Perched on the second floor of a characterful traditional stone village building without elevator, the property enjoys an authentic Provencal setting with immediate access to all village amenities.

A major asset of the apartment is its dual-aspect cross-layout (traversant), which fills every room with abundant natural light throughout the day and allows for refreshing natural cross-ventilation. The living area opens directly onto a private south-facing balcony offering sweeping, open views across the tree-lined square, the historic chapel and bell tower, and the green hillsides of the Paillon valley.

Occupying the second floor, the apartment features an optimized interior layout of 42 m2 Loi Carrez and 47 m2 total floor area, making efficient use of every square meter.

The entrance opens into the central living room, finished with light wood flooring and a contemporary stone-effect accent wall. The open-plan layout connects fluidly into the functional fitted kitchen. From the living room, double glass doors lead out onto the south-facing balcony (3 m2), an inviting outdoor space perfect for morning coffee or outdoor dining while taking in the open village and mountain views.

Conveniently positioned off the living area is the fully modernized shower room with WC, finished in sleek contrasting tiles and equipped with a walk-in shower, an integrated vanity unit, and a heated towel rail. A built-in cupboard under the stairs provides practical storage space.

The sleeping area comprises two bright bedrooms located on the opposite side.
