About this property

Moulin de la Roque Noves - Les Cigales 5 Bedroom Villa

Please see additional reviews on the internet by searching, Moulin de la Roque, Noves.

As early as the 15th century, the Roux family was given the rights by the Pope to use the river for a flour mill, called la Roque. For over 350 years, the same owners ran this ancient flour mill and it grew to a grand status. Now called Le Moulin de la Roque (mill by the rock) Guy and Gaby have renovated these historic buildings once used to serve this flour mill into tasteful cottages and vacation villas. Authentic with original beams, stone walls, and crisp plastered wall,

Les Cigales was converted from an old barn where the grain was stored in the old mill. Guy has cleverly incorporated five large bedrooms, four baths, a spacious fully equipped kitchen with two refrigerators and a five burner gas stove. Les Cigales retains its old world charm with all the modern conveniences of modern living.

Located on the estate of LE MOULIN DE LA ROQUE - Noves you are surrounded by twelve acres of nature and beautifully maintained grounds. The estate is hidden, gated on both sides, parking is ample inside the estate. It is situated in the heart of Provence between Saint Remy and Avignon.

Completely secluded and calm, the Moulin is accessible by two private drives shaded by old hovering Plane trees on one side and a beautiful flowing stream on the other.

Walk into our quaint village of Noves (an authentically french provencal village, no tourists) where you can enjoy the local cafés, open-air market, or pick up your daily baguette at a charming boulangerie. Or, take one of the paths leading off the main garden and enjoy incredible vistas of the Les Alpilles on over 370 acres (150 hectares) of forest and hiking trails.

Baron Guy Fallon and Gabrielle, are your hosts and welcome you to stay on their estate, their home. You will, of course, be as independent as you wish however there is a great advantage to having the owners on site.

Nothing can ruin a vacation more than if you should have a problem in your house. With many private home rentals, you will have to contact an agency who in turn will contract for the work (and in Provence, you never know when this help will arrive as we are very relaxed here with an extraordinary amount of holidays and sacred long lunch hours.

Guy and Gaby have a full-time staff to take care of your problems immediately if they should occur. In addition, they are there to provide you support for translation, introduction into the French and provencal cultures, touring advice, restaurants, medical assistance as needed and any other thing you may need, even it if is just to borrow a cup of sugar.

It is their goal to assure as much as possible that your vacation and your experience with them and in Provence is a fantastic and memorable one.

Their charming house, Les Cigales, is the perfect lodging for couples, friends traveling together, two families or one large family. It offers a beautiful panoramic view of the estate from your private Wisteria covered terrace o as it is situated to the south and the gardens and the large lawn. There are five bedrooms, three bedrooms in a wing on the ground level with three baths, three toilets (2 separate and private from the baths) and for even more convenience, a hidden vanity sink in each bedroom as well as two separate entrances from the rear of the house. Upstairs, there are two additional large bedrooms with one toilet room apart and separate from the bath, one bath/shower and for more convenience, a hidden vanity sink in each bedroom.

Any bedroom in this house can be either two twin beds or one large king bed (1m80 by 2 meters). All mattresses are new and of the highest quality for a good night's sleep.

Les Cigales is more than a rental cottage as Gaby and Guy have put many touches to make it feel like home, with fresh provencal fabrics, everything you would need in a kitchen (blender, food processor, salad spinner, loads of dishes and glasses, pots and pans of every size, toaster, microwave, two refrigerators, five burner gas cooktop, convection oven and more and even more!


Les Cigales is one of our most popular houses on the estate due to its size, convenience, and charm as well as the spectacular views. We have guests who return every year without fail to stay here. If this is your dream, reserve early to get your choice of dates!

Do not be concerned about others on the estate. Unlike many other hamlet type accommodations that can be crowded and each unit very close and on top of one another, each farmhouse at Moulin de la Roque is spacious, independent private and neatly nestled into the ambiance of the old mill and grand estate. Every terrace and garden has been carefully thought out to provide the maximum privacy for our guests. The estate itself is very spacious and you will not feel the presence of others except as you pass each other perhaps on the lane to Noves or perhaps at the pool.

