La Bastide stands in 4.5 hectares of meadows and maquis in a peaceful wooded valley 10 minutes from the medieval village of Lautrec. Albi the capital of Tarn is 35 minutes away. The Tarn is an unspoiled area of Southern France and very convenient for holiday-makers using the low cost airlines flying to Toulouse, Carcassonne and Rodez.

Why choose the Tarn?

The Tarn is where the Mediterranean and Atlantic climates meet. Its equitable climate is drier than the Dordogne and not as fiercely hot as Provence. You will find far fewer English residents here than in the Dordogne. Stay in a Tarn gite and you’ll be living in a traditional corner of the South of France.

Experienced gite renters know the advantage of booking with owners who live nearby. We can deal with late arrivals, advise on doctors restaurants local services and activities, and respond promptly to any problems.
