Home description

Set in the tranquil rolling hills around Cordes, Le Bourg was built in the early 19th century and has been a working farm and vineyard until recently - the wine vats are still in place in the cellar! The house is south facing with magnificent views across the countryside to Castelneau de Montmiral 10km away. There is a large garden of nearly 1/2 hectare with plum, cherry, fig and walnut trees, some of the garden is maintained for playing and lounging in and some is wilder for exploring. A huge sun terrace with covered area and summer kitchen is opposite the front of the house so you can spend the long sunny summer days eating outside. At the back of the house, the pool is surrounded by decking and loungers and also has superb views.

The house was completely renovated during 2008 and the barn converted in 2009 by local craftsmen and now has the original beams exposed, log fires and luxury bathrooms and kitchens. The wrought iron antique beds will ensure a comfortable nights sleep.

The house is surrounded by paths and trails for walking and the nearest wine cave is only 15 minutes walk across the valley for local produce. Hilltop villages are all around with Cordes, Castelneau, and Puycelci only 10 minutes by car and Vaour has a world famous music festival during August.

The Midi-Pyrenees / Tarn region

The "golden triangle" in Tarn has a superb climate where its warm and dry from early spring to late autumn. Albi is the main city of Tarn and has a magnificent brick cathedral from the middle ages and sits next to a museum dedicated to Toulouse- Lautrec who was born in Albi.

Toulouse, 4th largest city in France, is the centre of the European aircraft and space industry with its space museum and airbus factory.

Andorra and the Pyrenees mountains are 2 1/2 hours away and the beaches of the Med 2 hours away. The walled city of Carcassonne which featured in Robin Hood is an hour away.


Cordes-sur-Ciel / Itzac area

Itzac is surrounded by fortified hilltop villages - from the medieval city of Cordes-sur-Ciel to the small villages of Puycelci and Penne, and the rolling vineyards of Gaillac so there is plenty to explore. The countryside is criss-crossed with paths and cycle paths.

Vaour has a week long jazz festival in August and all the local villages have festivals throughout the summer with food, wine and music.

There is a large Friday market in Gaillac, a smaller market in Cordes on Saturday and a bustling Sunday market in St Antonin.
