11 Rue Gay Lussac
11 Rue Gay Lussac is a fully furnished and self contained three-storey home, ideal for holiday accommodation and the perfect way to experience French village life. Comfortably catering for 2-6 people, the house is nestled in the cobbled streets of the Marseillan Centre Ville, only metres from the town square and local port.
About the House
Estimated to be around 300 years old, the three-storey house includes two double bedrooms each with an ensuite, an additional twin/double bedroom, spacious lounge, modern appliances, washing machine and dryer, linen, bedding and extensive storage. A private outdoor courtyard is the perfect area to enjoy alfresco living, complete with barbecue.
Access from the street is direct to the ground floor, which includes an open plan kitchen and dining area, bathroom and laundry. The outdoor courtyard accesses a large covered basement (remise), which contains bikes and beach gear for tenants’ use. A separate street entrance off the remise provides an alternative access for bikes or large luggage items.
The first floor contains the main living room, a large double bedroom with ensuite (toilet, handbasin and shower) and an adjoining twin bedroom overlooking the courtyard. The sunny living room, which overlooks the street, has a large corner sofa unit which converts into an extra double bed if needed.
The top floor attic level contains another large double bedroom with full ensuite (toilet, handbasin and shower). Well set up for couples, this configuration is also ideal for families who have additional guests to stay. Recommended for 2-6 people, the house can sleep up to eight by utilising the sofa bed.
