South facing, the large double windows reach
down to the floor, providing maximum light and making the
most of the panorama down the valley of the wolf. Gertrude
has a magnificent Rococo style mahogany bed, as well
as a matching desk and cabinet. There is a full length cupboard
for hanging clothes, a mini-bar, and most of all, a great
atmosphere - there is something just 'right' about this room.

The bright bathroom has a large shower adorned
with green glass mosaics from Opio Colour, and
the original roll top bath.
An antique sink is backed by a slab of white marble
which matches the marble window sill, cascading natural light
over the bath. The original red tommette
provencal floor
tiles
remain, as do the high ceilings and a sense
of grandeur befitting a woman 'sans profession'..

History
|
|
She may be a bit of a mouthful, but Gertrude
has an interesting place in Le Foulon's history. Little is
known about her, except she was a woman 'sans profession'
whose main residence was 435 East 57th Street, New York.
The few locals that remember the American in
their community have only imparted that she was rarely here.
Records show she owned the property for just a few years
after the second world war - we would love to know more and
a letter has been sent to her old address in the hope it
may still be connected with the family. |
