General Overview
Our house is a very old farmhouse that we have restored with traditional, noble and ecological materials, in the middle of a wooded park (8000 m2) that we have gradually created in forty years. We have added a very large salt pool (15x5x8). We have, 18 years ago now, created two cottages of 65m2 each that we offer for exchange. We are in the countryside, 2.5 km from the village and 17kms from Toulouse. Our privileged location allows many excursions and visits, both on foot, by bike and by car while enjoying a privileged setting, quiet, without neighbors! Our animal friends are welcome.
The Space
The house consists on the ground floor, with south-east opening of our house. Upstairs, via a wide staircase are the two gîtes, with an independent entrance. Parking is at the entrance of the property. The 65 m2 cottage opens onto the large balcony terrace, the garden, a panoramic view and the barbecue area. It is composed of a living room with a fully fitted American kitchen well stocked with utensils, a dining room with beautiful crockery, a living room with a fireplace, sofa and armchairs, television, internet access, a master bedroom with a large comfortable bed (160x200), wardrobe, chest of drawers, bedside tables. The second bedroom which can be used as an office has two trundle beds for 1 person, desk, small bedside table...) The bathroom has a bathtub with hydromassage shower, washing machine, dryer. The toilets are separate. The deoration is athypic: lime paintings, stained glass, mosaics, furniture painted with casein...

Neighbourhood
We are not in a neighborhood but in the middle of nature, surrounded by fields and woods. You will find peace and space. From here, you can walk along the GR Arles/Compostela, the Canal du Midi and access other sites to visit. In the village: an organic, local and delicious bakery, a market of organic and local producers every Thursday late afternoon. There is also a refreshment bar and in the summer every Thursday evening a music competition. For shows and restaurants, you will have to take your car. I will advise you.

Getting Around
It is essential to have a car. The village is 2.5 km away, as are the shops. But it is then easy to get to Toulouse by metro. To visit beautiful places (villages, mountain walks, nature reserve, city such as Albi, Foix, Carcassonne) a car is necessary. We have many GR trails close to the Canal du Midi. Many places can be reached by bike.
Tous les commerces, pharmacie, médecin, restaurants, salles de sports, cinéma et autres commodités sont entre 2.5 km et 10 km. Supermarchés et marchés à 2.5 km

Violette
My name is Violette and with my husband, Gérard, also an active retiree, we have been happily exchanging homes for almost ten years. We love to travel, to discover other cultures, sometimes very far away, sometimes close to home, and we like to receive people from all over the world in our beautiful old farmhouse that we have restored. I am passionate about nature and in forty years we have transformed our land into a nature oasis, a haven of peace for all living things. I like the arts and particularly traditional practices (lime painting, mosaics, stained glass...), we of course like gastronomy. We are curious about everything and we travel with our dog, perfectly trained (utilitarian research). We look forward to seeing you.
