The space Please be aware that due to the climate change, heat waves, and the Mayor office - private non-agricultural residents are not allowed to water green areas during the high season. We have this taken a sustainable approach: letting grasses and flowers to grow tall for bees and butterflies, which we cut only in the fall, once a year. We also leave the falling leaves in place as natural compost. So, some magazine photos will show the property in a less natural state - more a Trump golf course - which we would like to avoid as we are not golfers but landscape and Mediterranean shrub growth protectors. We also have a natural spring water fountain to water some new flowers, for the birds and bees on the upper portion of our site. We keep our pool crystal clean with natural bicarbonate de soude, when temperatures or many swimmers are high small doses of chlorine which we generally avoid! Enjoy the largest bio-pool and bio-bassin in the CAP!
