About us

While searching for a charming house, we fell in love with the Uzège area, a land of fields, vineyards, and scrubland, and with this 17th-century stone village house, where the painter Luis Alvarez lived. Since early 2020, we have renovated and set up our house, the ceramics studio, and this self-contained gîte.
