18 RUE JEAN JAURES
 

“A perfect blend of modern and ancient.”

 
     

OUR PROPERTIES: YOUR HOME AWAY FROM HOME

Important Background

Nestled in the charming town of Toulouges, population 6,000 in the South of France, at 18 rue Jean Jaures lies your new home away from home.

This historic stone house was constructed by local artisans in the time-honored tradition of quality craftsmanship. Local building materials of thick river rock and Catalan bricks impart an authentic patina to the 200 to 400-year-old structure. Many of the original architectural details remain intact.

If you have always longed for a home with character and a rich history, welcome to Notre Maison dans Toulouges. The house has been completely updated with every modern convenience and comfort without detracting from its charming old world style. We think it is the perfect marriage of new and old.
