View from Patio
 
Description: Here is a view of the Cevennes from the upper patio. The patio may be one of the greatest areas of the house. The stairs lead up to it and from here, one can enter the bedrooms, the bathroom, or a mystery window.
 
 
Vision: This is a great spot to set up a small table and enjoy a baguette with jam and a cup of cappucino in the open air with beautiful views.
