Villa on very large terrain for sale just north of Aix (13100), Les PLatanes
Modified Sept 09: SOLD – two years after being on the market due to inadequate pricing.
This is not a usual post but I thought I’d give a hand to some friends selling a large house set in the beautiful countryside, less than 10 minutes north of Aix, in Les Platanes.
The house is about 160 square meters, with 4 bedrooms and an office area, and the terrain is truly the attraction here: its 5 700 square meters, with a wide open view of the Ste Victoire mountain on the left hand side. It also has a pool, not new though.
Extremely quiet, its set just off a large but not major road, the Route de St Canadet, on a small road, serving only the homes there, the Chemin de la Buissone.
The home was built in the 70’s. It needs major renovation and can currently be extended by about 80 square meters (with a building permit).
This house is perfect for a couple with a love for the Provence countryside, the wish to be close to the restaurants, shopping and arts in Aix, and who has the time to manage a major renovation and maintain a large terrain. If you love gardening, this is paradise!

As I was updating the internationalparents blog, I noticed among the Google generated ads that are automatically sent to the right of the site this link: http://www.internetevolution.com.
I thought, hum, what’s that about?
To my good surprise, its not another site about the latest innovations that are going to mean Web 2.0, and even Web 3.0 are old news. No, this IBM backed site seems, at first glance, to take a societal look at the Web, with parents’ voices being heard loud and clear.
The themes I struggle with as a parent and web fanatic appear there and are debated, at last!
These are:
- How do we prevent our children from accessing shocking content on the web?
Or put in a positive light: How do we create a safe internet for our children? - Another question that gets little press is finally addressed: how to manage the security of information on the web? Protect it from thiefs?
- On a related topic, how to protect our identity on the web, ie, prevent that from being ’stolen’ by someone posing as ourself on the wide open web?
The Web we have today is a young, fearless 20 year old creation with no social conscience. We need, as parents and as responsible citizens, to push for a Web that’s conscious of its responsibility towards society because its impact is immense on the young crowd in particular.
