Sospel, House in nature.

Mas du Ghiou, a lovely house in beautiful nature. Recently completely renovated and equipped with every comfort. Large living room-kitchen, bedroom with great beds and wardrobe and a bathroom with rain shower. The origin of the house is a watermill that was already described in the seventeenth century. The millstones are still there. The stream that used to provide the water supply runs 15 m from the house. The rustling of the crystal clear water accompanies you in the evening when you fall asleep. The space The valley of the Ghiou is part of the large nature reserve Parc de Mercantour with peaks up to 2300 m and famous for its thousands of rock engravings and beautiful lakes in the Vallee des Merveilles. For a number of years, wolves have also lived there, a source of much discussion in the Nice Matin between supporters and opponents. The inhabited world is not far away. In 5 minutes you are on the terrace in the village/town. Always a place. Sospel is a very old town with once twenty thousand inhabitants and a university. It owed its importance to the salt route to the tanneries in Turin. The old bridge with its two arches over the Bevera, a stunning example of asymmetrical symmetry, has been a toll bridge. The Italian border is close by. The town has a cathedral that has recently been restored and was consecrated again by three bishops in 2014. Regularly on Sundays, there are choirs or orchestras that come to play there in connection with the provincial cultural stimulation. For all your groceries, you can go locally. Through a small mountain pass, you can reach the "Cote". With half an hour you can walk under the palm trees on the boulevard of Menton, Perle de France. Accompanied by the eternal rolling waves and the cries of the gulls. A "must", especially for the ladies, is the Friday market in Ventimiglia (Italy). Bags and more bags. The antique market in Vieux Nice on Monday is also a busy phenomenon. Prefer something more mundane? Cafe de Paris next to the Casino in Monte Carlo. In Sospel, you will find several nice restaurants where you can eat delicious food for a fair price. But drive half an hour and also settle down on a terrace on the Mediterranean Sea in Menton, Monaco or Nice. Of course, you also have the Italian coast at your disposal.
