In the afternoon you are free to relax, go sightseeing, take a refreshing dip in our newly installed private swimming pool or if you prefer continue with your art work.

The property “Franquettes” was designed 5 years ago by Richard specifically to accommodate guests on a painting holiday. All the centrally heated, en-suite rooms are on the ground floor of a building that was designed to look like a timber tobacco-drying barn (sechoir de tabac) with its characteristic ventilation louvres. This rural part of South West France is littered with ancient examples of this type of barn. Above the guests’ bedrooms is a large (1000 sq. ft.) well equipped painting studio. If the accommodation at Franquettes is full don’t worry we can arrange suitable B&B in our village.
