Live the Provençal Dream: Two Unique Homes + Shop in Venasque

All three properties: 216.61 m2 (approx. 2,331.5 sq ft)
85 Gr Grand Rue
Venasque, Vaucluse, France

If you dream of creating a life—or creating an investment—in a historic village in Provence, this unique mixed-use property is meant for you.

Venasque, a medieval town perched above the dramatic Nesque Valley, is classified as one of “Les Plus Beaux Villages de France” (The Most Beautiful Villages of France). And rightfully so. Beyond its obvious Provençal charm and cobbled lanes, this little village, with a large American expat community, has wonderful restaurants, artist studios, and interesting shops with everything you need to make a comfortable life—or create an attractive guest property.

Centrally located near the Mairie (Town Hall) and the tourism office, the property enjoys an ideal vantage point for exploring the village and the surrounding areas.

Its guest-ready layout is ideal for vacation rentals (its current use), and the shop is occupied, which offers immediate income. Or you might prefer to design your dream home in this Provençal paradise, combining the spaces as you desire. There are many possibilities.

A Building with a Musical Pedigree 

Thoughtfully restored by the American composer Gail Kubik in the 1960s, and currently owned by a well-known jazz musician, the property’s interiors feature handmade North African tilework, creating a warm and lyrical atmosphere that blends perfectly with its Provençal surroundings.

About the Location

Venasque: Steeped in Rich History and Natural Beauty

Located in the Vaucluse, Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region, Venasque has been inhabited since prehistoric times and boasts Romanesque towers from the 3rd century among its listed historic monuments, which also includes a 6th-century baptistery—the oldest in France. But you’ll also love the vineyards and markets, and spending your evenings strolling cobblestone lanes while the bells of the 12th century Notre-Dame de Venasque church chime across the valley.
