Water Activities. The Lot and the Garonne rivers provide pleasure boating and attractive walks for holidaymakers and your accommodation is situated about ten minutes drive from the Lot river. The river rehabilitation program undertaken several years ago in the Lot-et-Garonne has opened up over 200 km of navigable waterways, one of the most extensive and pleasant river networks in Southern Europe. It is possible to take one or two hour boat trips with commentary on points of interest. Villeneuve has electric boats for hire and there are various places offering, Canoeing, Kayaking, water skiing, row boats and even hydroplanes (mini hovercrafts, suitable for both adults and children). The area is a super place for anglers, with fishing permits available from Angling stores and a number of other places such as Tourist Offices and Tabacs. The local Anglers Federation publishes a comprehensive booklet each year on the rivers, the rules for the catch and the different seasons.

lambchop, Belfast. N. Ireland
Review Submitted: August 19, 2008, Date of stay: July, 2008

We have stayed in dozens of gites,farmhouses, chateaux,cabins and tents all over France and can honestly say that this compares with the best. The house location is excellently placed to take in the breath-taking views and yet it's handy to large supermarkets and towns. I defy anyone not to gasp when they arrive and wonder if they have indeed landed in heaven! Inside the property does not let you down. The rooms are beautifully furnished and clean and much thought has been taken to ensure you have a wonderful stay. I am truly envious of Martin and Christine for having this place.
My family and I spent a memorable week here visiting quaint little villages and just lounging around the magnificent pool. We''ll treasure the photos forever!!

Owner's response:

It was a pleasure to accommodate Rachelle, keith and family and we are thrilled that they had a memorable week. They are welcome to return anytime.
