  Descripción

  We are a couple of retired, senior, professional, Brits, living deep in some of the least known but most beautiful countryside in France, growing old disgracefully!
  
  We love music and books, and have a working relationship with a family of about five feral cats who live out on our land.

  Puylaurens is the birthplace of Marianne, the symbol of the French Republic. Its history goes back to Gaul; the Romans were here. The Montagne Noir is visible from our lane, and, many days the panorama of the Pyrénées is to be seen from the village. We have a huge and very intelligent library at the house, and there is a basic, decidedly retro, but effective, radio studio, to facilitate your podcast! There is a pool.

  Alojamiento

  One option would be a (largely*) self-contained two room apartment in the sous-sol.
  *The house washing machine is down there and we'd share it by arrangement.
  
  The second option is a bedroom in the house, with shared facilities but iwn bathroom.

  We're an hour from the rose pink city of Toulouse, and a different hour from Carcassonne. Albi is an hour north. Castres is about 15km away, with its shops, Top 14 rugby team, and the newly-refurbished Goya Museum. Restaurants are everywhere. Graulhet and Corbières are the wines that are drunk, and cassoulet the dish of the region.
