Saint-Julien-d'Asse

Discover the small village of Saint Julien d'Asse in Alpes de Haute-Provence, France

High above the river Asse, clinging to the hillside, Saint Julien d'Asse enjoys a pleasant location and view over the valley. Close to the hamlet, St Julien d'Asse's absolute calm has attracted a few Belgians and Germans who are apparently restoring old houses.

A quiet village full of charm

It's easy to understand why, with its winding, staircase-like alleyway, covered passageway, old washhouse, superb old stone houses topped with Roman tiles, shady gardens where succulents and climbing roses thrive, a few beautiful doors from the last century, olive trees and lavender in clumps, a bit of fresh air and birdsong.

Many renovated houses

Who wouldn't want to set down their suitcase in Saint Julien d'Asse, buy a dilapidated barn and turn it into an authentic little gem, respecting the local style of beautiful stonework and lavender-colored shutters! And the price per square meter isn't the same as in Gordes!

What is the altitude of Saint-Julien d'Asse and the nearby peaks?
