Wind your way up to the hill-top village of Venasque (voted among “Les Plus Beaux Villages de France”), where the Roman stones beneath your feet whisper centuries of Provençal life—and then step through the door of a residence that marries musical pedigree, Moroccan-tile artistry and timeless Provençal charm. That dream becomes reality here in Venasque.


Here are the three remarkable offerings:
1. “Maroc” Duplex (3rd and 4th floors) – Two Bedrooms + Rooftop Terrace
• Spanning two levels, this beautifully appointed duplex includes two proper bedrooms plus a salon level with two small beds—ideal for guests —and one bathroom.
• A covered rooftop terrace invites languid dinners under the Provençal sky, perhaps with a chilled Beaumes-de-Venise in hand.
• Thoughtfully restored: the building once belonged to composer Gail Kubik and was infused with North African tile-work, a signature of the residence’s inner character.
• Accommodation comfortable for 3-4 residents with strong appeal for a pied-à-terre or a rental investment.
• Seating with hand-made North African tiles by composer Gail Kubik.



2. “Taza” Apartment (2nd Floor) – One Bedroom + Extra Guest Rooms
• Designed for two yet flexible: the master suite with en-suite shower room sits alongside a kitchenette and dining area. In addition, two side-by-side bedrooms with a shared bath offer extra space for children or guests.
• Street entrance, light-filled dining room overlooking the main thoroughfare of the village—it’s living inside a Provençal postcard.
• Amenities include WiFi, washing machine/dryer (on the ground-floor utility room).




This property is primed for short-term rental or long-term stay.
3. The Shop (ground level)
• The shop is sold with a rental lease for nine years (three years left).
• A full shower room accompanies the shop.


Why Venasque and Why Now?
• Located in the Vaucluse, Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region, Venasque offers the full range of Provençal delights: Roman history, vineyards, markets, and magically quiet evenings in “un des plus beaux villages.”
• The provenance of the building—restored by an American composer in the ’60s, now owned by a well-known jazz musician since 1986—adds cultural cachet and authenticity.
• If you’ve been searching for that perfect balance—a village setting, renovation heritage, guest-ready layout—these homes stand out.



The price includes all three properties! As the owner, you will be free to renovate and redecorate to combine the spaces as you like. The property is ideal for a vacation rental.
Owning a home here isn’t simply about bricks and tiles—it’s about composing a lifestyle. Picture evenings strolling cobblestone lanes, espresso in hand, the bells of Notre-Dame in Venasque chiming across the valley. Inside, mosaic tiles tell stories—of North Africa, of artistic vision, of Provençal sunsets.

Whether you’re buying a sanctuary, a rental asset or a creative retreat, this is your invitation to change your time-signature in Provence. The baton is in your hands.

P.P.S. At Après-Midi yesterday in Paris, to a full house (!), Lori Zimmer and Maria Krasinski, author and illustrator, shared their third book together, I’m Not Your Muse: Uncovering the Overshadowed Brilliance of Women Artists & Visionaries, which tells the stories of 31 fascinating women who have been diminished or overlooked by the writers of history. The pair are childhood friends originally from Buffalo, New York, with a passion for art, art history, and finding the magic in the history of the cities they live in. What fascinated us was more than just the stories of these amazing women, but of the struggle Lori and Maria are having getting their book recognized by American journals because of the controversial nature of the material…promoting women! It seems that in today’s political climate in the US, promoting women is no longer desirable, and they are going through a very frustrating and disappointing exercise they never dreamed would happen in today’s age of “enlightenment”…much like the women they have written about in their book from a century ago! It’s shocking to say the least, but unfortunately true.
