The House
The House is a historical heritage with a contemporary spirit and a garden like no other
Located in the very heart of the village, the House is one of the emblematic historical buildings of Vic sur Cère. With its look like a little chateau, the House dates from the 16th century (1598) and was the urban property pertaining to the Pagès des Huttes family, one of the village public figures.
1768. François Pagès des Huttes is the king’s counselor and public prosecutor at Vic’s courts.
One of his sons, Jean François (a.k.a. ‘le Chevalier des Huttes’), is a bodyguard at Versailles castle, on duty during the night of the 5th October, 1789. He will be slaughtered and decapitated by the revolutionaries after facilitating, together with another fellow, the queen’s escape.
The House has been registered in the French Supplementary List of Historical Monuments (ISMH).
The House has been lovingly restored respecting its anachronistic style, creating a harmony between the oldest and more recent elements and the resolutely contemporary and inspired interior design.
The garden is atypical, with different worlds changing with the seasons. It's both a vast ornamental kitchen garden (a garden that can be eaten) and a landscaped park to live.