Another benefit to Les Cigales is that it can be combined with another house to become one large 8 bedrooms, 7 bath house with a large reception area in between for your meals together or just cocktails or extra storage space.

Please take a tour of the estate on our website on our VRBO page or just type in Moulin de la Roque, Noves on google. You will also find numerous reviews the link to which is on our website.

AN INSPIRING SETTING for your provencal vacation as couples, families, friends, painting workshops, or any other type of group, the Moulin de la Roque can accommodate almost any requirement.

Available are large salons for groups, a large secluded swimming pool with surrounding terrace, covered cabana and pool house with shower and toilet facilities, a petanque court (Provencal ball game), two trampolines, and other recreational facilities for children as well as adults.

An expansive lawn allows for beautiful views and lots of space to run or play for the children.

Affordable luxury for couples and families

From the beautifully maintained grounds to the immaculate villa's bedrooms and kitchen, this property exceeded our expectations. Pool was wonderful place to cool off after a day of exploring Provence. Perfectly located for day trips, the property is extremely well located. wine and historical tours are available from independent firms but you can go everyday or just relax on property. Will be back!

Magical

Moulin de la Roque is jaw-dropping--you think the online photos must be lucky shots, and then the real thing is better. We were 10 people (two teens) staying two weeks (very hot weeks) and we just loved everything that happened. The pool and the air conditioning overcame the heat, and all the facilities were excellent. We will come again.

a bit of paradise

A jewel. Better than expected. Photos are great, but do not do it justice. Would recommend highly. Love the location, accommodations, Gaby and Guy. Beautifully maintained and spotless. Gaby's decorating is perfect french cottage, and Guy's helpful suggestions are right on. They both are wonderful hosts and make you feel special. Day trips from Noves are easy and plentiful by rental car. Avignon high speed train convenient.

Gorgeous, central, warm hospitality

A gorgeous, well kept, absolutely French property that is large enough, and has enough going on, to stay put for a few days. But when you DO want to venture out, everything is close by. We had a big group for a special birthday and spent quite a bit of our time on the property because it was just too nice to leave. Anything Gaby and Guy recommended was perfect. The best restaurants, markets, activities, and how to make the most of a particular day, were all covered by their generous and thoughtful recommendations. The kitchens were well stocked. Even the knives were good, and all the appliances you might need were available. Did I mention how gorgeous the property and buildings are, inside and out? A great place to book. We will be back.

Wonderful, in every good sense

It was dream-like. Such a beautiful setting and warm, comfortable home (with modern, high-end conveniences). The hosts, Gaby and Guy, were welcoming and always helpful, especially when Gaby drove with me to the nearby town where my credit card had been overcharged. The old mill itself has been preserved, and Guy was a tireless guide of its intricate workings. Meanwhile, that area of Provence is rich with town markets and hidden, fabulous restaurants.

Wonderful Stay at Moulin de la Roque

Two couples enjoyed the very spacious Le Cigales villa at Moulin de la Roque in early October. It was a lovely time to visit with no crowds anywhere we went and cool refreshing weather. The estate is so lovely that one hates to leave but we did manage day outings each day and looked forward to returning in the late afternoon to our special provencal home. The villa is incredibly comfortable and beautifully decorated and supplied with everything a visitor might need. Guy and Gaby have compiled excellent notebooks full of ideas for outings, meals, shopping, etc. We particularly enjoyed our daily walk into the charming village of Noves to stock up on croissants and baguettes as well as fruit and vegetables. Market day at Chateaurenard and Eygalieres were also favorite memories and provided for delicious dinners in our villa. We are already planning a return visit!

Perfect Retreat

We stayed in the Cigales villa which is a spacious home that in addition to 4+ bedrooms, offers a very spacious kitchen, dining room and living room areas with beautiful furnishings. The location also has a great outdoor patio with covered barbeque and overhead trellis of Wisteria. We cooked at home multiple evenings and enjoyed having such a beautiful and peaceful place to return to each day after site-seeing. The location of these accommodations is very convenient to the other sites in Provence. Also, our hosts were very welcoming and helpful and we enjoyed playing with a resident young boxer puppy (Gucci) who made the accommodations seem even more like home,

Ideal for family and friends

We (two families with a collective 5 children) stayed here for a week in April. Kids and adults loved it. Plenty to do locally and as well as being great hosts Gaby and Guy's recommendations for local trips were all spot on. Les Cigales is very well equipped for large parties and ideally designed with opportunities for separation (and relative peace from the kids) as well as communal areas that fit everyone easily. All in all I have no hesitation in recommending.

