Golf also available locally. Location of objectThe house and grounds are completely private and are not overlooked. They are approached along a private lane leading only to Le Muret and a neighbour's house some distance beyond us. The swimming pool is sited in part of the old walled vegetable garden. It is open to the sun throughout the day and early evening and enjoys the southerly views. It is ten metres by five, and at its deepest point is 1.5 metres. All around the edges it is one metre in depth. Roman steps allow easy access. The pool has a security alarm but small children should nevertheless always be supervised. The rest of the old vegetable garden is given over to flower beds (where the flowers are joined by onions that just keep coming up!) and lawn. Wooden sun loungersAltogether the garden is slightly more than two acres and, at the moment, a lot of this space is given over to wild flower meadow. There is an orchard next to a large lawn for games of boules, badminton or rounders. Garden games are provided. There are two handsome walnut trees which provide attractive and welcome dappled shade, and a hammock is slung between two plums, next to the tree house The garden is shared with tiny lizards, frogs, swallows (look out for the young birds leaning out of the nests), a barn owl, numerous small songbirds, red legged partridges, hoopoes... We are occasionally visited by deer, and there are wild boar in the woods in the valley below. Hedgehogs, toads, rabbits, hares and foxes may all put in an appearance. If you visit in May you will hear the frogs calling, and all through the summer the meadow and trees are full of singing crickets and cicada. The stars by night are magnificent, the Milky Way is clearly visible and shooting stars put on nightly shows. Town: France, Tarn, Cordes sur CielOur nearest town is Cordes-sur-Ciel (10 minutes) and we are 30 minutes from Najac and St Antonin-Noble-Val. These are fascinating medieval bastide towns, full of interest and activities. Albi, with its cathedral, Toulouse-Lautrec museum, restaurants, etc. is about 20 minutes away, and we are well placed for trips to many other bastide towns and the Gaillac vineyards. This is an area where villages tend to be ancient medieval settlements and pigeonniérs are found dotted about the fields.Cordes has a variety of restaurants, several hotels, a wonderful patisserie, butchers, banks, ironmongers, toyshop, garages and an excellent newspaper and bookshop. English newspapers are generally on sale the day after publication. In the summer months there is also a variety of specialist food/wine shops and art and local craft shops. There is a very attractive and useful market on Saturday mornings. There are also several interesting museums and the renowned 'Jardin des Paradis' gardens.
