We simply love this developer who focuses on developing authentic villas using traditional materials and craftsmanship. They are designed using a subtle blend of ancient and contemporary to produce spectacular effect and a timeless charm. We also like this developer in that it chooses exceptional locations in the Languedoc countryside, preferring sites on the edge of typical and authentic villages in unspoilt areas like the CorbiÃ¨res, Minervois, parts of the Haut-Languedoc and along the Canal du Midi, far away from mass tourism.
