About the host

Hosted by Jean-François Piazzoli

Host profile image
I'm a retired of 67 years and I worked in the pharmaceutical industry. When I retired I had to find an activity. The restoration of this 13th century medieval castle satisfied all my needs.
Practically, when you restore a castle, in ruins as this, there is no ready recipe; every time you have to think for find the best solution, or the least bad; and is this continuous consideration that is exciting.

Why they chose this property

When I stopped my activity I wanted to change region, have more sun and especially be quite. And you will see why here is the right place.
Additionally it is a 13th century medieval castle!!!

What makes this property unique

First of all, the environment: in a valley of the Cévennes that descend from the plateau to 1100 m to reach the plain on Vans.
The castle is slightly in height in relation to this valley e the view is fantastic.
Then, the castle itself with all its past; defensive fortress inhabited by the lords of Longueville since 1260.
Finally, it is quiet. Don't come here for dancing, you will be disappointed. You also should plan your shopping, because the first mall is 30 min away.
