Le Gite



Gite: n. A simple, usually inexpensive rural vacation retreat especially in France


We stayed in this lovely 3 bedroom gite on our last trip to France. The owners converted an old farmhouse and made 3 rentals out of it. It was beautifully located on an organic farm on the outskirts of Pelissane (Provence, France).


Jean Louis was able to ride his bike every morning to the local boulangerie for his daily pain au chocolat. It was close enough to also ride bikes to his parents home.

Notice the old fountain on the patio. Can't wait to go back!

That's a beautiful looking place. Here in the states, our old buildings are youngsters compared to some in France.

(I clicked on your link in my blogroll to see if you still had a blog, and see you did post recently. It shows up as a year ago since your last post in my sidebar. I hope things are going well for you.)
