The Albion Millworks locates old, rural farmhouses and bastides to restore in southern France. Being involved with numerous property agents and vintners in Provence, we are able to find, advise, procure, renovate and manage the special yet hard to find homes and vineyards that are available.

In 1966, I attended the University of Dijon in central France and have been enchanted ever since. The people, food, wine, rich layers of history and the stunning countryside combined to offer this traveller a life changing blast of culture.

Every year I return, usually in the Fall during truffle season!! I have been involved in constructing two houses: one near St. Emilion in Bergerac for Thich Nhat Hahn (the Buddhist scholar nominated by Martin Luther King for the Nobel Prize) and the other near the prominent wine village of Madiran. Currently, I am working in the Vaucluse and Drôme regions.

Contact us for a great experience. Visit the Provence page to see what we discover.
