Outside
The gite and pool have open access to the owner's grounds. The pool is 8m x 6m and approximately 4-5 feet deep (deeper in the middle).
Coast/Beach
Centrally placed between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, but an 1.5 hours drive away.
Golf
There are golf courses in the vicinity of Villeneuve which is approximately 15 kms from the Gite.
Travel
A car is a necessity, not just because this is a rural area, but also to appreciate the tourist attractions in the surrounding area. There are flights to/from Agen to Paris but the main international airport is Bergerac which is approximately 50 kms to the north.
Distances
The gite is 3kms from the nearest village which has all services i.e. bank, post office, mini-supermarket, 3 restaurants, pharmacy. Agen 12 km (on the river Garonne) is a large town with many interesting things to do. It is known as the Prune capital and there is an annual festival held in September. Agen also boasts one of the finest provincial art museums in France. Musιe du Foie Gras (10 km) the only one in France! Every Thursday evening (during summer months) they cook duck on string.
Further details
On the outskirts of Agen there is the 23 arch aqueduct, the Pont Canal, built in 1839, which carries the Canal Latιral over the Garonne. The TGV (fast train) stops here, mid-way between Bordeaux and Toulouse. This makes trips from Paris very fast approximately 4 hours. Marmande - 70 km the Tomato capital! Festival in August. Moissac 40 km is noted for its Romanesque Abbaye de St-Pierre, one of the crown jewels of medieval French sculpture, which is a Benedictine monastery founded in 506. The Cloisters contain 76 magnificent capitals (the head or cornice of a pillar or column) which date from the end of the 11th century and are the oldest in situ in France. They are carved with foliage inspired by Corinthian capitals, but with luxuriant virtuosity; others have birds and animals intricately intertwined. Unfortunately, there is little else to see as most of Moissac was destroyed in a great flood in 1930. The Underground Caves of Fontirou and Lastournelle - 5km Visits are around 40 minutes and accompanied by a guide. Temperature is a cool 14 degrees centigrade stalactites, stalagmites and limestone tapestries of an incomparable richness. Easy access. Cheese Farm 7 km visit the farm to see how cheese is made. See the cows, feed the donkeys and goats, but better still, taste the cheese (without additives). Wine Domaine local producer is just across the valley. You can taste his wine from this year and last, and the year before. Best known wines in this area are Buzet (just across the Garonne) and Duras (about 50 miles north east). Recommended day trips are to the lovely villages of Beauville, Villeneuve-sur-Lot, (on the way visit Pujols), Montflanquin, and bastide towns like Montpazier and Lauzerte. Cahors is an excellent day trip with wonderful views over the Lot (St Cyr). A bit further away are the scenic villages of St Cirq La Popie and Rocamadour. There is a library of leaflets describing the above and many other places.
