Once upon a time where was a man of faith who said to himself, "Well then, why not me?" and who, in the face of all obstacles, resolved to build - far from the madding crowd, standing alone in the midst of the desert, by an abandoned French fort - a kasbah fit to receive the heroes of Fort Saganne and worthy of Gérard Depardieu's esteem. And so it was to be, so exceptionneal are the features of this fine "Charming and Traditional" house. Created essentially for those in love with eternal stretches of sand and dust, the premises also offer excellent facilities to those who are able to adapt themselves to another lifestyle and cast off the trappings of worldly sophistication. Comfortable rooms and excellent board make happy additions to this most idyllic of settings.
