The 10m x 5m swimming pool is newly installed and has roman steps at the shallow end (1.2m) with a gentle slope to the deep end, (1.6m). The pool has a paved surround with a large sun terrace. There are Tables, chairs, loungers, sun umbrellas & covered pergola for when the sun gets a little too hot.
We have two large natural ponds which are constantly fed from a spring alongside the entrance drive.
Surrounded by interesting wildlife, you may often see large terrapins (which are native to the area) in the ponds, several species of frogs and visiting ducks and herons. A wide variety of uncommon birds can be seen in and around the gardens and meadows including kingfishers, hoopoes and hen harriers. We often see deer in the adjoining fields in the early morning.
The predominant views are over our meadows to the tower of the 14th century Chateau de Gurson.

Attractions Lac De Gurson
Within easy walking distance (1km) is the Lac de Gurson. This lake complex was built about twenty years ago by all the local communes. It has two large lakes, one has a beach area with beach type cafes, bars and restaurants. There are areas for fishing and quiet paths which are excellent for walks, and also two very good tennis courts, and a boules area.
Villefranche-de-Lonchat
At the top of our 200 metre entrance drive is a country lane which leads in one direction to our local village of Villefranche-de-Lonchat which is less than 2km away. The village has a great deal of history associated with it dating back to the 12th century. There are two churches dating from the 14th century and a museum has been established in the Hotel de Ville to illustrate the local history. Villefranche has a pretty tree lined village square, two cafes, restaurant, boulangerie, butcher, post office, pharmacy and a general store.
Beautiful Countryside
Turning out of our entrance drive away from Villefranche leads through many hectares of woodland to the pretty hilltop village of St. Vivien. In all directions there are picturesque country lanes winding through forests, fields of sunflowers, wheat, maize or cattle, sheep and goats, ... and only the occasional tractor or car. The area is superb for walking or cycling.
