SW France ~ Auvillar.

Le Farat  

(where we stayed)

Le Farat offers two gites for larger groups and families 

with a B and B attached to the owners residence.

We were most comfortable in the well appointed suite.

The hallway of the owners residence

was so beautiful!

Lots of old furniture mixed with art and antiques.

Le Farat have a great website if you want to read a bit more about their holiday accommodations.

There is an outdoor pool and a games room.

We loved the luxurious touches offered by our hosts.

The area in which this residence is situated is called Bardiques

a short 7 minute drive from Auvillar.

Auvillar is a small village on the Garonne River.

Our friends John and Cheryl live there.

Market Day

The Village Church.

We used the Village as a home base and drove around to explore 

other Villages during the day.

Moissac

A UNESCO site

With the oldest Cloisters in the World.

Stained Glass Window by Marc Chagall

We visited on a Monday and Moissac was very quiet.

Sundays and Mondays in the SW of France businesses are usually closed.

Seen from the car in the middle of a farming area.

Rolling Hills and very Pastoral.

The tiny little Village of La Chapelle nestled up in the hills...

the church was open

hardly anyone was out and about.

We spent most evenings with our friends making dinner and sipping wine.

It was so fabulous seeing them and it was difficult saying goodbye as we flew off to Paris...
