The cottage is located in the
centre of Assignan, a quiet and charming village eight kilometres
south-west of Saint-Chinian. The front door leads into the living room. To the left is the custom built kitchen corner, which is equipped with a two ring gas stove, electric oven, washing machine, coffee maker, toaster and kettle, as well as a fridge. The old French dresser to one side holds glasses, china and crockery.

The dining table has a folding leaf and spare chairs in case you want to entertain. At the back of the room is the sitting area, which is comfortably furnished with a two seater sofa. A fireplace in the corner will give the room a lovely glow on cool nights. The lane at the front of the house is closed to traffic and only used by the occasional pedestrian. A table and two chairs allow you to make the most of outside living and dining.


Ascend the wooden stairs and
on the first floor where you reach the bedroom and en-suite shower room. The bedroom contains a
double bed and night tables, a wardrobe and a full length mirror. The writing desk will allow you to work on your computer if necessary, and there is a television on a chest of drawers.
A telephone allows you to receive incoming calls, and make outgoing calls by means of a pre-paid phone card. The bedroom is light and airy with a sloping ceiling (with skylight) and the small window overlooks the lane at the front of the house.


The bathroom is equipped with a hydro therapy shower cabin with multiple jets, a WC and a marble wash basin. A heated towel rail allows for the luxury of warm towels. This room is also lit by a sky light.
More about Assignan
Assignan is an ancient village first mentioned in 936. Today there are approx. 140 inhabitants and the village has a post office and a variety of daily visiting shops. There is also a communal tennis court which can be used for a small fee. Saint-Chinian, which is only a short drive away, provides all the shops and restaurants.
Just a short walk from La Petite Maison you can find a number of wineries, all of which produce excellent wine (some organic and even bio dynamic!), which can be tasted and bought locally. The endless vineyards give rhythm and colour to the undulating hills and valleys throughout the year, from pale green in the spring to the russet and gold colours of the autumn.
A little further down the road you will find marked walks, which explore the wonderful open countryside which surrounds Assignan.
With its calm and tranquil atmosphere, Assignan is ideally placed for a relaxing holiday, exploring the surrounding garrigue, enjoying the local wine or venturing further afield to explore all the Midi has to offer.
