LE MANOIR DE MONFLANQUIN

OVERVIEW

In a landscape shimmering with orchards, this fine 1865 manor house stands in its own park of chestnuts and limes, overlooking summer sunflowers and hilltop Monflanquin.  Inside are space, sunshine and an uncluttered, immaculate décor.  Up the stone steps to the front door you enter a large hallway off which lie large rooms:  a salon with pale plain walls, parquet floor and big windows to the garden; a billiard room with TV & games console, perfect for kids; a dining room with two tables and marble fireplace; and a well-equipped kitchen with contemporary fittings and masses of light.   A wide wood and iron balustrade staircase spirals up to six bedrooms spread over two floors, all neutral tones, crisp white linen, spacious and unique.  With a south-facing pool lined with loungers and table tennis on the terrace, the manoir is an excellent choice for a party of families.  What’s more, you’re a 20-minute walk away from one of “les plus beaux villages de France”: medieval Monflanquin is full of little shops and restaurants and a vibrant farmers’ market in the square on Thursdays.
