Tarn-et-Garonne
If views are your thing then you could do a lot worse than consider the Tarn
et Garonne for your French property purchase. Lavishly rolling hills, delightful
medieval towns perched on rocky outcrops, rivers, farms and woodland make
this a true sight for sore eyes.
Moissac with its famous church, the winding streets of Montaigu de Quercy, the bastide of Lauzerte and the pretty Montcuq will all repay a visit.
Foodies should arrive with their forks at the ready - this is the land of
cabecou goat cheese and truffle, prunes, garlic and saffron and some very
good wines including Fronton and Gamay.
