Home description

The property has been very well renovated by the current owners to provide a very high standard of holiday accommodation.

Facilities include a Large Swimming Pool, Free use of Table Tennis and much more. We also have an extensive library of books and DVDs, and games for your use.

Whether this is your first trip to the South of France or a return visit we think you'll find this location a perfect base for exploring or for use as a quiet hideaway where you can relax by the pool, take leisurely strolls along the canal or cycle through the lanes and just ...unwind.

La Reole Fontet area
Fontet is a very attractive village set beside the canal, worth exploring, from its open bell tower church to its tiny museum (Musee des allumettes) dedicated to match stick models.
For the family visit the local mariner (Base de loisirs Halte nautique) where children can safely swim in the lake or play on the man made beach. There is a beach bar for light refreshments and ice creams.
In the village you will find a Boulangerie and a very good restaurant (Les Fontines) both within a short stroll from Lordons.
There are many horse riding stables close by who cater for all levels. There are numerous walks along the Canal du Midi/The Canal Lateral which runs through the village stretching from the Mediterranean Sea to Bordeaux, the Canal being the back drop for Rick Stein’s French Odyssey. Across the valley, is the ancient river port town of La Reole.

La Reole is a medieval fortress town (Approx 5 minutes drive) it boasts a wealth of medieval architecture along a well-signposted walk through its narrow, streets, Visit France's oldest town hall, constructed for Richard the Lion heart in the twelfth century, and the well-preserved simple Abbaye des B
