La Borde Basse is exactly what a French farmhouse should be – welcoming, comfortable and with lots of space, all in a wonderful and peaceful setting. The house with its sheltered swimming pool is surrounded by 9 acres of private grounds at the end of a half-mile drive –no neighbours to disturb, so brilliant for mixed-age family parties!

There is plenty to do and see both locally and slightly further afield, from fortified castles to pretty bastide villages, colourful markets, underground caves and kayaking on the river Lot.
