Stay in the beautiful Medieval, picturesque, post card perfect village of Soreze in the south of France in a 3 bedroom, 2 bath stone home. Soréze is 1 ½ hours drive from Toulouse Airport and 45 minutes to Carcassone Airport. Step inside; join a jamboree of colors, textures, light, and mischievousness. Immerse yourself in the spirit of artist/owner Carole Rae Watanabe and what she has created. The home is both ancient and young; each wall, beam, rail, floor, stairwell, dances with color and energy. The outdoor patio sings effervescently through the throat of its fountain. Its three stories, capped by the top floor gallery, offers a separate stage and experience. 

Come soak up the incredible quality of life and spiritual beauty of the unspoiled rural Languedoc Region. Immerse yourself in an environment that feels like a cross between a stage set and a painting by Van Gogh. The history of the area is reflected in the one-of-a-kind paintings, sculptures and mosaic work throughout the house.

A perfect home base for day trips to ancient hill-towns, local vineyards and wine tasting, the Toulouse Lautrec Museum and an extraordinary variety of both upscale and country cuisine.

The village of Soréze, founded on the site of an 8th century abbey is just large enough to support three bakeries, two small markets, a jazz brasserie and two restaurants specializing in local cuisine. Soréze epitomizes the "small is beautiful" model of life, it beckons you to another time and state of mind that leaves you with feelings of bliss and solace.