Classic Provence

This is a beautiful, comfortable and well appointed property in the heart of the Rhone wine region. The perfect home to return to after a day of touring and sightseeing, as well as the perfect place to spend your time reading and simply relaxing on the property. Comfortable for 3 - 4 couples

Provence at its best!

We returned for our 4th visit in September, and promptly booked our 5th visit for this coming summer. This particular trip consisted of 4 couples and a private chef. Les Cigales was plenty for this. The centuries old mill (complete with stream) is historic in its own right, but is fully equipped with all the modern accoutrements. Various sized gites (apartments) make it to where if you want privacy for a romantic week, it is so. Or, like us most of the time, you want family around you sharing meals and afternoon sunsets, it is just so. The facility offers plenty of parking, a wonderful pool, hiking on hillsides, easy access to shopping and a great Petanque court for the occasional tourney only completed with a nice Rose'. The wonderful hosts, Guy and Gaby, are great sources of direction for fine dining and historical touring. Go to the weekly market in the various villages! You WILL return. The village, Noves, is complete for grocery shopping and pastries, and the larger village of St-Remy-de-Provence (10 miles) is where van Gogh did a great deal of his work and you will find fine dining. The market there on Wednesday morning is not to be missed. The villages of Gordes, Arles, Aix-en-Provence, Les Baux, and the historic city of Avignon (12 miles away) will occupy your days. A nice Cotes de Rhone and some of the outstanding cheeses found at the markets will occupy your nights. Enjoy!

Family of 10

This was a dream trip for our family, and the reality exceed the dream. We were awed by the beauty of Le Moulin de la Roque and the warm welcome of our hosts. As tried travelers, we especially enjoyed the convenience of a delicious French meal brought in by a "food truck" on the evening we arrived. We stayed at Les Cigales villa which proved to be perfect for our family of ten ranging in age form six years to eighty. The villa is tastefully furnished and well equipped with all items needed to make a family visit enjoyable. Our hosts recommendations for places to visit and eat proved to be outstanding. The children and adults enjoyed the pool and playing petanque (boules) on the sand court each evening. Each day we explored a different site after a great breakfast on our patio of local fruits, breads and pastries. I would love to visit here again.

Absolutely Stunning

We traveled with a large group of family and friends (16 people) in mid-September. We had ten people in Les Cigales and six in Les Tuileries (which sleeps eight). Both villas were beautiful and worked well for our group. The grounds are magnificent with a lovelyl pool and walking trails up the hills to a great view. We did a lot of traveling--St Remy, Arles, Avignon, Vaison la Romaine, and Roussillon--all interesting. One night we had a chef come in to cook for us-- the food was delicious and the night great fun. It was nice to be able to walk into nearby Noyes for our daily croissants. Gaby and Guy were fantastic hosts and very helpful for directions, making reservations, and especially for the one snag we hit on the trip--the Air France flight, which resulted in the bulk of our party leaving a day early, Oh well--next time I will have to get to Pont du Gard and Uzes!

Perfect Provence

We had 4 couples, some celebrating 30th wedding anniversaries & birthdays. We rented the 5-bedroom house so we had plenty of space. The home was lovely, clean, appropriately decorated, tasteful. I just wish we had more time to relax in the home but with only one week to explore Provence, we had to run every day to Avignon, Aix, Arles, St Remy, etc. Next time we will stay longer. Both Gabby & Guy were helpful in many ways. She arranged a wonderful local chef to make a special dinner in the house. It was truly the best meal we enjoyed during our 16-day French trip. (Local restaurants are truly divine as well.) If you wonder if these reviews are accurate, rest assured, they are! Can't wait to return. Thank you!

