Maison Pierre-Louis is an elegant and richly appointed home emphasizing comfort, quiet and luxury.

This 15th Century home is rich in an old world rustic charm, with many unspoilt period features, including the grand stone fireplace, Persian rugs, ornate chandeliers and a treasure trove of antique furniture and artworks.
