"House" is an understatement... The pope used to visit this house, and the church on the property is one of the 2 oldest in France (Tourists were stopping by all the time to take photos)
The church is so old, Pagan services were done there before catholicism came to that area!
(aka - It's probably haunted)
I have talked about this house to a lot of people in the past, even though I have never been there, so I wanted to dedicate a posting to "The Mas" so everyone can see what I am talking about.
('La Mas du Chapelle St.-Sixte' is the official name of the house)
This is the church that sits on the Property

The Kitchen where James (our host) cooked us 3 amazing meals a day.
(He went to 'Le Cordon Bleu' and everything he cooks shows it)

That was QUITE a way to start our vacation. We haven't even been here a week and it feels like we have done so much!! Jennifer and James were the most gracious and generous hosts I have ever had the pleasure of staying with. I would try to describe their level of hospitality, but any attempt would not do it justice! Thank you again James and Jennifer! That was a stay Courtney and I will honestly never forget!
