Description
LOCATION
Located 2km from Caylus, a medieval town which has barely been touched by the passage of time. Market days are Tuesday and Saturday, where you can buy wonderful locally grown fruits, vegetables, cheeses and wine. During the peak season Caylus also holds several evening 'Medieval' markets. The market at St Antonin (10km) on Sundays shouldn't be missed.

Caylus, shown to the right, can be seen from the grounds of Les Trousses and reached within a 10 minute walk. It has several bars, restaurants, patisseries, butchers and a small supermarket. Within a 15 minute drive are larger supermarkets at Villefranche or Caussade.

The surrounding countryside provides lots of opportunities for interesting walks and nature lovers will be amazed at the varieties of birds, flowers, wildlife and butterflies.

There is an abundance of interesting local medieval villages and a number of activities for the more energetic.

INTERIOR

On the ground floor is a delightful kitchen (24 sq m) with a full 'picture window' which is both bright and attractively decorated. It is fully equipped, enabling you to make the most of your purchases from the local markets. It includes a fridge freezer, microwave and oven and is furnished with a breakfast table and chairs.

A separate utility room contains a washing machine and an extra fridge. There is a separate downstairs toilet.

The dining room (26 sq m) leads directly from the kitchen and is delightfully furnished. It is bright and, like the rest of the house, very attractively decorated.

From here you carry on through to the lounge (23 sq m), which has lots of soft furnishings and is ideal for relaxing out of the sunshine with a good book or to catch some French television. We suggest you bring any favourite videos for the youngsters in your party.

Bedroom 1 is on the ground floor with French doors leading onto the terrace (32 sq m) with full en suite bathroom. The remaining bedrooms are on the first floor, all with ample storage.

Bedroom 2 is the master double bedroom. It has full en suite bathroom, which includes a sunken bath tub (for two people).

Bedroom 3 is a large twin bedded room.

Bedroom 4 is a good sized double bedded room with a staircase up to bedroom 5, which has twin beds and is up in the 'eaves' of the house and would comfortably suit a couple of youngsters.

There is also a separate bathroom and toilet on the first floor.

The Area
The properties are approximately a day's drive from the Channel Ports and just over an hour from Toulouse Airport. Rodez airport is on average 1 hour 15 mins and Carcassone 2 hours to most of the properties.

All properties are just short drives from Medieval towns steeped in history which still enjoy a quiet sophistication, together with friendly local people who have a warmth to match their lovely countryside. The area is unspoilt by the over-crowding of tourists experienced nowadays in many parts of France.

All properties enjoy a panoramic view and mostly are surrounded on all sides by open countryside. The properties offer tranquility and relaxation and yet are still within easy reach of amenities.

LOCAL ATTRACTIONS
Nearby are Medieval villages, Bastide towns, Chateaux, Abbeys, Churches and magnificent natural sites of outstanding beauty; whether it be wooded valleys or the meandering River Aveyron with its dramatic gorges.

ACTIVITIES
Horse riding, canoeing, fishing, bird watching, rail trips, rock climbing, wine tasting, museums, pot-holing, tennis and of course walking. Golf is available at Albi (18-hole delightful course), where there is also a water-park for children. An afternoon's excursion by canoe through the Aveyron Gorge is considered a 'must' by nearly all guests.

A number of local villages and towns have interesting and colourful markets. (NB: Be sure not to miss the local market in St Antonin held on SUNDAY mornings and Villefranche on Thursdays).

EXCURSIONS BY CAR
Within short driving distances, excursions can also be made to a number of fascinating towns and villages including Cordes, Albi, Najac, Cahors, St Antonin Noble Val and Bruniquel, all of which are well worth a visit. The larger towns house excellent restaurants to cater for all budgets.
