Description - Authentically Restored Medieval Village House
La Belle Ancienne (Ancient Beauty) keeps to its name; exposed stonework, large wooden beams, a classic winding staircase from cellar to roof terrace, traditional French mantlepiece, marble sink and original tiles preserve the antiquity and charm of its medieval character. The house is nestled in the oldest part of Assignan (936 AD), built on a hill near St Chinian, in the heart of a region steeped in history, as well as wine: the Languedoc.
Have a look through the eyes of guests who have stayed there previously. There are several veritable reviews on La Belle's website (labelleancienne.com) where you may also find numerous photos and slide shows of the house and surrounding area. The site itself has been rated excellent as far as content, visibility and navigational ease.
