La Vielle Boulangerie is an old bakery that functioned up to 30 years ago. The bread oven still exists and is the focal point of the kitchen dining area. It has recently been converted to an extremely high standard and as a listed building within 100 metres of a 12th century church to the exacting demands of Les Architects du Batiment de France. The French equivalent of our listed buildings.
The interior is up to high modern standards but with the old features maintained where possible. Accommodation comprises:
Downstairs
- A large kitchen diner with the facade of the bread oven.
- A large double sized sitting room with lovely views across the countryside.
- A utility room with washing machine and separate dryer, large fridge / freezer and a second fridge.
- A toilet
- A separate walk in shower room.
Upstairs
- Three double bedrooms - two of which have en suite shower rooms.
- A separate toilet
- A bathroom and a toilet.
- An upstairs living room and open fire.
Outside
There is a swimming pool with an electrically operated cover, covered terrace with table, outdoor sofa and two armchairs, electric barbecue and a fourth bedroom/garden room with a separate toilet.
There are surrounding gardens, 1000 sq meters and amazing 300-degree views from the top of the hill with uninterrupted views. The original outdoor toilet is restored but now a garden shed
Monteton is a small village on top of a hill dating back to 12th century. Although small there are lots of activities taking part in the village with renowned jazz and singing schools during the summer in the chateau. There are two restaurants, one next door.
In the surrounding area within a 20 min drive you have Duras, Allemans, Eymet, Miramont, Monsegur and slightly further afield Marmande, Castionnes, Bergerac, Agen and much more. Bordeaux is only 20 mins on a train from Marmande and Archachon and hour and a half away by road.
Monteton is surrounded by vines and plum trees (pruneaux d'Agen) with good quality Monteton and Duras wine which is very well priced and extremely drinkable beverage.
There are good walks in the surrounding area and it is very quiet and extremely relaxing. There is a covered terrace to relax and dine under and swimming pool with amazing views so in the Summer there is no need to travel far away. The house is cool in summer and very cosy in winter making it an ideal holiday base.
There are good local markets in Duras and Miramont on a Monday, Eymet on a Thursday, Monsegur on a Friday and Marmande and Bergerac on a Sunday.
These run throughout the year so the area is enjoyable at any time of the year not just in Summer. For wine lovers, St Emilion is less than an hour drive away.
Duras has an interesting and beautifully restored Chateau that is well worth a visit and in July and August, there are night markets where local food can be purchased and enjoyed by the locals.
Although most visitors have a preference for a summer stay to enjoy the warm climate and the pool, from experience the autumn and spring months can be a very good option - Spring (April and May) with the blossoms in bloom, late Summer and Autumn (September and October) as the grapes are harvested and vines change colour. Rental costs are also lower in these months and shorter stays are an option - please check directly for specific options.

I have spent a thoroughly enjoyable week with Leslie and the family here at your house. Comfy beds, rooms, atmosphere and extremely consistently hot showers. What a lovely way to start or end a day!
Your neighbours were kind enough to spend time on Sunday chatting to us and cannot enthuse enough on France and their spot in it, mot uplifting to listen to.
The pool has given all of us in varying ways a lot of pleasure and laughter. Two of us non swimmers but game viewers!! 2 of us keen and very able smooth swimmers and finally the boys – fun and frolics, games and more laughter (giggles in fact from them). Who’d have thought 2 15 year olds could be so daft and inventive.Guest rating:
A very relaxing two weeks, great scenery, towns and villages. The best and biggest supermarkets are definitely Leclerc in Marmande followed by Intermarche in Miramont: go to these for your large shops! Wine festival in Duras was especially memorable, as were the night food markets. Your neighbours were very helpful.
Guest rating:
Peter and I have had a wonderful two weeks in your beautiful house. Everything has been perfect – the house, the countryside, surrounding villages and the weather!!
Thank you so much, we’ve been living the French dream. Sadly time to go home but hopefully we will be back in the not too distant future.Guest rating:
Love the house: idyllic location and feels like a home rather than a holiday let. Weather could have been kinder but who cares! For future guests the bakers in the next village is closed on Monday but you can get your baguette at the tabac opposite.
Guest rating:
A special visit! Thank you so much for our stay here – we had a wonderful time – lots of happy memories!
