The swimming pool is 9m by 4m and has Roman steps leading down into it. It is surrounded by a terrace with sun loungers. It is
located at the side of Eric and Maries house, just to the front of the cottage so is easily accessed It has an alarm to conform to
the French regulations but it is not enclosed which may be a concern to parents of very young children. It is not often used by
Eric and Marie themselves as they are very busy, but it is used occasionally by their daughter so it is not totally for the exclusive
use of the cottage guests. Its location is in front of the Cartauds outdoor eating area, they are happy for you to use the pool area
even when they are eating but please be polite and friendly and considerate with regards to noise. Eric is a viticulteur, he makes
wine, Pineau (the local tipple and Cognac) he has a small 'shop' on the other side of his house where you can taste his produce
and if you are friendly and chatty you may even get an exclusive visit into his small wine making area.

Eric and Marie-Agnes Cartaud are a lovely French couple who were born and grown up in this area. They have three grown up
daughters aged 16, 21 and 23. Eric is a farmer and wine maker. He has vines all over the area and you will certainly taste some of
his produce whilst you are staying in their cottage. They are very friendly but also very busy, however they are always available if
you need something or want to ask a question. The cottage was originally their own home when they were first married and before
they renovated the large house in front, as their family grew. This means the cottage has a lot of sentimental value to them and
they only want families staying in it who will respect this and who are friendly, willing to say Bonjour and will clean the cottage
thoroughly afterwards.
