This page has been writen by an english customer who came 5 years in the "gîte". He made me discover quantity of details of the wild life in Rigaud.

Are you looking for a place in the heart of  nature, where all is "Order, beauty, calm, luxury and pleasure".

Yes it still exists !

Come to Rigaud, and you will be rocked by the quivering of the leaves, the singing of the birds, the sound of  running water.

Your friends will be all kinds of wildlife : buzzards, nightjars, deer, foxes, badgers, hares …

A lake, and the scene is set. Dive into the very heart of  nature : it is all here , waiting for you !

It is up to you to  invent the  perfect holiday in keeping with all this beauty  .

Now, are you ready to change your life-style ?

 

Pierre and Solange will be delighted to welcome you and will do everything to make your stay a happy one.


Capacity : 2 adults and 1 child or baby

Situated in the countryside in 5 hectares (12 acres) of grounds, without any close neighbour, between Agen and Tournon d'Agenais, this « gîte » with its shady patio, is exceptionally quiet, and offers a beautiful panorama with a lake in the Séoune valley in the heart of the " Serres Country".

The Pays de Serre

Between the Lot and the Garonne, it stretches from their confluence right to the limits of the  Lot and the

Tarn-and-Garonne Departments.

Its name probably comes from the chalkstone ridges above the valleys. For other people, 

it's from the image of the talons of a bird of prey that this area takes its name. 

The soft hills are ideal for  mixed agriculture. Rural constructions include  washhouses, dovecotes and quaint houses. 

The numerous romanesque churches are especially remarkable for their square steeples or their arcaded belfries.

In the Pays de Serres, the invitation to visit is ever present, and guests are warmly welcomed.
