History of our place
La Fraissinède was, at the end of the 19th century, one of the largest wine estates in the region. At the time, many workers lived here, as well as horses. Unfortunately, the Languedoc wine crisis in 1907 was the beginning of a difficult economic period. Many vineyards were abandoned in the years that followed, La Fraissinède was no exception.
Your hosts, Alain and Laurence, bought this estate in 2007 and completely renovated it, in order to revive this place which has so much charm. The gites are the old worker’s houses or barns of the estate.
After many years in the Paris region as computer engineers, in 2007, we realized our dream: leave our stressful life and start accomodating tourists in a beautiful and quiet place. Luckily, we found the domain of La Fraissinède.
We spent 15 years restoring the estate ourselves with passion: interiors, roofs, swimming pool. At the same time, we have welcomed families from all over the world, making wonderful encounters. Some have returned many times, friendships have been born…
We sometimes travel, focusing on hiking and scuba diving.
