LA MAISON DES PALMIERS
Bed & Breakfast — Homps — France
WELCOME!
Set on the banks of the Canal du Midi, La Maison des Palmiers is a manor house built by the Saint Exupery family in the 1860’s
Conveniently placed in the centre of Homps between a waterside bar and restaurant, it has an idyllic Mediterranean garden to get away from the hustle and bustle of the quay. La Maison has five rooms for bed and breakfast but can also, by arrangement, be rented in its entirety on a self catering basis.
