Behind the arched blue door lies a restored 15th-century silk mill, its vaulted cellar rooms intact. It is an Aladdin's cave, an intoxicating mix of French, English, Moroccan and Indian treasures. Escape the blistering heat into this cool, calm space; the village is cooly perched in the foothills of the Cévennes and you are in the middle of it. No garden, but a peaceful gravelled courtyard with chairs for dozing, a barbecue, a fountain and a summer shower. Inside, your gaze drifts to mellow yellow-washed walls, tiles - the best of old and new - and lofty ceilings. The sitting room is cavernous but is cosy in wintertime: a wood-burning stove, William Morris-covered armchairs, comfy sofas, books, an upright piano. Arched doors lead from the well-equipped kitchen into the courtyard where you may eat. Up a floor and those lofty old silk rooms have magically become bedrooms.
