“Le Roussel” is a former Gallo-Roman villa, set amid fields and an ideal place to relax and to contemplate. It is a harmonious mixture of several buildings: the home of France and Jean-Luc, who welcome their guests like old friends, the charming “Petite Maison”, the “Atelier” room and the delightful former chapel, now an unusual gite. France and Jean-Luc have used their talent to tastefully furnish and decorate the guest rooms and gite, with its small lounge and kitchen area, a real bonus for longer stays. The peaceful countryside setting makes this B&B an excellent place for meditation and inspiration, breathing in the fresh air, far from the madding crowd. The magnificent swimming pool and the nearby GR 652 long-distance footpath and Pilgrims’ Way to Santiago de Compostella complete this incomparable place in the well-preserved Lot & Garonne region. Nestling amid valleys, “Le Roussel” is close to the two charming villages of Prayssas and Montpezat, and only 15km from Villeneuve-sur-Lot and Agen, with their restaurants serving traditional dishes of the South-West. A stay at “Le Roussel” involves many encounters: with nature; with culture; with France, who is also a portrait painter and an art-history fan and who takes inspiration from her surroundings, and with Jean-Luc, a carpenter with a special talent for restoring historic buildings.
