This delightful villa is situated in a rural location in the heart of the Lot-et-Garonne near the ancient Bastide village of Monclar d'Agenais. The tiny village of Monclar sits high on a hilltop, and has a general store, tabac, butchers, chemist and post office. A short drive will bring you to the small market town of Ste Livrade and a further 10 minutes will bring you to the major provincial town of Villeneuve-sur-Lot with many restaurants, banks and shopping facilities.

This beautiful region of south west France has much to offer. Lot-et-Garonne is named after its two principal rivers. The Garonne is one of the major rivers in France, running from the Pyrenees (where it has its source in Spain) to the Atlantic at Bordeaux. The Lot rises in the Massif Central and flows through some of the most beautiful scenery in France to join the Garonne north west of Agen.

Lot-et-Garonne, just south of the Dordogne, is still a well-guarded secret with historic towns and villages, and breathtaking countryside. In July this department is a mass of bright yellow as the sunflower crop, grown for vegetable oil, matures. The region also produces a large amount of tabacco, and is famous for its Pruneaux d'Agen (prunes). Finally, of course, many acres are devoted to vineyards, producing excellent wines.