Wonderful vacation in Provence with a perfect location

We found this spot through VRBO and really could not believe our good fortune. We had family members from ages 75 to 2, and everyone had a grand time. There was something for all to enjoy each day. We liked being able to cook there and enjoy the pleasant evenings in peaceful surroundings. The house had a very well equipped kitchen which our group really loved. We were so close to so many varied places to take day trips out and return for lunch or not before proceeding on to the next adventure. It was more than we could have possibly dreamed it would be. The little town of Noves was perfect for breads and wonderful meats in the grocery store. Thank you Guy and Gaby for the wonderful spot you have made for visitors in your perfect place in France.

Superb stay, look forward to returning

We typically stay in Relais Chateaux affiliated hotels when in Europe. Decided to go the villa route and stay in one place for a week this time, and worth every moment. Gaby and Guy are wonderful hosts, the villas are superb, and the grounds gorgeous. They have done marvels with an old mill grounds full of history. One thing of joy superbly done is each villa having it's own patio totally secluded from the other villas. We spent many wonderful hours sitting, drinking wine, and enjoying perfect weather and friends. It's a 5-10 min walk into a small village that is quaint but has what you need. And a perfect location for seeing the sights of southern France, many, many things are within an hr or so. I highly recommend Moulin de la Roque, you will have a superb time without any regrets. You must get the tour and history of the site from Guy, that alone is worth the trip. It's a very special place, for them to have the vision of transforming this place into an experience they share with each of us is a treasure. A special place with special people and worth sharing.

Wonderful place to be

Could not have been a more pleasant stay. Gaby and Guy are the perfect hosts. They were helpful in too many ways to count. The pictures do not do justice to the estate. It is magnificent. The property is lovingly maintained. The apartment we stayed in suited our needs to a tee. Comfortable beds, nice kitchen and cozy living room. Always a pleasure to come home after a long day of sightseeing. Cannot wait to go back.

A perfect holiday experience - we will be back next year!

Moulin de la Roque provides the ideal base from which to explore the South of France from Montelimar nestling in the Rhone valley in the North of the region to the picturesque fishing village of Cassis situated on the Mediterranean coast in the South. The self-catering accommodation is of the highest standard and you will receive a terrific welcome from Guy and Gaby who will ensure your stay will be as enjoyable as possible. The gites are spacious, extremely comfortable and well equipped with everything you might need. Onsite there is a large playing area with facilities for boules, badminton and kids trampolines and a superb outdoor, heated swimming pool. The village of Noves is a short walking distance away and there are number of walking and cycling routes which will allow you to see the local countryside in detail.

a perfect magic place

We have been spending our Easter Holidays for the 6th time in Moulin de la Roque. It's an incredibly beautiful place. We would say it’s a magic place. Once you’ve been there once, you want to go back…. Guy and Gaby are wonderful hosts. If you have kids, don't hesitate to go there. They will surely enjoy a lot running in the huge garden, jumping in the trampolins, playing badminton, ping-pong… And if you look for relax, don’t be afraid… it’s not at all a noisy place. You’ll get time to read, walk around, or just seat in the beautiful terraces all the houses have… The gite is perfectly located, very close to a nice small village. and in the center of Provence. Enjoy your holidays there….. You’ll not be disappointed. Our three kids want to come back once again next year.. and we hope we’ll be there again…

Primo Provence Location!

We stayed here in April 2011 in the Oliviers house, which was 3 bedrooms (one downstairs and the other two upstairs--quite large bedroooms). Each had twin beds, which could be combined into a king-size bed if desired. Each had full private bathrooms & there was a washing machine. The living and kitchen (well equipped) area were generous in size--very modern appliances, and there was a lovely patio outside with a table that seated 6--perfect for eating outdoors (as well as a barbeque). Everything about Moulin de la Roque was first class, friendly, extremely clean, and beautiful. The location was absolutely perfect for daily trips to the various markets and hilltop towns/villages. One could also walk into the town to a nice size grocery as well as the boulangerie(s). Moulin de la Roque has many lodging options available; you only have to check out their website. Communication is excellent with the owners, and they are available any time during your stay because they live on the property as well. Both owners speak English and, of course, French. They are a lovely couple devoted to the estate. We recommend Moulin de la Roque wholeheartedly!

