Details Set in 5 acres, reached by a winding farm track through woods, surrounded by farm land, it has spectacular views of the St. Germain Plateau and over the peaceful valley below. The gite - an 18th century barn - has been sensitively restored, retaining the character of the old buildings - oak beams, rough hewn stone walls, the original barn doors - yet offering all the comforts of modern living. Comprises:
Lot-et-Garonne, which is just South of the Dordogne, is still a well guarded secret. Yet it has as much of the best France has to offer - warm climate, peaceful pastoral scenery, historic towns and villages, markets, castles and vineyards, many excellent local wines and cheeses, as well as gastronomic specialities - such as "foie gras" and "Confit de canard."
