Mas le Clos Souris

Mas le Clos Souris

Mas le Clos Souris – near the small village of Fons sur Lussan in the southern French département of Gard – was once an artist’s residence. A Hungarian painter named Joseph lived and worked here in this 16th century farmhouse until his death in 2010. The present owners bought the nigh-ruined property in 2013. Through a renovation process that lasted 5 years, they have transformed it into a unique holiday home in which you can still sense the creative atmosphere.

This holiday house forms part of an ensemble with the neighbouring building where the owner and architect lives.
