One of the trees in the garden has a wonderful ‘horse’ swing which children love.
The house was built as the last house allowed when the area became designed as the Luberon Regional Park and as such is beautifully quiet with local wildlife- deer, red squirrels, eagles and wild boar the only neighbours..
