Our house is in the town of St Antonin Noble Val, in Tarn et Garonne, in the Midi Pyrenees region. Trains stop in a village 10 minutes away by taxi. Toulouse is an hour away by car and is served by the funky and modern Aéroport Toulouse-Blagnac which owes its quality to the fact that it is the HQ of Airbus.

Here is a photo of the village from the Averyon cliffs... click on it and it will enlarge so you can locate the house (do be patient- it's a large file). It is in a great position metres from the boulangerie and a short walk to a number of cafes. For the active, kayaking, rock climbing, and mountain cycling are just some of the activities. And for quiet times, a unique aspect of the house is the large garden - there are actually 3 allotments as part of this property. Note that the furnishings will be changing late January as the house photos were taken before l'acte de vente was signed and the vendors had moved out. The house will get an external paint in Spring.

Villages such as Bruniquel, Najac and Penne, seen below, are only a short drive away. Beautiful cities such as Toulouse, Montauban, and Albi are no more than an hour's drive from St Antonin (pronounced "Saint Anton - nah"). For an overview of the region, our friends at the Midi-Pyrénées Regional Tourist Board are worth a visit. One of their videos gives over-the-top picture of the region. But staying local, this short tour of St Antonin N.V. (care of "borrowed" footage") shows the town on market day.
