General overview
Such a unique bastide town in a cluster of individual villages in Lot et Garonne ,SW France. This is designed and built to be both accommodating as well as retain all it's French charm. From countryside to UNESCO sites, Michelin restaurants, to traditional markets you can find a touch of everything nearby. Happy exploring!
The space
This is a restored farm building in the village of Beauville, one of many medieval bastide towns, an the old 11th century village in Lot et Garonne-right on the edge of Tarn et Garonne. Each village has its own unique character and history. There are many UNESCO Heritage sites , rivers to kayak, bike trails along the Canal du Midi, a market in nearby villages every day of the week and walking trails exceed our roads I am sure! Afterall, the Saint Jacques de Compostela trail has an anchor location in Moissac just 25 kilometers away,. We should also talk about food! Well, it is France ,so we do have several Michelin star restaurants nearby as well as a plethora of countryside restaurants where the drive is just as enjoyable as the food, Dont forget that Winerys are close by for a quick stop, or even a longer trip to explore Cahors is well worth the day trip. In Beauville, nice little parks are at both ends of my street overlooking the fields and farms , perfect for reading or catching sunset photos. A larger park is in the main square with playgrounds, Petanque and basketball courts .
Guest access
You enter through the kitchen and can walk up stairs to the sitting area and bedroom combo or continue across the ground floor through a room I use for a laundry room, to access another bedroom up a second set of stairs with bedroom, sitting/ exercise area with elliptical, stationary bike, weights and mats .This room also has two twin beds . I just need to get there to decorate it a bit more. Update! Some art is up! More needed tho.
I just purchased this and closed June 5th 2019, so I am offering it in hopes of future exchanges before I even get to live there myself!
Notes
Welcome to a full kitchen for your cooking pleasure with stainless steel and cherry wood counters. The second floor rooms have velux windows, electric shutters. Radiators on the second floors, and heated floors in the kitchen will keep you warm for the winter visits!
