The house
The Pigeonnier is a traditional regional outhouse, where pigeons were kept and grain was often stored below. Until the French Revolution, only the nobility was allowed to have a pigeonnier and it has therefore long remained a symbol of prestige.
We have converted the pigeonnier into a pleasant and comfortable gîte, while preserving its authenticity.
We have been affiliated with "Gite de France" for years and are therefore regularly checked for quality. Because the bookings go through Gites de France, the reviews are a bit old, but still applicable.
We live next door to the gite, but privacy is really guaranteed. There is a private entrance outside and the Pigeonnier is behind our house, where we do not come.
The kitchen is complete and well equipped.
There is a colour T.V. with USB and DVD (French and free satellite channels) A Bluetooth speaker.
There are two bedrooms, one upstairs (two single beds plus space for an extra mattress) and one downstairs (double bed 160X200, also here space for cot and / or mattress), all in all more than enough for 4 to 5 people.
There is a washing machine in the bathroom.
The terrace is equipped with furniture and barbecue.
From the terrace you have a discrete view of the fenced swimming pool, for your own private use.
(10 by 5 metres, 1m.40 deep).
The property is situated on a large terrain (1 ha) where you can also use the swing, sandpit, tree house and a sheltered table tennis table and table football.
Pets are also welcome.
Your bed is made up on arrival.
There is a WIFI-ADSL internet connection.
There is a railway station at 2 km (Lexos)

In the middle of the French "countryside", in the triangle of medieval towns Cordes , Najac and St. Antonin Noble Val is our pleasant character pigeonnier at your disposal. The gîte stands in the valley of the Aveyron (river at 150 meters) in a really beautiful varied hilly landscape (geological fault line).

In St. Antonin, right through the town to get to the other side of the river, direction Varen - Laguepie. (D 115) In Lexos it becomes the D 958.
At the end of Lexos, in a sharp bend to the left, go straight on to Le Riols (signposted). (D 9)

Reviews
Sabina De Bie from Nieuwegein,
In juli 2 fantastische weken gehad bij Ben en Marja. Een superfijn huisje voorzien van alle gemakken, en daarbij een heerlijk zwembad. Wij hadden de racefiets mee en hebben echt genoten van de omgeving. We hebben prachtige routes gefiets met de daarbij horende hoogtemeters. Als fietsliefhebbers kan je hier je hart ophalen. Kortom een heerlijke vakantie om op terug te kijken, en ook onze puber dochter heeft genoten van de rust het zwembad en de omgeving. Want ook de dorpjes er omheen zijn een bezoek waard. En met dank aan Ben en Marja de twee zeer gastvrije eigennaren van deze prachtige gite/locatie. ❤️ Sabina, Martijn & Asmars
Mulder from Bunde,
We hebben het ontzettend fijn gehad bij Marja en Ben. Voor herhaling vatbaar. In de gite is alles aanwezig en tot in de puntjes verzorgd en schoon. Heel veel privacy en een heerlijk privé zwembad.
Leuke omgeving en marktjes in de buurt. Kortom een dikke tien!Tanja Scherpenzeel from Almere,
Wat een heerlijke mooie plek om een week te mogen verblijven.
Onze gite was helemaal top, het ontbreekt je aan niets.
En het gebruik van het heerlijke zwembad was zalig.
Ben en Marja zijn hele fijne mensen die je hartelijk ontvangen.
We hebben echt genoten, zeker als je van de rust en de natuur houd.
