Bonnefon - CESTAYROLS

Bonnefon in Occitan means "good spring," the Bonnefon gîtes, a hidden place, a small valley in the heart of the vineyard The Bonnefon cottages, a hidden gem, a small valley nestled in the heart of the vineyards. A true protected area where deer, hares, and herons find natural refuge. The spring in the small wood feeds the lake, a veritable oasis of coolness, where trout, roach, gudgeon, and tench thrive. Two rural cottages are tucked away here: the Bonnefon cottage right next to the lake, and Le Carretou (reference G489 on Gîtes de France, sleeps 6), a little further on, behind the wheat field. Both houses are typical of the Cordes plateau, built entirely of white stone, which stays wonderfully cool in summer.
