    What else ...

    Sorry but we cannot accommodate vegans or smokers on our farm.
    We are in the Lot department in France (south west), with lovely sightseeing opportunities on your days off.
    We can drive you to the next bus stop ( 20 minutes away) .
    We are about an hour and forty from Toulouse and about an hour from Cahors.
    Our minimum stay is 4 weeks as it takes time to get used to the routine.
    Please note that we live in a very rural area and while life on the farm is busy it's very much a country life.
