Formally owned by the Chateau of Lardiers, where the owners would have brought the lavender from the fields to distil into essence of lavender at the ancient barn, before transporting the oil's to Marseille. Mike & Rosi were able to draw on their years of experience restoring old properties and their former business activities to convert the barn into a domestic accomodation.

Key words: New converted barn, quiet village, local restaurant, central to well known places of interest, private secure garden.

Wundervoller Aufenthalt!
Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit hier! Die Wohnung ist mit sehr viel Liebe eingerichtet und es ist alles da, was man braucht. Die Küche ist einfach großartig, ein fünfflammiger Gasherd unter anderem. Es gibt eine Waschmaschine, einen Trockner und eine Spülmaschine. Das Schlafzimmer und das luxuriöse Bad sind über eine Wendeltreppe in der oberen Etage erreichbar. Trotz hoher Temperaturen, war es in der Wohnung sehr gut auszuhalten. Mike ist ein herzlicher Gastgeber, der uns viele hilfreiche Tipps für Ausflüge in der Umgebung gegeben hat. Direkt gegenüber im Café De Lavande by MoJo kann man gut und günstig essen oder einfach ein Glas Wein trinken. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder!

Der perfekte Ort zum Entspannen
Für alle, die zugleich Ruhe als auch sportliche Aktivität, Kultur und das romantische Leben in einem französischen Dorf suchen, ist dieser Platz genau das Richtige. Die gut ausgebauten Straßen ermöglichen vielfältige Radtouren, sei es zum Kaffeetrinken in das nahegelegene Banon oder für engagierte Radfahrer auch direkt zum Mont Ventoux. Man kann unendliche Wanderungen in den einsamen Hügeln der Umgebung unternehmen oder auch nur einen Abendspaziergang zwischen den betörenden Lavendelfeldern. Wer die Erfrischung in einem See braucht, kann Mike, den wunderbaren Gastgeber, nach den besten Tipps für alle Bedürfnisse fragen. Die Ferienwohnung ist so liebevoll und gemütlich eingerichtet, dass man eigentlich gar nicht wieder nach Hause fahren möchte. Die Städte Banon und besonders Forcalquier bieten besonders in den Sommermonaten wunderschöne Konzerte jeglicher Art an. Das Bistro direkt gegenüber der Ferienwohnung ist vom ersten Moment an ein Ort zum Wohlfühlen – es gibt alles, was der Herz begehrt und das internationale Flair unter Weinranken lässt einen so richtig in Ferienstimmung kommen. Aber man sollte sich auch keinesfalls den Besuch der verschiedenen Wochenmärkte entgehen lassen. Man bekommt so wundervolles Gemüse, Käse, Wurst und noch viel mehr französische Lebensart geboten, woraus sich in der eigenen Küche wunderbare Gerichte zaubern lassen.Und was auch immer man fragen möchte oder braucht – die Gastgeber sind jederzeit hilfsbereit. Wir kommen bestimmt wieder.

idéal pour un couple gîte et environnement calme et préservé
Accueil très chaleureux . Les propriétaires :Rosi et MIke sont adorables ,au petits soins pour vous mais sans exagération. Présents à l étage du dessus mais très discrets ,Ils sont cependant là quand vous en avez .besoin L entrée du gîte est bien séparée du reste de la maison donc grande liberté Appartement de qualité très bien équipé Si l on aime la haute provence et tout ses beaux aspects ainsi que ses randonnées . Le village des Lardiers est bien placé proches des collines du sud et des beaux villages Forqualquier Banon etc ......il est aussi proches des montagnes plus conséquentes La Lure Le massif du col de Fontbelle . On peut dire qu il est un point commode et assez central dans une nature restée sauvage . Pour nous ce fut un régal dans ce petit village charmant.
