We spent our working lives in global business travel, travelling extensively with the South of France always being a favourite destination. In 2009, whilst based in Hong Kong, we purchased our house in Bram and spent 2 years restoring the property to its original features and to a modern standard, converting it to a family home. Having taken early retirement we decided to share our home by offering Bed and Breakfast. Paul is an English and Petra a Swiss national, speaking English, German and French.

Coup de Coeur is an ideal place to relax, enjoy the outdoors and the swimming pool, whilst having all local amenities and restaurants on their doorstep. This 19th century property has been renovated to today's living standards yet kept its original style with elegant décor throughout the house. Grand and spacious bedrooms with en suites shower/WC/sink, elegant separate breakfast/dining room and a large lounge. Modern amenities like WiFi, Laptop, Sky TV and European Satellite Orange TV are available for our guests. EXCLUSIVE use for our guests of the enclosed south facing garden with PRIVATE POOL (heated April-June/September-October). The large Patio encourages out-door living. You will find a mobile slide into the Pool for the youngsters (and the young at heart).

The property is situated in the attractive market town of Bram which lies along the Canal du Midi and has many shops, restaurants, bars, bakeries, butchers etc. as well as a weekly farmers market on Wednesday morning.
