The Gite - Introduction & History

​​Les Cannas Gite was originally the outbuildings to the old woodworking workshop next door. The carpentry heritage is apparent throughout the Gite, with a handmade wooden kitchen and staircase and other features throughout the property. Five generations of Master Craftsmen lived and worked on the site. Many of the wooden interior features at the local Chateau des Milandes (the home of Josephine Baker) were crafted on the premises.
