The second ad : a priory of the Xè century in the south of Lyon
Edifié au Xè siècle sous l’autorité de l’abbé de Cluny, à 20 minutes du centre de Lyon, le prieuré flanqué de trois tours est bordé par 1,3 hectare de terres.
Built in the Xth century under the authority of the Abbot of Cluny, 20 minutes from downtown Lyon, the priory flanked by three towers is surrounded by 1.3 hectares of land.

When at dawn, the sun lingers on the hills overlooking the village and caresses the old vine-covered hill, let the wandering mind is easily carried away by his imagination and the history of places.

The wine cellar is an exhilarating room with plenty of racks for wine storage.
As you make the adventure up the stone spiraling staircase, the feeling of finally reaching the top comes to your understanding that you are in the tall castle tower. This tower brings you to all rooms through all the different levels it reaches.
Views from every room stand out as you walk on the all oak flooring of the upstairs section of this Castle.
The first floor (ground level) gives you the greatness feeling when you soak in all the eye candy. From the granite stone floors to the 12 foot ceiling (4 meters) to the 12 foot Lobby width and the 75 foot long you feel like royalty.
The rooms presented on the first floor are the kitchen, one large living room, one large dining room with huge 9 feet wood dining table, another huge living room with great accented decor, a bath room and the fully glazed orangery room(winter garden room to bring in the plants for winter time so plants/trees don’t catch frost bite).

The living room has a marbled and great designer carved wood fire place and is laced with historical three dimensional wood diamond flooring made by a great 18th century furniture artist named Jean Francois HACHE.
