Set in 17 acres of orchid studded, rolling meadows and woodland, there are glorious views across the valley to the village and the Foret de Gresigne beyond. The perfect place for a peaceful, relaxing holiday. La Gréze lies close to the “golden triangle”, the area between Gaillac, Albi and Cordes, and is a perfect base to explore the local vinyards and the many ancient hilltop, fortress villages known as “bastides”, the most famous being Cordes itself. Other beautiful bastide villages such as Bruniquel, Puycelsi, Penne and Castelnau de Montmiral itself are only minutes away. Each one is different, with its’ own character and history, and it’s own bars, restaurants and cafes where you can sample the local cuisine and the excellent local wine. Throughout the summer there are many activities in and around these towns and villages including jazz festivals, classical music and rock concerts, markets and fairs.
Comments from recent guests:-
"A really beautiful location and the gite was spacious & extremely comfortable. We would have no hesitation in recommending La Greze - definitely the best gite we've ever stayed in".
"The photographs do not do it justice, we were very pleasantly surprised when we arrived. The gite was much better than other self catering places we have stayed in."
"It was like being in our own place for a fortnight. You gave us a great feeling of being welcomed to your home and garden but at the same time we felt very independent".
" A delightful gite, beautifully decorated. Wonderful setting and stunning views".

La Roche d'Enchaille is a barn conversion situated just outside the quiet village of Cussay. It has recently been finished to offer comfortable and spacious accomodation in a traditional way. It is located between the medieval market towns of Ligueil and Descartes; ideally positioned for exploring the Loire Valley and its Chateaux.
Set in to a hillside with a wood behind, La Roche d'Enchaille enjoys uninterrupted views of the surrounding rolling farmland and woodlands. The accommodation is a careful restoration and conversion of the farm to the Chateaux of Cussay, this dates back to 1268 when the first record of the Chateaux can be traced as being sold to Guy the Doyen of St Martin. The main West-facing wall is formed from the original chateaux ramparts and vestiges of these are present through out the grounds as well as entrances to caves and tunnels. The locals swear there is a tunnel linking La Roche d’Enchaille with the Church in the centre of Cussay some 5 km away. The Chateaux has had several roles during its long history, including operating as a mint striking coinage back in the 16th century and more recently as a “Relais de Poste”.
There is also a large cave carved into the hillside above the farm, which was used by the Resistance during the 2nd World War. It now looks after the owner’s wine.

Looking for somewhere unique - but not at the expense of creature comforts?
Worried about the exchange rate? Yes it's true that the rate is not as good as it has been but hey - just remember that the main costs of your holiday are pre-paid in Sterling before you leave, so that covers your accommodation, flights and car hire costs all in Sterling.
For added peace of mind, our English Manager lives locally!
In France, fuel is now the same price as in the UK - diesel is cheaper, and you will still find plentiful local food at costs similar to or lower than the UK. Yes eating out is a little more expensive, but you get far more for your money, especially all-inclusive meals served at lunchtime, and the wine is much much cheaper, so you have no excuse not to enjoy yourself!
Ask yourself - Where would you rather be, in the UK feeling miserable, or in the warm Summer sun in the South of France? No contest !
And there's another very good reason, you would pay much more in England in peak season to rent an equivalent property. probably £300 more!
We invite you to spend a 'holiday with a difference' living the 'Chateau Life' in our
second home in the Minervois Wine Region, with every facility right on your doorstep!
No need to get into the car to buy that warm croissant for Breakfast or do the shopping - take the easy option and spoil yourself with a well deserved aperitif at the local (internet) cafe watching the world go by!
The delight of Chateau Mignard is that it is situated in the centre of a vibrant cosmopolitan village, so nowhere is too far, whatever your needs - in fact 3 Patisseries, 3 Bars and 2 Banks are but a short walk away, as are the Post Office and a range of Food shops, plus a local Suprmarket which is also open on Sunday mornings throughout the year!
Many of our guests want an easy time when it comes to the cooking - no problem! Choose from: 3 Restaurants - all are within a five minute walk, including a Pizza takeaway, and another 6 within a five minute drive!It's your holiday so you choose whether to cook or not - most of our guests are more than happy to experinece French Cuisine at its best in our local restaurants, happy that they are getting excellent value for money in terms of what they have grown accustomed to at home!
As the say: "In France - the French live to eat - in England we eat to live!"
The difference is between necessity and pleasure - it doesn't take much effort to conclude as to which Country has their values right when it comes to the quality, choice and freshness of the food on offer! |

