Local Area Details

Fifteen years ago we bought the property in the South of France near Najac and we started to renovate it. Five years ago we reached the point where we could live there permanently. We are a Dutch couple in our mid fifties. We hope that one day we will be able to meet you.

On our property we build two gîtes; Le Papillon a converted stone gîte and Les Hirondelles, a small, recently build gîte, situated next to the pool. Both gîtes have their own private terrace with barbecue.
Our property is located in the South Aveyron just above the point where the
Aveyron, Tarn and Tarn and Garonne districts meet. It is a day's drive from the Channel Ports and about one and a one hour drive from Toulouse International Airport.

It has southerly aspect and stands in 2 hectares of partly wooded grounds
with fine panoramic views of the adjacent valley of the river Serene. Areas
around have been planted with a variety of shrubs and trees like peach,
nectarine, cherry, prune, kiwi, fig and walnuts.

The covered pool can be used the whole year. The pool measures 8.0m x 4.0m. The depth of the pool is 1.70m at the deep end reducing to 0.9m at the shallow end. The pool's purification system is based on biguanide rather than chlorine so the water is very pleasant to swim in and has none of the unpleasantness associated with chemical based treatment systems. Underwater lighting for post-barbecue nighttime swimming.

Table tennis facilities, dart and a boulodrome are provided. The many
secluded paved terraces allow the climate to be enjoyed in private. Your own stone barbecue on your private terrace adds the final touch to ensure you have every opportunity to unwind in a relaxing environment. Or alternatively you can make use of the two mountain bikes that are supplied. Garden furniture, sunbeds and parasols are also available.

Interesting, medieval towns in the area are Najac, Cordes, St. Antonin Noble Val and Albi. Albi is famous for its medieval centre, its cathedral and of course the Toulouse Lautrec Museum. The Gaillac wine region with its fine range of excellent wines is only a half-hours drive away. Our region is well known for its fine, interesting and affordable restaurants.

A wide selection of sporting facilities are available in the area. The tennis court in St. André de Najac is available and free to use for our guests. Canoes and kayaks can be hired in Laguepie and Najac. There is good fishing in the local river Aveyron, Viaur and Serene. Pony trekking centres are located nearby.

The local countryside offers many opportunities for walkers and we provide
comprehensive maps, GR 36 is nearby. The golf course at Albi is reputedly first rate and particularly welcoming visitors.
