Maison Jaquaire



The other half of the house now known as maison Jaquaire, was a house originally built as a safe haven for the pilgrims travelling to St. Jaques de Compostelle in northern Spain.
On the right hand corner of the house you'll find the scallop shell "Jacquaire" which symbolised a house where pilgrims on their long and arduous journey would be welcome.

The front door and window of the house resemble a shop window (that was its last use - we believe a bicycle shop) and opens directly into the very sunny dining room with large dining table to seat up to 6 people. The traditional furniture, pictures and accessories complement the original languedocienne staircase at the far end of the room leading directly upstairs to the first floor studio room.

 

The first room at the top of the stairs is a bright double aspect room which doubles up as a sitting room and extra bedroom. It contains a wet bar making entertaining easy!

The other rooms fan out from here featuring the main bedroom, with wood laminated flooring, opening onto the bathroom. The 2nd small bedroom (ideal as a dressing room) opens onto the same bathroom

The rooms are all quite 'quirky' with uneven floors with their quaint windows and doors; all in character with the ancient history of the house.

Maison jaquaire is charmingly decorated with a mixture of traditional antique and modern furniture complementing each other to create a very cosy 'ambience'.

See for yourself......













The two original glazed doors open directly from the dining room in sharp contrast to the newly refitted modern kitchen with white ceramic gas hob and matching electric oven. There is a large fridge, washing machine, dishwasher, microwave and all the smaller appliances you would ever need. You can step out of the kitchen to a tiny outside gravelled space, with plants and a couple of chairs, which we think was originally a small lane featuring two beautiful stone arches - there is enough space to bar-b-que.

The large garage is accessible from here.
