Set in the heart of a vibrant southern French village, Maison Ruisseau is an attractively renovated 19th-century home with a courtyard swimming pool. Close to vineyards of Languedoc and just 25 minutes from the Mediterranean coast, this charming home is ideal for guests seeking authentic village life with plenty to explore across the region.

Across two floors, the home works well for families or small groups. On the ground floor, a king-size bedroom and a modern shower room provide easy access and privacy.

The open-plan living and dining room is a welcoming spot for relaxed evenings, with two further bedrooms ensuring there’s space for all.

Back downstairs, step outside to the private courtyard and you’ll find an 8-metre pool surrounded by sun loungers, a great spot to cool off after time out exploring.
