Today we are famous in the Tarn et Garonne, especially the commune where I live.
President Sarkozy is visiting! You might well ask “why does he want to come to this sleepy rural backwater”. Well, he is here at the invitation from one of my local farmers and you can image the buzz of excitement, gendarmes and security guards everywhere – we will be the talk of the commune for years to come! We haven’t had this much excitement since my village put the Christmas decorations up!!
Talking of excitement we have a wonderful new chateau near to my commune which is rather special, if I say so myself. This 18th century holiday chateau sits in an elevated position with wonderful views of the rolling Quercy Blanc countryside. The chateau is built of traditional local white stone and retains all the original features superbly combined with the warmth and homely comfort of the interior, a rare quality for this type of properties.
The beautiful grounds have lavender walks, forest trails, climbing roses, mature trees, topiary and surrounded by magnificent 360 degrees views. Swim in the large salt water pool or visit the stables where the resident horse lives, play boules or dine al fresco on the open terrace enjoying the peaceful and relaxing surrounding countryside.
To enhance the quality of your holiday you can reserve the chateau staff to provide you with all meals and residential services at a very reasonable cost.
Such a shame President Sarkozy cannot book a French villa holiday here....
