I am often asked by guests at Bistro Des Copains if La Metairie Neuve, the family farm near Viane in the Tarn region in Southern France is still in the family. I am pleased to say that yes, although it is no longer a working farm, several aunts and uncles live there and a number of cousins have vacation homes on the property.
We always try to go to La Metairie Neuve during our trips to Sablet to visit the family, see the farm and relive fond memories of pleasant times as kids spent at what was for us the happiest place on earth. We have recently had the pleasure of introducing our sons-in-law to La Metairie Neuve.

We have a beautiful stone village house located in the heart of the medieval village of Sablet in the Vaucluse region of Provence France. Dating from the 17th century, the house was renovated by an Italian stone mason with all of the comforts of a modern home while retaining its authentic Provençal character and charm. On this blog, we share experiences from our visits along with those of our families and friends to Sablet and the South of France.
