Our Story
As early as the 15th century, the Roux family was given the rights by the Pope to use the river for a flour mill, called la Roque. For over 350 years, the same owners ran this ancient flour mill and it grew to a grand status. Now called Le Moulin de la Roque (mill by the rock) Guy and Gaby have renovated these historic buildings once used to serve this flour mill into tasteful cottages and vacation villas.
We are Guy and Gaby, your hosts at Moulin de la Roque in Noves Provence France. Guy came from Belgium over 25 years ago searching for an estate in France where he could relax, engage in some agriculture and enjoy the provencal lifestyle and mild weather. He found such a place in the Moulin de la Roque. An historique flour mill (dating back as far a the 15th century), located in the countryside, in walking distance to the small village of Noves but onlly 15 to 20 minutes from Saint Remy and Avignon.
When Guy discovered the Moulin, he found it magical, nestled up to a mountain and rock cliff and surrounded by a lovely river. There were fields of orchards and a small vineyard. However, with the exception of the large manor house/chateau, most of it was in ruins. Being an engineer by education, Guy had no hesitation to begin a renovation of the property which continues even today.
Guy met Gabrielle (Gaby), an American, 15 years ago when she came as a guest to the Moulin with some artists to paint. Air France had lost her luggage for over 10 days. At that time she spoke little French so he of course helped her to retrieve it. Thanks to Air France, she has never left.! Some say she is still there waiting for her luggage to arrive.
Guy and Gaby are passionate about their mill and their Provence and love sharing both with their guests.
