Domaine de Brousson...

is a 200 year old stone house of magnificent proportions built on the site of the 16 th century Chateau de Brousson. It is known as a 'Maison de Maitre' which translates as a 'Gentlemen's residence' built for a wealthy winemaker and landowner of the village.

The back terrace to the side of the house is part of the 11 th century Abbey de Joncels with original stone porticos and a feeling of peace and tranquility to match. This extends into the large garden dominated by a two hundred year old cedar giving essential shade during the long hot summers.

Wine was made in the vaulted room below (which is now a 'salle de fetes' - reception and party room) and the cement fermentation tanks remain a feature in the garden.

The bedrooms are all ensuite and tastefully decorated in keeping with the character of the house. There is a fully stocked library (and cellar!)and many chairs for relaxation and reflection. Wine and refreshments can be purchased to enjoy in the surroundings.

Situated almost next to the River Orb, a two minute stroll finds you at the beautiful Roman bridge joining one of the paths of Santiago de Compostella (GR 7) from where you can wander along the river or through the vineyards.
