Description of holiday cottage in Rignac, Midi-Pyrenees

Le Tramizal is a rustic and charming little cottage with a garden overlooking the village of Rignac in southwest France.

Downstairs is one big room with the dining and kitchen areas on one side, and living area and fireplace on the other. The kitchen is comfortably equipped with all the modern conveniences: washing machine, dishwasher, and microwave oven yet retains the feel of an old farmhouse kitchen. The open hearth is supplied with wood for fires in chilly weather.

There is a large bedroom upstairs with two double beds, and a new bathroom. The couch in the living room can sleep an unexpected guest.

The cottage is furnished with regional pieces gleaned from antique shops and flea markets, and is well stocked with books, art, and music. There is no television, but the house has a wireless internet connection.

Rignac is a working village with small farms. Cows and sheep clog the roads on their way to and from grazing each morning and evening. The landscape of Quercy is green with gently rolling hills- perfect for hiking, bicycling and painting. There is also a large hammock slung up outside under a walnut tree for those in need of a snooze on hot summer days.

Spring is the time for wildflowers. In early summer, the nightingales lilting songs fill the valley. Early summer rains also waken the toads: their gentle poop-poop-poop mating calls resonate through the dark hours. Midsummer night in Rignac is celebrated with a bonfire, traditionally one is supposed to toss in one's old straw mattress and replenish it with fresh hay. We celebrate it today by firing up the old village wood oven to bake bread and cakes. Sausages grilled on the coals from the bonfire and wine is passed out freely to all present. In July, round about Bastille Day, the village also celebrates its annual fete- dancing and open air dining on the village green. August brings butterflies and shooting stars and the most important music festivals. In September Rocamadour hosts a magnificent launch of hot air balloons and Rignac has its annual Laurel and Hardy Film Festival. In early October, everyone helps Monsieur Monteil harvest his grapes which is followed by an enormous feast prepared by his sister who returns from her day job as a judge in Bordeaux for the event.
