Large house in South West of France. Quietness in a well preserved environnment
Our home is located at the bottom of the Quercy hiilside, a quiet place. The village is situated alongside river Aveyron, and has a a charming sandy beach (bathing daily open, and a little restaurant open all summer long too). As a traditionnal French village, you find a real baker, a fine butcher, a bar, grocery, pharmacy, petrol station, post office ... The well equiped kitchen is separated from the dining room (with a fire place) ; one bathroom is on each of the two levels, and the 6 bedrooms are decorated. Our garden is 2 000 m², with trees. We have two terraces to enjoy the view and to take lunches and diners (barbecue). Our pool is 6 m diameter and 1,20 m hight, enough for kids and parents to bathe in !
Plenty of places around to visit such as Montauban (5 kms only), Rocamadour (famous pilgrimage center), prehistoric caves, medieval castles (Bonaguil, Bruniquel ...) , Pyrenees range, the city of Toulouse (Space museum) at 30 mns, Wallibi resort center in Agen (1 hour drive), footpaths and rivers aroundd. Canoeing in the Aveyron gorges is a must !.. Albi (UNESCO heritage) is at 1 hour drive from us
