iad France - Stéphane Thierry offers you: The Manor of Sallèle: An Exceptional Residence in the Heart of an Arts and History Village.

A priest-antiquarian, writer, and friend of stars, he turned the manor into a vibrant cultural hub, welcoming celebrities. The walls still retain the memory of these intellectual exchanges and the poetic jumble that made the village renowned. Living in Tusson is choosing a way of life based on sharing and creation. This medieval village, far from being stuck in the past, is animated by a real daily vitality. Its streets house many artists and artisans who perpetuate excellent know-how, while its local shops and welcoming restaurants create a warm social bond.
