Aix en Provence Residence

Good morning to all of you dear readers. Monday takes us to this magnificent 18th century “Bastide” in Aix en Provence, in the region of Provence-Alpes- Cote d'Azure, France. It has twenty-five acres of private parklands with olive groves and cypresses, complete with a care-taker’s lodge and numerous additional outbuildings. Situated in a beautiful and quiet countryside location and only three hours from Paris.

I must say the house itself is breathtaking, I love these solid old houses with their splendid gardens but I don't care much for the decor. Wouldn't you change the furniture in the living room and dining room? Let me know what you think.

  3. Lovely home and property. I agree, I don't dig the furniture either. A correction: Aix en Provence is not in the Cote d'Azur.

  5. Thanks all of you for your comments. Frenchee, I rushed to wikipedia and ths is what I found:

    I quote: "Aix-en-Provence (Provençal Occitan: Ais de Provença in classical norm, or Ais de Prouvènço in Mistralian norm, both pronounced [ˈajs de pʀuˈvɛⁿsɔ] or [zaj])[citation needed] to distinguish it from other cities built over hot springs, is a city in southern France, some 30 km (19 mi) north of Marseille. It is in the region of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, in the department of Bouches-du-Rhône."

  6. Hello Kifus!

    What a wonderful place to live! I could have done a lot of not-so-nice things to have been able to live there, haha! But I agree with you, the interior is not suitable to the house at all. (But I must admit that I feel that many of these furniture does not fit in anywhere..)Just like you, I think the dining room differed especially out, and I mean not on the whole better way..
    Fortunately, furnitures can be replaced fairly easily :) I must say Kifus, I admire your talent to find beautiful homes and present them on your blog, and you have no idea how much your posts inspires me! Keep ut the good work :)
