Descripción
We (Ian and Judy ) are retired teachers and have been running gites since 2007. We have 6 children and 10 grandchildren who mostly live in the UK but visit regularly. Les Moulines is within walking distance of the mediaeval town of Cordes sur Ciel. It is a rambling house with a long and interesting history. There are two gites which we regularly improve and repair during the winter months. Renovation is ongoing in the main house and the large gardens need constant attention - mowing, weeding, veg patch etc. Tree felling and pruning are popular activities!
We have a love of good food, music - there are 2 pianos available!- animals (2 dogs + 2 cats) and everything that this beautiful corner of France has to offer! We welcome non-smokers with a good sense of humour!

Les Moulines is in a very rural setting with perfect cycling terrain. We have 2 friendly dogs - a Portuguese Water Dog and a Heinz 57 plus 2 cats!
We have a games room with table tennis and table football. There are 2 pools - one exclusively for guests renting our gite - which are available for use in summer months. Cordes sur Ciel has restaurants, a bar, several shops, and banks. There are many vineyard concerts and local fetes too.
Cap decouverte is not far away with its wide range of outdoor activities - not for the faint hearted!
This region is famous for its vineyards and beautiful scenery and is often referred to as Little Tuscany. There are buses and trains to local towns such as Albi, Gaillac and Toulouse.
