The three-story Pigeonnier tower shelters 2 large bedrooms, each with a private bath or shower, toilet and sink. On the ground level is a cool and cozy sitting room and my well-loved and recently renewed kitchen completely equipped for cooking our favorite local Gascon cuisine. The welcoming table on the garden terrace is yours to lunch and dinner on, as well as a large BBQ area and wood-fired oven. All the shady nooks and crannies of our one-acre park complete with pétanque court and hammocks are at your disposal. While attached to the newly-restored 3 bedroom barn where I live, the guesthouse has its own private entrances and ample parking.
The Guesthouse at Camont (995 sq.ft) is attached to the main building but with separate entrances. It features:
Two bedrooms- one on the second and third floors . We offer our guests quality linens, large bath towels, down pillows and anti-allergen pillows, hairdryers, natural French bathroom amenities, and international plug adapters. We often sleep with our windows open; there are no screens but we use electric mosquito repellent. Each room wooden floors, a desk, a ceiling fan, and an opening window.
Bedroom #1 (200 sq.ft) : Queen bed (160cm), deep clawfoot bathtub and sink, and toilet en suite.
Bedroom #2 (200 sq.ft) : Double bed (140 cm) and single bed (110 cm), shower, sink and toilet en-suite.
Sitting room (225 sq.ft) - ground floor
Camont is located just 15 minutes from Agen’s TGV train station and all the shopping and markets of this lively department seat. Bakeries, butcher shops, and other daily needs are just 3 minutes away in our neighboring villages. Beyond that is the sunflower carpeted countryside of Gascony dotted with medieval stone villages with lively weekly farmers markets, award-winning vineyards, and Armagnac cellars. Summer evenings are long and celebrated in festive village street fairs and open air markets while restaurants serve under tree sheltered courtyards.
Camont sits on the Canal de Garonne and affords a chance to fish for small river fish, paddle along the canal in a kayak, or row a small boat for a quiet hour at sunset. The Voie Verte is a paved bike path that runs from Bordeaux to Marseille on the far bank of the canal while on Camont’s side there is a grassy tow path for strolling along. Generally a calm neighborhood with few houses along our country lane, we encourage choosing Camont as a quiet creative retreat rather than a party house.
