There is a corner BBQ with supplied charcoal and lighters. Outside is actually inside!! There is a very large covered area where there is shade which is needed on those very hot days when the sun is burning hot. A selection of chairs/loungers is provided. Tiled floors throughout. The pool is surrounded by stone flags which are non-slip. The Bar is an essential area of the Le Chalet. As a part of the kitchen, it is the place to relax in the shade and have a cool bottle of wine straight from the fridge after a long day sightseeing, or just to refresh after a dip in the pool.

Le Chalet offers superb views over two valleys. One is over to the West where the most wonderful sunsets can be seen. The other is to the south west with wonderful rolling hills. Nearby we have the following places of interest: Laroque-Timbaut - 3 km - bustling little village with a bank, Post Office, an Huit à Huit (co-op), Tabac/bar, two bread/patisserie shops, butcher, pharmacy, a couple of hairdressers and two snack-restaurants. There is a 12th century ?halle? and tiny medieval lanes accessed from under the clock tower. According to legend, a church and fountain in the nearby Vallon de St. Germain cured Roland?s army of a contagious disease on their way to Spain. There is also a Tourist Office which has numerous leaflets on events around the area. Local market is on Thursdays. Don?t forget the very good restaurant opposite the church with local delicacies. It is used to tourists and can supply an English menu on request.

Musée du Foie Gras ? 10 km ? The only one in France! Every Thursday evening (during summer months) they cook duck on strings above a huge fire ? served with chips ? delicious! Agen ? 12 km (on the river Garonne) is a large town with many interesting things to do. It is known as the Prune capital and there is an annual festival held in September. Agen also boasts one of the finest provincial art museums in France. In the Middle Ages section there are tombstones and effigies and a 16th century tapestry. The Gallo-Roman section houses the Vénus du Mas, a 1st century Greek marble. In another room there is a Renaissance chimneypiece, devoted to hunting and warfare. Prehistoric finds are kept downstairs where Agen used to keep its criminals ? in the dungeon. The art gallery section houses five Goyas. On the outskirts of Agen there is the 23 arch aqueduct, the Pont Canal, built in 1839, which carries the Canal Latéral over the Garonne.

Cheese Farm ? 7 km ? visit the farm to see how cheese is made. See the cows, feed the donkeys and goats, but better still, taste the cheese (without additives). Wine Domaine ? local producer is just across the valley. You can taste his wine from this year and last, and the year before. Best know wines in this area are Buzet (just across the Garonne) and Duras (about 50 miles north east). Recommended day trips are to the lovely villages of Beauville, Villeneuve-sur-Lot, (on the way visit Pujols), Montflanquin, and bastide towns like Montpazier and Lauzerte. Cahors is an excellent day trip with wonderful views over the Lot (St Cyr). A bit further away are the scenic villages of St Cirq La Popie and Rocamadour. There is a library of leaflets describing the above and many other places in Le Chalet. The Welcome Pack includes basic necessities such as wine, coffee, sugar, tea, fruit, water etc.
