The house
LE PETIT DOMAINE DE TOUFFAILLES - Holiday home LE TOURNESOL - In the beautiful South of France in the green hills and between the sunflower fields you will find this charming ancient gîte Le Tournesol. The gîte is located on a small and child-friendly holiday domain. The domain comprises a studio, three holiday homes (Le Tournesol, Le Vignoble & La Cave) and the owners' house (La Grange). During the summer months, we stay elsewhere a short distance from the domaine, but are present daily and always available. La Grange is also offered for rent during this period. There is a beautiful heated swimming pool of 10 by 5 metres. The domain is located on one side of the forest where walking and cycling routes are laid out. And what's really nice is that you can walk to the bakery from your holiday home!
The attractive gîte is a fully equipped authentic holiday home of 70 m2 for a maximum of 5 people. Here you will experience the real French feeling. From the living room and kitchen you have a beautiful view over the low-lying village. The house consists of 2 floors, has 2 bedrooms and a bathroom with toilet. The kitchen is equipped with all modern conveniences. The master bedroom has a double bed of 160 cm by 200 cm, which can be supplemented with a camp bed. In the children's bedroom there is a bunk bed and a single bed (80x200cm), here too a camp bed can be added. The cottage is very suitable for both couples and families with children.
There is a lovely large private terrace in the courtyard. There are also several relaxation areas and seats in the grounds which can be used. There is also a private barbecue. The swimming pool of 10 by 5 metres, which is shared with the tenants of the other gîtes and owners, completes the holiday feeling.
High chair, camp bed and baby bath are on request and are provided free of charge. For children (and adults too, of course), in addition to the pool, there is also a trampoline, playground equipment, football table and table tennis table.
How nice is that? We can make sure the beds are wonderfully made, the towels and beach towels are ready and the kitchen is stocked with hand, tea and dish towels. Salt and pepper, coffee filters, washing-up liquid, dishwasher cubes, hand soap, bin liners, washing-up liquid and the first rolls of toilet paper are also provided.
On the domaine there is a laundry room with washing machine (free), dryer (for a fee) and iron which can be used. There is also space to store bicycles if necessary.
Free Wi-Fi is available.

There is plenty to do around Le Petit Domaine. From the domain you can walk straight into the forest, from a short walk with the little ones or a day trip through the beautiful forests, valleys and sunflower fields, it is a true paradise for hikers. There is also plenty of water fun to be found in the area and you can enjoy beautiful old bastides and fine (evening) markets. Or a trip to a castle, a climbing, water or amusement park, the possibilities are endless.
TOUFFAILLES
The village of Touffailles, with almost 400 inhabitants, is located in the northwest of the Tarn and Garonne department in southern France and is about 1050 km from Utrecht. It is a beautiful rolling region with sunflower fields and is also called the Tuscany of France. In the morning, you can get your fresh baguette on foot from the bakery at the bottom of the street. It is a small but lively village that also has its own town hall, post office and primary school.
THE REGION
The region is known for its wines, fruit orchards, plums, nuts, foie gras, confit de canard, sunflower fields, ... and is dotted with numerous medieval towns (Bastides) where it is nice to stay. These towns are often located on the tops of hills that offer great views over the surrounding area. Furthermore, there are all kinds of nice markets, beautiful swimming locations, vide-greniers (flea and brocante markets), castles, larger cities for shopping (Cahors, Montauban, Toulouse, Agen) and beautiful routes for walking and cycling or exploring by car or motorbike. One moment you are driving through fields of rapeseed, vineyards or sunflowers, and the next you are driving through an idyllic bastide village. And how about wine tasting?
NATURE
Hospitality, tranquillity and space characterise the region. Here you are in the beautiful and green south of France with a wonderfully pleasant climate. Around you, in the beautiful hills, you will find, besides unspoilt nature, sunflower fields, vineyards and fruit orchards.

