The Best Attractions In Sauliac-sur-Cele

Introducing the Lot Valley, France

The Lot Valley is one of France's best kept secrets. From the beautiful town of Villeneuve-sur-Lot in the west, Cahors and Saint-Cirq Lapopie in the centre, to Mende in the east, this spectacular, ancient region is a wonderful place for a holiday.

This Green Traveller Guide to the Lot Valley will show you how to make the most of a trip to the region. We have done the hard work for you - we have selected the best places to stay, from locally run hotels to self-catering apartments, and the best places to eat, from cafes to quality restaurants and village markets where you can buy fresh, local ingredients. We also feature a range of activities, from visiting hot-water pools to guided hikes and canoeing along the eponymous river.

Morbihan, France Is An Ideal European Retirement Destination

Get our complete report on Morbihan, France in this month's issue of the Overseas Retirement Letter:

Morbihan is an administrative département on the southern coast of Brittany, France’s northwestern-most region. Many, even those who have traveled to France before, have never heard of Morbihan. It’s the only French department whose name, meaning “little sea”, comes from the Breton language. Although few residents still speak Breton, the traditional language has left its mark on geographic terms, town and city names, and first and last names of the Breton people.

The Morbihan is made up of 261 cities and towns, and there are many more villages and hamlets in between. Your experience will be different depending on whether you choose to live in one of the larger cities of the region or in a small town. As well, the Gulf of Morbihan is home to 42 islands.

Morbihan has a rich history, spanning thousands of years, that has left visible vestiges of the region’s inhabitants from the Stone Age to the Celts to the Romans to various groups coming from the British Isles and most recently from throughout France. Along with these multiple political influences has come a variety of architectural, linguistic and cultural inspirations.

The architecture of Morbihan’s cities offers numerous half-timbered medieval buildings, while the countryside brings numerous thatched-roof stone houses, reminders of British and Irish architecture. It’s also very well known for its Neolithic sites.

As for the music produced in Brittany, the Celtic roots are the most audible. In recent decades, traditional Celtic music and modern variations of this traditional style have seen a resurgence in popularity. Especially in summertime, on any given evening you rarely have to drive more than thirty minutes to find a Celtic music concert.

You’ll live like a king in Morbihan. A 4-bedroom, 3-level home with an enclosed yard in the center of Baden is only 600 euros per month. Baden is one of the more expensive towns you could choose in Morbihan.

Morbihan is a largely rural region of France that offers an excellent quality of life compared the cost of living. If you thrive on big city excitement and cosmopolitan offerings, this may not be the ideal spot for you. It’s tough to get around all but the larger cities without a car. Although the community is generally very accepting of foreigners, it will be difficult to feel as though you fully belong with such a small (in some towns non-existent) expat presence, at least if you are not proficient in French. But Morbihan is a fantastic base for anyone enamored with the outdoors: water sports, walking, cycling. You will have the benefits of living in France (safety, exceptional health care and infrastructure, a range of cultural options) without the costs of the capital city or other more touristic areas. Morbihan is a seafood lover’s paradise. It offers a unique blend of the French and Breton-brand Celtic cultures. The climate is mild. Morbihan may be an ideal retirement destination for French speakers who prefer a more relaxed lifestyle.

200 year old French farmouse in the foothills of the Pyrenees FOR SALE

Overview
Beautifully framed by fig trees and lilac bushes, this 200 year old former farmhouse has been recently restored to extremely high standards. The ground floor has been laid to tile and all upstairs floors have new sanded and varnished floorboards.

Situation
Situated in the foothills of the Pyrenees, 30 miles from the Spanish border and within easy reach of airports and ski stations.

Roughly equidistant from both Pau and Toulouse airports, the region is easily accessible by air, rail and road. There are TGV train stations at Tarbes and Toulouse and the region is well served by the extensive regional autoroute network. This location therefore provides great accessibility to both summer and winter activities whilst offering the beauty and tranquillity associated with the south west of France and its many attractions.

Accommodation
Built to an 'L' shaped plan, the property is ideal for splitting should you wish to purchase with friends or family or indeed use one half as chambres d'hôte or a three bedroom Gite.

The main house has a good sized sitting room adjoining a separate Kitchen. A central staircase leads to a bathroom / WC and two beautifully restored bedrooms one of which uniquely incorporates the chimney stack from the sitting room below that takes the chill from the room in the winter.

The Kitchen leads into a large utility area currently used for study and reading, with stairs up to a spacious landing / gallery, three bedrooms and a bathroom / WC with shower unit.

Adjacent to the study area is a second WC opposite which is a doorway leading to a large barn. This barn, fully carpeted with Jonc de mer - which is extremely warm to the feet in the winter - and part rendered to show of the existing stonework, is fully insulated and has double glazed sling patio doors looking out onto a well kept gravel and grass frontage. Two fan assisted wood burning stoves have been installed -- one in the sitting room and one in the barn. A natural division occurs between the house and the barn and could be sealed off permanently or by just locking the kitchen door. The upstairs bedrooms in both house and barn are separated by the stone wall of the house. The study area has water and drainage so the addition of another kitchen would effectively turn the property into two with the possibilities of a commercial let or sharing a family lifestyle with a greater degree of privacy. Planning permission has been granted to make additional accommodation to the barn if required.

A pergola and Bar-B-Que area to the side of the barn give way to majestic views across the foothills of the Pyrenees and to the distant peaks along a lush valley.

Nestling in a sheltered valley with a stunning outlook over verdant foothills and the 10 thousand feet high snow capped Pic du Midi, this south easterly facing house is ideally suited for a large family or two separate family units.

Grounds & Outbuildings
The property has the latest locally approved fosse septique, ample power points, telephone and broadband is available in the area.


The price of 260,000 euros is nocociable

Moving to France - A Book About Moving to France

Illustrated by a variety of hilarious anecdotes based on my own experiences from over forty years surviving among the French, François Théodore Thistlethwaite's FRENGLISH THOUGHTS contains a host of very funny, insightful reflections on subjects such as feminism, queuing, the Puritan factor, driving in France, sporting fair play and much more - some of which is controversial enough to rock the very foundations of the Entente Cordiale.
