Luxury Gîtes in the Tarn

Two top quality gîtes on their own estate with a 12-metre pool in deepest Tarn countryside near Lavaur

5 minutes from twin-Cathedral town Lavaur in the Tarn department, 40 minutes from Toulouse, Albi and Castres, these beautiful gîtes have everything to satisfy guests looking for the 'real France' while enjoying the comfort and quiet associated with top quality accommodation.

The cathedral town of Albi is a must for anyone who loves history and art: not only is the Cathedral of Ste Cécile one of the few remaining 'painted cathedrals in Europe' but it is steeped in the bloody history of the Church in France and its 13th century fight againt the heretic Cathars. Next door is the Bishop's Palace which now houses the largest permanent Toulouse-Lautrec exhibition in the world, honouring this local lad who went 'up' to Paris to seek his fortune at the end of the 19th century.

In an estate stretching over 80 hectares - with private access road - there is a small lake beside which lies an old farmhouse which houses two 4/5-bedroomed gîtes. The gites have their own 12-metre pool.
