 If your criteria is an
outstanding gite
in a
picturesque
area,
then "Bienvenue a Les Peupliers!"
Here you will find
yourself centred in a hidden part of France;
a
picturesque landscape of
single-track
lanes winding past vineyards, orchards and sunflower fields to beautiful
old
Bastide villages.*
You will be living in a
tastefully renovated,
four bedroomed, five bathroomed,
350 year-old
pantiled-farmhouse in this
lovely, quiet,
area of Aquitaine
where, some 100 kms south-east of Bordeaux, two of France's
principle rivers meet, so giving our
"Departement" its name -
Le Lot-et-Garonne. |
|
|
|
|
 |
This is an area
of history and
discovery. For example, did you know that Monet found and bought his famous water-lilies
here?
The nursery where he bought them and had them shipped
to Giverny still exists and is
just a 'stone's throw' away.
So, why not come to us and
discover more
places like this - places, vistas and vantage points that you might never find
without the helpful and detailed guide notes we provide. We did it for
Rick Stein; we can do it for you!
|
| |
|
|
 And,
like Rick, why not take some time to explore and enjoy the
great food and wine this region has to offer. Meet the
charming and
incredibly friendly local people. Experience the
wonderful luminosity of this
gorgeous countryside.
Relax and enjoy yourself in our pleasant garden. Swim all
season round in the heated pool,
sunbathe or sit with a glass of excellent local wine in the
shade of the traditional and original 'galerie" (covered
terrace).
Take an evening stroll along the beautiful
Canal Latéral and sample
our 'local' "La
Halte Nautique", featured in
Rick Stein's BBC cookery series 'A
French Odyssey' in September 2005. If you want a self-catering holiday with a difference,
staying in quality accommodation in a beautiful, un-crowded
and unspoilt area of France, then
"Les Peupliers" offers you a great opportunity |

The following are extracts from some client
comments :
"Jill & Pete, two of the nicest people we have ever met. Thank
you for an unforgettable holiday in the most beautiful part of
France! The best accommodation we have ever known in all our
villa/gite holidays. Five star plus. Having a "tourist info
centre" next door is a great advantage and much appreciated.
Unfortunately for you two, we are sure to be back!"

"We really have had a super holiday thanks to a combination
of the house, location and your own helpful, friendly approach.
This was the best holiday accommodation we have ever had. We have
so many memories to treasure, including the magnificent evening
markets, the lovely walks along the canal and many happy hours by
the pool. We especially want to thank you for your kindness while
we have been here and thanks too to Vétou and Babeth (for the
superb 'Rick Stein' meal!)"
