In a charming, historically interesting, hilltop village, with attractive views over the Canal Lateral and the River Garonne, is this comfortable village house, restored by its present owners to create modern facilities without losing the period charm.

The village has good basic services, including a bank, post office, chemist, weekly market, 2 grocers, baker, 2 bar/restaurants and a marina with mooring and boathiring facilities. The C12th church is famous for displaying an original painting by Rembrandt.

The larger towns of Marmande, Tonneins and Casteljaloux are within 10-15 minutes drive. The Atlantic coast and the airports at Bordeaux and Biarritz can all be reached in an hour.

Accommodation: 85m² on each of 2 floors + 85m² basement.
