Surrounded by glorious fields, sometimes golden with sunflowers, Le Pigeonnier Jean Blanc offers a rare chance to stay in an original pigeonnier tower, sensitively restored for up to 4 guests with its own gorgeous swimming pool.
Inside, the pigeonnier reveals an open-plan living and dining space with exposed stone walls, timber accents and old French doors leading directly onto the garden terrace. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need for relaxed, self-catered dining, while the adjoining lounge provides a welcoming space to unwind. A twin bedroom opens directly to the garden, ideal for easy outdoor living, while a narrow spiral staircase leads to the first-floor double bedroom tucked beneath the tower’s original beams. A shower room can also be found upstairs.
Step outside to dine al fresco on the terrace with elevated views across the countryside and the scent of summer herbs drifting from the barbecue. The private pool invites hours of basking in the sunshine, framed by open skies and the gentle rustle of nearby trees. With eight hectares of grounds including fields and woodland, there’s ample space to roam, read or simply do nothing at all.
Just 6km away lies the bastide town of Monflanquin, perched high on a hill and offering panoramic views, excellent restaurants, bakeries and a bustling weekly market. Further afield, Villeréal and Bergerac provide even more to explore, from local food specialities and antique markets to scenic boat trips on the Dordogne River.
Whether you’re here for the quiet beauty of the Lot-et-Garonne countryside, the rich flavours of the Périgord or simply a taste of rural French life, Le Pigeonnier Jean Blanc offers a stay that’s both restorative and full of character.
- Guests should be able to safely manage the narrow spiral staircase. There is a twin bedroom on the ground floor, but guests will need to use the staircase to reach the bathroom.
- The owners (and their friendly dog) live on site in the main house opposite Le Pigeonnier Jean Blanc at the end of a long drive. Rest assured the pool and house facilities are for your exclusive use.