Guest Comments:
"Liz,
We had a great time! Villa was suberb! So well equipped and ALL information was great. Many thanks - Family of four with teenage kids."
July 2008
"Hi Liz,
Just wanted to let you know we had a great time at La Casita. You have a lovely place there. The weather was kind to us! So just want to say thanks. We would definitely go back, wish we had more time!"
June 2008
"We had a great break, thanks for the use of your French home. I call it a home because it would be an insult to call it ‘self catering accommodation’. It is big enough and so well equipped that anyone staying can only enjoy the experience. The locals were very friendly and helpful as my French is almost non existent. Combined with the beauty, grandeur, climate and history of the area an enjoyable experience is guaranteed."
July 2007
"Hi Liz,
We are finally back from our holiday!
Thank you so much for the 'loan' of La Casita; we had a wonderful time there.
You really have chosen the perfect location for discovering the area: we explored the Vallespir and Confluent valleys, Perpignan, the coast round Collioure and the north of Spain.
It was really lovely at the end of each day to come back to a 'home from home' that was so well equipped. Thank you."
August 2006
"La Casita was great. All the facilities were excellent and we made full use of the garden and pool. It was a great area and we could have easily spent another week there.
We did fill in the guest book (that was a very useful reference).
Just to reiterate, you have got it spot on with La Casita, it is immediately welcoming and after a long days travel that is great.
Hope to visit again, have also kept details and will not hesitate to recommend."

The house was lived in by Henry IV of France at some point during his reign and he was assassinated in Paris in 1610, albeit being perhaps the most liked of all French King’s. The immediate land area is know as “Basque” and this was Henry IV’s name.
Francoise Valadie’s family (Estate agents in the Market Hall of Villereal) owned the house for some time and sold it during the 1960’s, her father hid in the cellar under the dining room floor during the 1939/45 war as he was a member of the resistance (the trap door remains to this day).

'Les Beaux Terroirs' is a collection of cottages and apartments, recently converted from 250-year old buildings on the edge of a village surrounded by the Rhone vineyards of southern France. With a brand new swimming pool and mature gardens, it's a perfect spot for a break any time of the year.
'Les Beaux Terroirs' is owned by Sam Owens. He bought the place in 2004 and has renovated it from top to bottom.
'Les Beaux Terroirs' - what it means...
Sam is also a complete wine nut and owns a small wine company. When deciding what to call the place, it obviously had to be connected with wine. 'Terroir' is a word for which there is no exact English translation, but roughly it implies 'a sense of place'. The thinking is that a wine is intrinsically imprinted with the character of the place it comes from - i.e. from the soils, the rocks, its orientation, its climate. 'Les Beaux Terroirs' hence means 'the beautiful terroirs'.
The concept of terroir is anathema to those who believe that wine should become a standardised product just like Coca-Cola or the Big Mac. But terroir lies at heart of what makes wine such an endlessly fascinating and pleasurable interest and we should all champion it... |

More and more people are discovering the delights of holidaying in South West France. We fell in love with this particular area, Pays de Saintonge, while on holiday and decided to settle here with our children in 1992. 14 years have passed and our walled estate, Domaine des Granges, originally a 17th century farm owned by the Benedictine order, is now arguably the premier gite and leisure complex in France. We chose our property for reasons that we believe will also appeal to you - full of character, situated in gentle Cognac country in the heart of Pays de Saintonge, Charente Maritime, looking down on the poplars which line the fish-filled River Boutonne, yet only a gentle walk from the medieval town of St Jean d'Angély, with its magnificent abbey, formerly home to the Benedictine monks and a nominated Centre of European Culture. |

The property can accommodate up to 5/6 people. It is equipped with all the modern facilities, including a cosy lounge with feature fireplace, to make your holiday 'home from home' in a relaxing 'get away from it all' location about a 10 mins drive from the small town of Villers Bocage, where there is a good choice of restaurants, supermarket, swimming pool etc. |

The main road bypasses Soulac thereby the streets and roads in the town are used only by the local tourists and residents.
Soulac Sur Mer is a paradise for surf lovers, a giant playground for children, a wonderful carpet of sand on which to laze.You can fish at sea or from the shore. Take a gastronomic trip around the Medoc peninsula.

