Les Taillades

Elayne Murphy, RHF's agent for the Luberon and my good friend, just sold this wonderful property in Les Taillades:
As you can see it is a fabulous house (The marina Artists team had tremendous fun painting it! The above one is done by Cathie, tomorrow in the Dutch version you'll see Marina's version) with a tennis court and an idyllic pool and with a great view of the Luberon. The sellers are Scots and the buyers are from New York and Elayne tells me they are both very nice people... And are the new owners lucky!
Because - What a great place to live is Les Taillades: a small village, 4 km east of Cavaillon - with a population of around 1900 people.
Located within the Luberon regional park, les Taillades is surrounded by a beautiful landscape and it has kept its Medieval charm: until the 19th century it was an important stone quarrying center. (Les Taillades means "the Cuts" referring to where it was built on the quarries).
These quarries were abandoned at the end of the 19th century and have now been transformed into an open air theater! Every August it is used for a festival with dance, theater and concerts. And of course it also has the lovely bakery with fresh croissants and baguettes, a market, flowers and shops with quality food. And restaurants and terraces where you can sip a nice glass of wine or an espresso in the sun under the plane trees...
