A nice house in southern France, just by the river (Rhône)
It is a nice 120 sqm2, very well equipped - We have only 3 rooms (one for each level), that is to say that each one is very large.
The whole home was rebuilt six years ago by us, so it is in great shape and a beautiful home.
Beautiful surroundings near the Rhone ( 35 meters ! )
Two living rooms, two kitchens. A bathroom with a shower. A 12 m2 terrace at the second level of the house.
1 large bedroom (A large bed for 2 people)
1 sofa if necessary for 2 more people in the second living room.
A TV (+DVD, HiFi, Wifi)
Our house is large, and cosy, very comfortable. The area is well located (by the river side, near the countryside (1km on foot)) and very close to center of city (500 meters on foot !). In a very quiet neighborhood.
Our home is located in Arles (Provence), but on the right side of the river, that is to say out of the center of the city, and very close to it (7’ on foot).
Provence starts here. The sea is 32km far.
Arles is a small french city with 45.000 residents inside the city and 15 000 in Camargue (a very large and natural area, look at the map). With many museums, romans monuments, festivals (music, photo, theater) in the City of Arles and in Provence. Strong nature is everywhere (Camargue is protected)
We are a family of two, Martine Thomas (75), a musician; Michel Rostain (80), a writer.
