Provence Home Rental

My home is rented at the moment. But should a possible future rental be of interest to you, feel free to contact me. It is likely that I will be living there again  - at least for the winter months - from the fall of 2021 and will have at least two bedrooms for rent. I will also be renting the full house during the months of June - September.

The house is located on the Ile de la Barthélasse , Avignon - an island in the Rhône River. Super convenient, it is 5 min to town (15 door to door to the closest cinema); 10 minutes from the train station, and easy driving distance to wineries (Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Costières de Nîmes, les Baux de Provence, Gigondas and more), Roman monuments, the Pope's Palace & great schools. Close to everything, but in the quiet country surroundings of wheat fields, fruit orchards and tree covered walking paths by the Rhône. Pets are welcome. FYI - for Tango afficionados, there are numerous milongas each week at an easy drive.  The skill level is high, the welcome warm.
