Accommodation and Facilities for the barn in Agen area, Lot-et-Garonne, France

The history of Labat

Labat Grange is a former barn which has been lovingly restored by the Kendall family over the past couple of years. The barn was first let as a gite last summer and we have received some very encouraging comments from our first summer’s guests. We tried to use traditional materials where possible when renovating to maintain the 'feeling' of the building, from the oak floorboards and handmade terracotta floor tiles to the white stone walls and huge oak beam. Labat was once a village set on a hillside in a sheltered and peaceful valley. Behind Labat Grange there is, still standing, the village bread oven which used to provide bread for the village and beyond. Behind that on the hillside was a vineyard and to the side an orchard. There are lots of foundations on the site of old farm cottages and, to the side of the bread oven are the foundations of the manor house where the main village family would have once lived.

A nature lovers' paradise.

The land around Labat is very much unspoilt; a lot of the valley is unsuitable for building and for agriculture so it is very quiet and perfect for wildlife. We arrived here in April and within a few weeks; we noticed that wild orchids were sprouting up everywhere. We counted 11 different varieties, amongst them, the beautiful bee orchid. We also have deer, badgers, numerous birds and reportedly wild boar although we have never seen any.
