Description
LOCATION
Mille Founs sits on one of the region's highest points and commands spectacular views for hundreds of miles to the south. Surrounded by rolling countryside and woodland, Mille Founs offers total privacy and relaxation in a unique location.

The house is 4km from the charming village of Verfeil-Sur-Seye which has a bakery, bar and village store and about 13km from the medieval town of St Antonin with its amazing architecture and renowned Sunday market.

PROPERTY
Mille Founs is a sympathetic restoration of an old farmhouse and adjoining barn dating back many centuries, with wonderful original exposed oak beams, chestnut floors and stonework. The 3 large double bedrooms are arranged over 3 floors in the farmhouse, while the living areas and kitchen are situated in the spacious, open-plan converted barn with its impressive beamed roof structure.

The house is several minutes walk away from the nearest neighbours, offering total seclusion and tranquility with stunning views. The terrace in front of the house has a table and benches for dining al fresco and a BBQ. There are also garden chairs.

The hill-top private swimming pool (10m x 5m) has Roman steps and is a constant depth of 1.3m. There are plenty of parasols and loungers arranged around the pool terrace for total relaxation and sunbathing. Pool toys are also provided for children and the pool area is fenced and gated for safety.

With many trees in the grounds, there are lots of shady spots for guests to sit and enjoy a good book. The extensive grounds and surrounding countryside offer plenty of opportunities for walks and nature lovers will be amazed by the varieties of wild flowers, butterflies and birds which fill this unspoilt corner of France.

We are pleased to provide excellent facilities for infants and children. The owners have 2 young children of their own, who delight in being able to play safely in the fields around the house, collecting flowers and watching insects and having the freedom to run about completely untroubled by traffic or other people.

The Area
The properties are approximately a day's drive from the Channel Ports and just over an hour from Toulouse Airport. Rodez airport is on average 1 hour 15 mins and Carcassone 2 hours to most of the properties.

All properties are just short drives from Medieval towns steeped in history which still enjoy a quiet sophistication, together with friendly local people who have a warmth to match their lovely countryside. The area is unspoilt by the over-crowding of tourists experienced nowadays in many parts of France.

All properties enjoy a panoramic view and mostly are surrounded on all sides by open countryside. The properties offer tranquility and relaxation and yet are still within easy reach of amenities.

LOCAL ATTRACTIONS
Nearby are Medieval villages, Bastide towns, Chateaux, Abbeys, Churches and magnificent natural sites of outstanding beauty; whether it be wooded valleys or the meandering River Aveyron with its dramatic gorges.

ACTIVITIES
Horse riding, canoeing, fishing, bird watching, rail trips, rock climbing, wine tasting, museums, pot-holing, tennis and of course walking. Golf is available at Albi (18-hole delightful course), where there is also a water-park for children. An afternoon's excursion by canoe through the Aveyron Gorge is considered a 'must' by nearly all guests.

A number of local villages and towns have interesting and colourful markets. (NB: Be sure not to miss the local market in St Antonin held on SUNDAY mornings and Villefranche on Thursdays).

EXCURSIONS BY CAR
Within short driving distances, excursions can also be made to a number of fascinating towns and villages including Cordes, Albi, Najac, Cahors, St Antonin Noble Val and Bruniquel, all of which are well worth a visit. The larger towns house excellent restaurants to cater for all budgets.
