luxury houseboat for sale Vaucluse, France

Moored on Île Piot, this charming barge brilliantly combines vintage grace and modern comfort, peaceful environment and Avignon's urban liveliness. The footbridge surrounded by the foliage of the bank gives access to the vast upper deck converted into a terrace with integrated swimming pool, facing the fascinating scene of the powerful waters of the river and its exceptional view of the city. The 200m2 dwelling is divided into 2 distinct and complementary spaces, the 1950s-style captain's office and the lower loft-style deck, dedicated to work and sleeping space.
