ABOUT US
Emilie & Jack
We've lovingly restored this home spending as much time as possible working remotely from Gabian and taking the time to explore the surrounding National Parks, coastline, the world-class cities and quaint small towns, all while sampling the outstanding wines of the Languedoc region.
Due to unforeseen circumstances we're sad to be giving up a place we've considered our home-away-from-home and hope to find a buyer who will cherish it as much as we have.
