Fajolles [click to enlarge]Borde Basse is 10kms away from Beaumont-de-Lomagne, 8kms away from Lavit-de-Lomagne and 1½kms away from the tiny village of Fajolles, which has 86 inhabitants. The property is not overlooked by anyone and is surrounded by woods and fields on all sides. Visitors to the area love the sunflowers which turn the fields gold during July and August.
The Lomagne - the historic name for the area in which Fajolles is located - is truly part of Secret France which most tourists rarely discover. The main town of the département is Montauban (35kms) where the painter, Ingres, was born. The town museum displays many of his drawings and paintings.Montauban [click to enlarge]
