The whole region is unspoilt and full of charm . It abounds in fascinating medieval "Bastide "towns and villages such as St Antonin Noble Val, Cordes , Najac, and Albi with its fortified cathedral and Toulouse Lautrec Museum.

Guestbook for Cambous
We enjoyed living in the house and found it well equipped.. had a wonderful view of a kingfisher and also a deer.
.. your lovely house in Ginals, we did enjoy the holiday we had everything that we needed and more. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your house
We have just returned from an extremely enjoyable stay at your house -even better than our previous two visits.
... to say how much my family and I enjoyed staying in your home. We really enjoyed the area and the cool, relaxing environment the house provides.
We greatly enjoyed our stay, not just the walks and the local towns and villages but also the surprisingly varied wildlife that passed through the garden .. to hear and see the deer was exciting.
