Pool Sitting on its own sheltered terrace overlooking fields and woods – this heated pool makes
a perfect centrepiece for your holiday. The state-of-the-art salt-treatment system means – no more reddened eyes!
The water remains silky soft and does not damage your hair or skin as you might find with a chlorine-pool.
The pool is heated from (usually) mid April to
the end of September and if the weather remains favourable into October. The pool is closed during the rest of the year.
Whether you fancy a whole day relaxing on the pool terrace or a quick dip after sightseeing you will find the pool
soon becomes a favourite spot. All our guests
are welcome to use the pool when staying with us – we only ask that you use a pool towel with you. (Anyone unable to
bring a pool towel can arrange to have one provided - please see booking form)

The bird life is varied, colourful and plentiful - a real joy for bird watchers, either from
our garden and terraces or wandering around the local countryside. On most Summer nights we are 'talked to' by the resident
Scops Owls. We keep a book to help identify birds in the gardens and surrounding areas.
|
You will also find wild flowers and orchids growing in the hedge-rows, fields, woods and paths
that you will not have seen for years or maybe ever - early Summer, late Spring is particularly good for finding many different
orchids and rare flowers.

As well as passing meadows of corn, sunflowers you will find fields of fruit trees and pastures of very lazy
cows.

During July the landscape turns yellow and the famous sunflowers light up the region. |

Whether in the gardens at Las Razes or exploring the local countryside you will be amazed at the amazing numbers,
colours and types of insects and butterflies.

plenty of chairs and tables around the garden is perfect for reading, painting or catching up on some sleep.
