    Wonderful and characterful building in a fascinating old hill top town and close to many interesting sites. Great breakfast with home made compote and jams. Wonderful views from the bedrooms.

We fell in love with Les Chimeres as soon as we saw it all those years ago...despite being a ruin! Even bought it WITHOUT seeing inside....wonderful atmosphere and wonderful views. Oh and it's meant to be haunted....sorry, can't guarantee ghost tho..
Artist, ex-nurse and midwife....and teacher!! First came to Puylaroque in 1981 ...still here!! As seen on Four in a bed (France series 3) on Channel 4
Ideally situated between Cahors and Montauban and only an hour's drive from Toulouse. Lots of mediaeval villages to visit not too far away....St Cirq la Popie, St Antonin Noble Val where they filmed Charlotte Gray and A 100 steps with Helen Mirren. Bruniquel, Puycelsi are also worth a visit and if you drive a bit further, Cordes, Moissac and Albi are delightful.
