Malaucène, 10 Bedrooms - 540 m² House for sale

At the foot of Mont Ventoux, not far from the magnificent town of Vaison la Romaine, this place steeped in history is unique: a former Benedictine priory dating from the 12th century, it still bears the characteristic marks of this period, and was also the home of a renowned French novelist in the late 20th century.

Its transformation over the centuries has preserved all its character and charm while respecting the ancient stones. The spirit of the place is unparalleled, with a very Provencal signature.