About the host

Hosted by Guy Fallon and Gaby Janney

Host profile image
We are Guy and Gaby, your hosts at Moulin de la Roque in Noves Provence France.

Guy came from Belgium over 25 years ago searching for an estate in France where he could relax, engage in some agriculture and enjoy the Provencal lifestyle and mild weather. He found such a place in the Moulin de la Roque. A historic old flour mill (dating back as far a the 1500s), located in the countryside, near a small village but not far from Saint Remy and Avignon. It was nestled up to a mountain and rock cliff and surrounded by a lovely river. There were fields of orchards and a small vineyard. The only problem was that most of it was in ruins. Being an engineer by education, Guy had no hesitation to begin a renovation of the property which continues even today.

A historic old flour mill (dating back as far a the 1500s), located in the countryside, near a small village but not far from Saint Remy and Avignon. It was nestled up to a mountain and rock cliff and surrounded by a lovely river. There were fields of orchards and a small vineyard and a grand chateau.

The only problem was that most of it was in ruins. He had no idea what he would do with it, however, being an engineer by education and an architect at heart, he had no hesitation to begin a renovation of the property which continues even today.

Guy met Gabrielle (Gaby), an American, 15 years ago when she came as a guest to the Moulin with some artists to paint. Air France had lost her luggage for over 10 days. At that time she spoke little French so he, of course, helped her to retrieve it. Thanks to Air France, she has never left! Some say she is still there waiting for her luggage to arrive.

Guy and Gaby are passionate about their mill and their Provence and love sharing both with their guests.

Why they chose this property

They have created 8 villas or a little 'Provencal village. Each year they continue to restore and create this little village paradise for their guests. People from around the world visit the Moulin each year and are surprised by its beauty, quality, and attention to detail. Some of their best compliments are 'it's so beautiful, even better than the internet site!'
We enjoy being your hosts and treat you as if you are a guest in our home. We are there to provide you with advice on the area, reservations for restaurants, help if you are sick or lost or any other support you may need. You arrive as guests and you leave as friends. The little piece of paradise was created with you in mind. We are passionate about our estate, Provence and about you, our guests.

Gaby loves the cuisine, the ambiance, and charming villages, the markets of Provence and people, especially our guests! I am an avid hiker and adventurer and together we would love to advise you to make the most out of your stay in Provence.

What makes this property unique

Staying in Les Cigales at the Moulin de la Roque offers a unique mixture of stunning beauty, provencal history, community, new acquaintances, seclusion, and privacy.

As it is also the home of the owners who live full time on the estate, Guy and Gaby, your English speaking hosts and their staff, will provide you with whatever you need. You will have privacy and support at the same time, a great combination of the successful vacation. It takes “self-catering” to another level!

The chateau-like atmosphere of the estate provides a wonderful ambiance to either stay on the estate or to come home to every night after touring the area.
The spacious grounds and structure of the estate are magnificent. The large swimming pool is secluded and secure for children. And in addition, there is a large park for children with plenty of games, including two trampolines.

The small neighboring village of Noves, is within a short walking distance from the estate. It is quaint and still holds onto the traditional Provencal way of life.

Charming and historic, it is relatively unknown so free of tourists and souvenir shops. It has all the provisions you will need for your stay and friendly people who adore the occasional visitor from abroad.

Centrally located in the heart of Provence, the estate is close to just about any major site, most within 20-30 minutes. (Such as Avignon, Chateauneuf du Pape, Pont du Gard, the Luberon (Gordes, Bonnieux, etc.) Arles and the Camargue, and the Les Alpilles (Saint Remy and Les Baux).

For groups, the estate is ideal as each family or group, can take a house, all just around the corner, maintaining their privacy as a family or group, yet easily coming together in the large dining areas or terraces of each other’s homes for meals. And there is a lodging for every budget.

Just adjacent, there is a large forest, and mountain where you can take hikes each day in the midst of wild rosemary and thyme and enjoy the views.
