What daily life looks like in this area
While only 2 minutes from Rustrel, the 'amidst nature' setting typically involves narrow, winding tracks. Daily errands like major grocery shopping require a trip to the nearby town of Apt. The hilltop/rural terrain means even short distances involve significant elevation changes.
