A white house above a quiet cove

Twelve rooms, two villas and a restaurant on the rocks of Cap Solenne, a short walk from the old harbour.

Thirty-eight summers by the sea

Hélène and Marc Duval bought the old fisherman's house on the point in 1987, with a roof that leaked and a view nobody could put a price on.

It is still a family house. Twelve rooms look over the water, breakfast is on the terrace under the pines, and the cove below is ours to share with whoever swims out to it.

We close in winter to mend what the sea has taken and open again when the water is warm enough to swim.

We woke every morning to the sound of the water and fell asleep to it. In between, the best fish we have ever eaten.

Hélène remembered our names, our coffee and that our daughter could not swim yet. By the end of the week she could.

A day on Mistral to the islands was the best day of the year. Lunch at anchor, a swim, and home on the evening wind.
