VILLA OF THE MONTH – Maison St Gervais

Each month I am going to nominate a Villa of the Month in various regions of France. This not only gives the particular villa a little bit of publicity but it may also help the reader of this blog to know about the regions in France, where I live.

This month it’s Maison St Gervais which is a former Presbytery built of Quercy Blanc stone and was once the home of the local parish priest. Since the priest left the Presbytery it has been renovated over the years and now provides a comfortable holiday home.
The house sleeps eight comfortably, has a large garden, a sparkling pool and situated in a particularly lovely part of the Tarn et Garonne with rural views yet close to a small village. Among the many places local to the property are markets, night markets, a leisure lake, a tennis court, horse riding centre, golf courses and a parachute school.

The Quercy Blanc takes its name from the white limestone which colours the soil. Many villages are built of Quercy Blanc, the beautiful local white stone.

This green and fertile corner of France is well known for its hilltop medieval bastides and fortified villages. There are incredibly beautiful and unspoilt places with tumbling flowers, painted shutters and carved stonework dotted across the rolling landscape, intermingling with stone built farms, gaggles of foie gras producing geese, the occasional chateau, vineyards, sunflowers and fruit orchards.

Famous for its sunflowers, peaches, kiwi, asparagus, cherries, nectarines, melons, vines and prunes, the local countryside changes weekly from the lush greens and delicate blossoms of early spring through to the fields of ripening wheat and barley edged with poppies, to the vivid yellow of the summer sunflowers.
