About this property

Ancient barn tastefully restored 4 kilometres from Cordes sur Ciel Tarn

The 35 square metre terrace provides an enjoyable outdoor living, a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature, lovely evenings and nights where you can enjoy the moon and gaze at the stars. The 85 square metre indoor floor space has a comfortable sitting area and provides most home entertainments, LCD TV, DVD, CD player, iPod dock, books and games. The kitchen is fully equipped. Dining area is quaint with good quality crockery. Upstairs sleeping area is spacious and can sleep up to 3 comfortably but being a loft has limited privacy. The space uses an evaporative bio cooler to cool the air. The bathroom offers a wide shower enclosure. Although La Terrasse has an independent north entrance you are welcome to use the garden gate where you will find ample place for parking and a cool porch for the hot afternoons. We live in the next village Mouzieys-Panens (1.4 km) and we will always be available to ensure that your stay will be memorable.


La Terrasse is the start of beautiful walks, hikes with well mapped and maintained hiking paths. Within short distances you will be able to visit many picturesque old villages and medieval Bastide towns, the most renowned being Cordes Sur Ciel, churches, museums, castles and the spectacular Episcopal city of Albi with its old quarters being a UNESCO world heritage site. You can also stroll in botanical gardens, buy local products at colourful open markets in Cordes, Gaillac and Saint Antonin, visit the castles of Gaillac, the local wineries and enjoy wine tasting. Gaillac is one of France's oldest viticulture areas, established in Roman times. Find antiques or curiosities in the many outdoor flea markets. Dance and eat in the local festivals organised in many villages during July and August. Cultural activities are plenty such as, live theatre, modern, jazz or classical music festivals, and concerts in churches, cathedrals or parks. The region has a rich historical past.
You will be able to practice most water sports and spectacular sports such as giant zip wires, dry slope skiing, paint ball to name a few in Cap Decouverte (https://www.capdecouverte.com/), a short distance from La Terrasse, situated in an old pit mine and forms an amphitheatre 1300 meters in diameter and 230 meters deep. Water parks are available in Albi and Le Garissou (https://www.piscine-legarissou.fr/), 5 kilometres from La Terrasse. Other activities include horse riding, canoeing, kayaking, golf, and tennis.
The lake in Monestiés offers swimming, water sports and nice picnic areas, or you may be adventurous and discover the many swimming holes in the local river Le Cérou. And why not relax, stay away from it all, sunbathe, read and day dream on the terrace of La Terrasse.

Tranquility in the countryside
Françoise was superb in locating and taking us to the property after we found ourselves lost. She was superb in showing us throughout the property and organising our first days meals . The property Was wonderfully clean. The views across the valley from the terrace was stunning With lovely sublime sunsets. Thank you Françoise and Modji.

peaceful and idyllic
If you are looking for a peaceful break in beautiful surroundings then La Terrasse is the place to go (I want to go back). The gite is so clean and smells amazing! The owners Francoise and Moji are incredibly helpful (when you need them, otherwise you don't know they are there) and have thought of everything you could possibly need to make your stay comfortable and relaxing. The location is great - but you do need a car to get around to the interesting locations such as the beautiful medieval town of Cordes-sur-Ciel; though you could easily forget about sight-seeing and just relax in the comforts of this lovely gite. Thank you Francoise and Moji for being such thoughtful hosts and for making our week with you so relaxing.

A wonderful 25 days
We spent 25 lovely days living in Francoise & Mojis restored barn "La Terrasse" - we so enjoyed its large terrace. As hosts, they were outstanding providing facilities & information beyond expectations and yet not being in any way intrusive during our visit. The surrounding area is lovely and we enjoyed a number of excellent walks as well as visiting many cute villages. A car is necessary, the nearest shops being 5 km away. We recommend this lovely gite in its garden setting to everyone who wants to experience French country life in a great area, supported by wonderful hosts. Thank you Francoise and Moji - we hope we meet again one day. Marc & Helen - New Zealand

A very peaceful and beautiful spot for a quiet and relaxing holiday.
We thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the sun drenched terrace admiring the view, and our hosts' generous hospitality and friendliness. The surrounding area is full of historical interest and there are plenty of walks too. The barn was very well-equipped and very comfortable.

About the host

Hosted by P J and Pippa

Host profile image
Pippa and I (P J) moved to France from Cape Town, South Africa, in September 2019. We bought a 200 year old house and barn in the 13th century village of Mouzieys-Panens. We have been renovating the property and are busy creating a Kundalini yoga studio and an art and pottery studio. While walking our dog, Joséfine, we met Moji and Françoise, the owners of La Terrasse. They bought this 16th ruin in 1997. Using local skilled stone masons and carpenters to help him, Moji restored the ruin. The west end of the building which has a magnificent terrace was turned into a cosy nest for friends and family. This was later rented out as a holiday Gîte. So much gratitude to Moji and Françoise for allowing us to manage this stunning Gîte on their behalf.

Why they chose this property

La Terrasse is only 1.4 kilometres from our home. My mother had a house close to Carcassonne, which we visited often, and so I have come to love the South West area of France. We were looking for a home in an area that attracted many holidaymakers and visitors. The vicinity connected by the UNESCO world heritage city of Albi, the market town of Gaillac and the medieval village of Cordes-sur-Ciel is known as the “triangle d’or” or “the golden triangle”. This is due to the richness and variety of the history, beauty and gastronomy that can be discovered in abundance in this area. The house and barn we bought has great proportions and a stunning view.

What makes this property unique

We spent the good part of a day looking over the house that first time and we kept going back outside to look at the view down the valley. We also noticed how quiet and peaceful it was. Once we had moved in our neighbours made us feel most welcome. La Terrasse has the same feeling and is such a peaceful retreat with its beautiful view nestled in greenery.
