Holidays next to the "canal du midi" in AGEN, France
Agen est la ville la plus importante du lot et garonne et elle est célèbre pour ses pruneaux .En fait, elle devrait plutôt l'être pour ses marchés fermiers, la qualité de ses produits : foies gras, vins, raisins, tomates... la beauté de sa campagne valonnée ornée de bastides , la forêt landaise ... Elle est située à 100 km environ de Bordeaux et de Toulouse.
La maison est typique de la vallée de la garonne. Située sur le coteau d'Agen , elle offre une vue sur la ville et le canal du midi qui passe au pied du jardin.
Elle se compose d’une grande pièce faisant office de séjour et de cuisine (équipée), d’une chambre et d’un bureau possédant un canapé-lit, et d’une salle de bains.
Le jardin comprend une cabane pour enfant, et une piscine.
Elle est adaptée pour un couple, avec un enfant.
Nous avons plusieurs chats qui vivent le plus souvent dehors.
Agen is located half way (one hour drive or train journey) between Bordeaux and Toulouse ,which are two of the largest and greatest cities of France. Not only is Bordeaux famous for its wines but the heart of the city has been listed among the Unesco World heritage sites, together with Saint Emilion and its vineyard (about 60 miles from Agen). The area is famous for its fresh products, open air markets and medieval villages ( bastides, castles,...).
Our house is ten minutes walk from the center of the city and with direct access to the canal du Midi. It is a two bedrooms place. One bedroom is with sofa bed, we use this place as an office. In the garden is a little house with slide for children and a swimming pool that we share with our daughter, her son (6) and her husband. We have cats, at summer time, they usually live outside.
