This charming fully-restored pigeonnier (dovecote) is located at the heart of the Lot-et-Garonne. All shops and services, a Wednesday market, tennis courts and river swimming can be found at Castelmoron-sur-Lot (6km). There is a Friday market at Ste-Livrade-sur-Lot (12km), supermarkets and also horse riding. The 12th century bastide market town of Villeneuve-sur-Lot with all shopping facilities is 21km away.
There is a cycling route covering 80km along the banks of the Lot from Aiguillon (28km) to Fumel (47km). Bike hire is available at Castelmoron-sur-Lot and Villeneuve-sur-Lot. Lougratte (32km) has a good leisure lake with many water sports. River sports (canoeing, kayaking, pedoloes, boat hire) are possible on the River Lot at Casseneuil (17km) and Villeneuve-sur-Lot. There are a 9 hole golf course at Tombeboeuf (11km) and an 18 hole course at Castelnaud-de-Gratecambe (25km).
The pigeonnier enjoys open views over countryside and is surrounded by fields. It dates back to the early 19th century and stands on its own with no adjacent buildings. There is a pleasant terrace shaded by trees next to the swimming pool which is very large for a house of this size; it is heated to 27°C free of charge, weather permitting.
The interior is bright and has been recently furnished in an attractive modern style. Access to the interior is either from the pool area on the lower ground floor which has a shower room and a separate wc, or by the main entrance on the ground floor which consists of a pleasant living area with two armchairs, a dining area and a kitchen area. On the first floor are a double bedroom and a shower room with a wc. A twin bedroom is on the second floor.