Breakfast is included in the price for the B&B, tea and coffee making facilities are also available in each B & B room.
T.V. is available but only in French, but hey, you've not come to Soulac to watch T.V.
I have a contact that has ( pre-booking is required) a fishing hut on the Gironde. I don't know if you have seen these little huts, they have large square nets that you lower into the river ( the price of the hut depends on the season and the time required). It is advised that when you go fishing you take along lots of wine, sausages and bread,thats for you not the fish. I can also furnish a fishing net to use in the little bays that appear during low tide on the beaches here at Soulac.
I have to make a little confession, we do not have a pool in our garden but we have the Atlantique Ocean next to our house I've counted that as our pool, however, you will have to share with other swimmers, hope thats O.K.
Its now getting to the time when we've put away our Christmas decorations and thinking about summer holidays. The summer break will be here before you know it. Thank you to all my English tourists that decided to take me at my word and visit Soulac last year. Several of you have already re-booked, how clever are you? Some of you have even decided to buy your dream home here in the sun with my daughter, the best Estate Agent in the Aquitaine Region. In their words " they have found a little bit of heaven " For those that came and stayed, I wish to say thank you, it was a pleasure not only meeting you but seeing how much you enjoyed Soulac sur Mer.
I will lookforward to seeing you all again this year. The rest of you out there, give Soulac a try.

Wonderful location with great views over the surrounding countryside for this holiday home which has one enormous bedroom and a caravan and so can sleep 2-4 people. It is also ideal for autumn, and early spring holidays as it has double glazing and a wood burning stove that keeps the whole house warm and cosy. It is ideally located for the circuit of Magny-Cours which is only 30 minutes away. It is also wonderful for bird watchers.
We have converted this gite from part of a barn, retaining all the original features and using traditional materials as far as we possibly could. It is set in 2 hectares (5 acres) of meadow with only the owners on the same site. The owners’ house is on the opposite side of the large courtyard making the gite very secluded and private. Access is from a cul de sac lane leading off a quiet road and you can walk for miles without having to do more than cross a metalled road.
The house is a no smoking area but dogs are welcome. More photos available on request. |

RELAX IN A PERFECT FAMILY GITE* – FROM 565 EUROS A WEEK
(*Perfect family not included)
Here’s a fabulous, truly rural place where you can really relax with the family.
RELAX: Gite Les Fougères is clean and comfortably furnished – but not crammed with the sorts of fragile knick-knacks that crumble or shatter when touched by small fingers.
RELAX: it’s almost at the end of a no-through-road (well, country lane, actually) so there’s almost no passing traffic – and most of the time the loudest noise is bird song.
RELAX: it’s surrounded by four or five acres of lawn and field within which your kids can run around and play freely.
RELAX: the 60cm-deep paddling pool is securely fenced – in accordance with French safety codes for swimming pools.
RELAX: if your French is rusty (or non-existent) the owners live next door and speak excellent English.
RELAX: yes, most importantly, it has a dishwasher!
When all you want to do is escape the pressures of modern life, there’s no better place to come than Gite Les Fougères. It’s set in open fields at the end of a country lane in the very heart of rural France. It’s a haven of peace and quiet and tranquillity… that’s just waiting for your kids to arrive and liven it up.
In fact, Gite Les Fougères is perfect for children. There’s not much stranger danger when there are so few strangers. There’s not much traffic danger when there are almost no cars. And there can’t be many hidden hazards when generations of kids (including the present owners’ children and grandchildren) have worked so hard (and unsuccessfully) to uncover them. Here’s somewhere where you really don’t have to supervise the family every moment of every day. They can play freely – just like you used to a generation ago.

raising geese and ducks for the "gavage". Now, they have been
painstakingly and lovingly transformed into a set of completely
independent luxury houses, from which you can fully appreciate the
beauty and tranquility of the surrounding countryside.
We three dwellings to receive visitors. Two - La Clede
and La Magnanerie - are small, open plan houses for 2/4 and 2/3 people
respectively, while the third - La Grange, is a larger house which sleeps 6.
All houses share a 15x5m shared swimming pool....so you don't even have
to go to the rivers to find water!
They also share a 5-person jacuzzi.
The latest addition is a gym, complete with treadmill, cross-trainer, rower, bike, stepper and a multi-gym - so you can stay trim while eating and drinking to excess!!!!

