Nestling in a valley with wooded slopes stretching right down to the banks of the Siagne, the old mill is only visible to those who know it is there, which now includes guests too. It is the perfect picture of a mill as we would imagine it: clear river water murmuring as it swirls down between the exposed rocks, a narrow stone bridge that spans the river where sacks of wheat were once carried across on the backs of mules, the cool shady natural surroundings that protect it from the scorching Provencal summer sun, the building built from typical regional stone. This image which is a feat for the eyes of any artist, doesn't give away anything about the interior, which holds many surprises. The white in every room is enhanced by a few touches of colour and the light wood of the furniture, and matched by the nuances of the travertine stone or the white parquet floors, bringing an unexpected sparkle to the two adjoining houses. Two worlds come together in a beautiful balance, respectful of the past yet meeting the demands of modern comfort.
