishwasher. (it is a holiday) There is a generous supply of crockery and kitchen utensils. There is a round table and four chairs for the very few days when it is preferable to eat indoors.  The floor is tiled.
Lounge	The lounge has a spacious feel. The floor is tiled. There is a wood burning fire and mantle piece. The style is Ikea meets Emhaus. There is a fairly large library of recent paperbacks. There is a CD / stereo unit  as well as a DVD player ( some recent DVD's ) and a TV which receives French TV and free to air Sky channels including BBC. On one side of  of the lounge is a bed sofa which folds easily into a comfortable full sized double bed.

Shower room	The shower room has a spacious  feel to it. The sink, shower and toilet areas are separated from each other. The shower tray is 120 cm wide so there is plenty of elbow room.  The walls and floor are completely tiled. There is a vanity unit  sink and a mirror with shaver unit  and lights above.

Terrace	The terrace is completely tiled. It extends to around 40m2  It has a large table and 6 chairs are provided. The murier tree provides the necessary shade. The terrace faces south.  The terrace is generally bug free and we often sit out after dark enjoying the balmy temperature of the southern French summer. There is an outside light but we generally  prefer the ambience of candlelight.