Restaurants, food & wine
MARKETS
There are plenty of markets to be found in the area and it is a fine holiday ritual: strolling around stalls full of fresh seasonal produce and then drinking coffee at the Café du Marché. French markets are lavish, colourful, fragrant and - also important - nicely priced. Some fine markets in the area are in Montcuq, Moissac and Cahors.
SUMMER EVENING MARKETS
There are great night markets in summer where you eat your purchases on the spot at long picnic tables. With a bottle of wine and live music to go with it! The favourite time business of the French translates in the South of France into an unparalleled phenomenon: the summer food markets of the French campaign. You can hardly get more 'slow living' than that. There are various names for it; marché paysan, marché nocturne, marché gourmand or marché des producteurs de pays. Broadly speaking, it boils down to the same thing: freshly prepared food from produce such as farmhouse chicken, duck, lamb or goose, locally grown salad, really tasty tomatoes - no Dutch water bombs! -, fresh fruit, (goat) cheeses, ice cream and wine or delicious aperitifs you buy at the stall like at a normal market. You genuinely feel like a real Frenchman or Frenchwoman for a moment as you sit down at the long tables on the always atmospheric village square, in an old barn or sometimes even in the courtyard of a medieval castle.
TASTINGS
WINES - TASTING STATION
Along the road, you will sometimes see the sign 'degustation' at an attractive wine château. If so, be sure to stop and go inside. After all, there is a wine tasting room there. Not that there are always organised tastings, but the owner will let you taste different types of wine so that you can make a choice and buy a few bottles of the best.
FINALLY
Furthermore, the region is known for its fresh fruit from the orchards, nuts, foie gras, confit de canard, truffles and much more. Come and enjoy all this cosiness and goodies!
Activities
MEDIEVAL VILLAGES AND TOWNS
This area is an ideal holiday destination for a versatile holiday. The combination of the wonderful climate, beautiful landscapes and plenty of water make this area an ideal holiday destination for young and old.
The region is dotted with numerous medieval towns (Bastides) where it is nice to stay. These towns are often located on the tops of hills offering beautiful views over the surrounding area. Lauzerte, Moissac, Penne-d'Agenais and Auvillar are some examples of these beautiful Bastides.
CASTLES AND ABBEYS
CASTLES
France and castles, the two are inseparable. From the sober, ancient castles of the Cathars to the exuberant buildings along the Loire, each region has its own highlights and peculiarities. Some were once designed as robust defences, others as paragons of wealth and culture. Nearby, Bonaguil Castle and Gavaudun Castle are definitely worth a visit!
ABDIVES
France's abbeys and monasteries are some of the most beautiful places in the country. You can find them in every region, and almost every ancient monastery has an eventful history. One moment monastic life was flourishing, but the next century the monks could be brutally murdered and the buildings razed to the ground. Fortunately, we now live in more peaceful times, at least as far as monasteries are concerned, and we can now fully enjoy the beautiful places the monks chose to retire to over time. Fine examples are the abbey of Moissac and the abbey of Belleperche.
WATERPRET
Around Touffailles there is plenty of water fun to be found! Of course, we have our own beautiful 5 by 10-metre swimming pool, which you can make unlimited use of during your stay.... In addition, Le Petit Domaine is located between the rivers Tarn, Garonne and Lot. You can swim in these rivers, but canoes, kayaks and boats can also be hired. There are also beautiful lakes nearby, some of which also offer pedalos and other water fun such as in Montcuq and Montaigu-de-Quercy. The area is mainly characterised by beautiful nature with plenty of peace and quiet where mass tourism is not to be found.

FLEA MARKETS/BROCANTES
Anyone visiting France can hardly avoid the flea markets, loft sales and antique markets. Almost every village has a flea market at least once a year. Here you have real junk ('Vide Grenier', emptying the attic) or a brocante. A brocante also has more traders with antiques. From wine glasses to classic cars and motorbikes to farm carts, you will find everything. Often the atmosphere is very relaxed. French people often do such things purely for entertainment too.
