About us<\/h2>\n

Who isn\u2019t familiar with it?
\nThat feeling you get when you are on holiday in France…
\n“This would be a nice place to live!”
\nPeeping through brokers\u2019 shop-windows every year, taking the familiar booklets with you.
\nOnce you\u2019ve returned home, the issues of the day take over again and the feeling ebbs away\u2026<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t any different in our case. However, starting a B&B in the South of France was an idea that would not go away.
\nSo we went to the Second Home Fair.
\nWe did have two conditions: the house had to be in the Provence and it had to be possible to turn it into a B&B…
\nIn the Provence we lost our hearts over the 10 years we visited B&Bs in France, Italy and Spain.<\/p>\n

Four weeks after the fair we left for the Vaucluse\/Var. On the fourth day we had already made our choice\u2026
\nTere de Lumi\u00e8re was built in an old olive grove, consisting of restanques that have remained\u00a0intact. With its modern style with a \u2018Proven\u00e7al flavour\u2019 it blends perfectly into its surroundings. With a view “\u00e0 couper le souffle”, the Provence is at your feet. The house was purposely built to become a B&B. With its spacious modern living room, generous guest rooms and perfect quality of construction, it was exactly what we were looking for!<\/p>\n

What we do even more?<\/h2>\n

At the moment, we have a furniture business in addition to B&B Terre de Lumi\u00e8re, Kees Verhouden Meubelen\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0in the village of Oirschot in North Brabant. A furniture showroom, a furniture-making shop and a paint shop. Kees holds sway here and we make customised furniture; in addition to our own label CASE<\/a> we are also a dealer of a number of fine brands. Our activities in Oirschot and France can easily be combined: in France, the peak period is in the summer, in the Netherlands it is in the winter.<\/p>\n

To be well prepared before we started, we both obtained the catering diploma Social Hygiene, the Hygiene Code HACCP certificate and the Allergen Declaration.<\/p>\n

\nHoping to see you soon,
\nKees and Elma Verhouden<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"About us Who isn\u2019t familiar with it?