A MUCH-LOVED COTTAGE IN THE WONDERFUL CEVENNES - WITH RIVER SWIMMING AND BROADBAND
This is not a modern villa - nor is it in a town, or even a village. It has peace and space, grass and trees, swimming in living water that comes and is gone (unlike a swimming pool, that pumps the same old stuff round and round in pipes). It is a traditional country cottage on the sunny edge of the mountains with a mulberry-shaded terrace looking over an old orchard to a clear swimming river (the upper Herault). It sleeps 6 in 3 bedrooms (or a maximum of 8), with everything you need for a good holiday, plus a few things you usually won't, like central heating (supplement payable). It is comfortable and friendly, with an ambience of beams, old stone, white walls and warm quarry tiles. Everyone loves it. It is only 1 1/2 hrs to Mediterranean beaches, Nimes and Montpellier airports (Ryanair) and is between two autoroutes - down the Rhone valley and via Clermont-Ferrand over the Millau viaduct.

'Les Beaux Terroirs' is a collection of cottages and apartments, recently converted from 250-year old buildings on the edge of a village surrounded by the Rhone vineyards of southern France. With a brand new swimming pool and mature gardens, it's a perfect spot for a break any time of the year. 'Les Beaux Terroirs' is owned by Sam Owens. He bought the place in 2004 and has renovated it from top to bottom. Nothing gives him more pleasure than helping people escape their daily routine to spend time in beautiful parts of France.
'Les Beaux Terroirs' - what it means...
Sam is also a complete wine nut and owns a small wine company. When deciding what to call the place, it obviously had to be connected with wine. 'Terroir' is a word for which there is no exact English translation, but roughly it implies 'a sense of place'. The thinking is that a wine is intrinsically imprinted with the character of the place it comes from - i.e. from the soils, the rocks, its orientation, its climate. 'Les Beaux Terroirs' hence means 'the beautiful terroirs'.
The concept of terroir is anathema to those who believe that wine should become a standardised product just like Coca-Cola or the Big Mac. But terroir lies at heart of what makes wine such an endlessly fascinating and pleasurable interest and we should all champion it... |

"We had a brilliant time!" Our beaming visitors say Béral is the perfect getaway for adults and for kids! The traditional 18th-c. villa in white Quercy stone is matched by the splendour of its private pool, large terrace with ping-pong & barbeque, orchard and exquisite setting. All has been sensitively restored to be characterful but with modern conveniences. The property is set into the side of a hill, with everything facing south; the terrace, pool and gardens are spread out to give wonderful views over the fields of sunflowers. Inside, the farmhouse has a large main living room, with stone and whitewashed walls, a traditional corner kitchen and a beamed open fireplace. To either side are delightful bedrooms, one with a double bed, the other with a king and a cot if needed. All the rooms have views over the valley. The upstairs bathroom has a hipbath with a shower, and a toilet. Downstairs are two more bedrooms - both with antique floor tiles and two single beds - and a second bathroom. The house has been tastefully restored to retain all its ancient character, with modern facilities including central heating.
"I thought I would drop you a line to let you know what a wonderful time my family and I had at Béral. You are truly lucky to own such a beautiful house set in picturesque countryside. We all felt that the improvements you had made complimented the house and were in keeping with its origins. We all felt so relaxed and extremely sad when our week came to an end - no-one wanted to leave. Many, many thanks for letting us experience Béral."
"We had a brilliant time while we were at Béral. It was the first time we have visited this area and were bowled over. The house was a perfect place to put your feet up and catch up with your reading.... Carol loved the Sunday market at Montcuq. Most of all the boys enjoyed jumping in and out of the pool!"
