Location   "FROUMIGUE" is situated in the hills 6 kms from Villeneuve/Lot, a 13th century "bastide" (fortified town), lying in the heart of Lot-et-Garonne in the South West of France.

Lot-et-Garonne, which is just south of the Dordogne, is still a well-guarded secret. Yet it has much of the best France has to offer - a 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". It will entice you to discover it's architecture, gastronomy, quaint open farmers' market and most of all "art de vivre".


WHAT ARE THE LOCAL ACTIVITIES?
An 18-hole golf course at Castlenaud, riding at the "Chateau de Roge", tennis at Villeneuve tennis-club, water sports on the River Lot are all within 5-15 mins. drive of the gite. You can cycle and hike directly from "Froumigue".

WHAT ARE THE EXCURSIONS?
The medieval fortified villages of Pujols, Penne d'Agenais, Montflanquin and Villereal are within 15 mins drive. The Dordogne valley and the vineyards of Bordeaux are only 1 1/2 hrs., and the sandy beaches of the Atlantic coast are only 2 hrs drive from the gite.

RESTAURANTS?
There are also many reasonably-priced restaurants in the area, serving local specialities, and for that “special night out” your will find excellent “restaurants gastronomiques” all within 20 min drive from “Froumigue”.

TECHNOLOGY:
Possibility of wireless Internet Connexion - next to a very old walnut tree!
