DOMAINE
DE SAINT HENRY 2007

A five-bedroomed farmhouse for 12 in 40 acres of natural beauty, with heated pool, pet animals,and a valley to explore.
St. Henry stands on the slopes of a valley, high above the fortified
village of Laurac, once a centre of Cathar resistance to the crusades
in the violent Middle Ages ; now the only sign of menace is the
occasional bird of prey wheeling above this peaceful place. The house
stands on its own, down its own lane, its forty acres merging with
moors and common land -- it is as if the house has the whole valley to
itself. You can roam wherever you like in the valley and on the moors,
enjoying the wild-life and views in all directions. unless you wish to
spend all day in or around the pool! Despite the rural calm, it is only
ten minutes to the nearest supermarket and there are plenty of shops,
cafes and restaurants in nearby towns and villages.

| St.Henry
is no longer a working-farm; we keep animals for our (and your)
pleasure. We have a few sheep, two donkeys and a horse (which children
may occasionally ride, accompanied); cats and dogs to cuddle; rabbits,
hens, ducks and pigeons to feed (including sometimes pet-lambs to
bottle-feed). We the owners (Dominique & Tom) live in the converted
bergerie -- sheep-barn -- attached to the farmhouse: each dwelling has
its own verandah for dining outdoors, not overlooked by the other. You
would share the pool and gardens with us, but in practice you would
have these to yourselves much of the time --- and there is a lot of
space in which to be on ones' own. |
