  • El Palomar is a unique and beautiful stone cottage in a truly beautiful area of Southwest France. Camille has a wonderful sense of design and has created an atmosphere that is charming and comfortably elegant with the colors and textures of Provence country homes. The first floor is a cozy country kitchen with all of the modern amenities, including an induction cooktop range. Wow, we never saw water boil that fast! The entire second floor is a nicely appointed living room that is bright and airy all times of the day. We loved the third floor bedroom with its beamed ceiling, great armoire and comfortable bed with nice linens. We have to say that anyone who stays in this wonderful home will keep taking pictures of it to send back to family and friends! The location is perfect for walking. On a regular basis we took short walks to the local boulangerie and to the center of Cordes sur Ciel, a spectacular bastide and one of the best medieval hill towns in the area. We also took many longer walks in the countryside passing through fields of sunflowers, tiny villages, and vineyards. There are many notable small towns within a short drive to explore including Penne, Bruniquel, and St. Antonin. Most local villages have market days. Albi is a very nice mid-sized city that’s about a 30 minute drive from El Palomar that features an amazing gothic brick cathedral (Cathédrale Sainte-Cécile d'Albi) and the Musée Toulouse Lautrec. Also, Albi has many nice restaurants and stores. Camille was completely gracious in providing us information about the area and introducing us to her delightful friends who live near El Palomar. Catherine and John were extremely generous and made us feel very welcome. Overall, we found El Palomar to provide the perfect mix of relaxation, walking, touring, and exploring. We of course won’t forget the fresh food and great wines too! We are so thankful to Camille for sharing her wonderful home. It’s a real gem!

  • We've highly appreciated staying at your cottage which is more than romantic, it is a trip through centuries. We've felt at home with space inside and outside the house, confortable and clean. The area is also fantastic and quiet. We dream to come back soon. Jacinthe, Québec
