Listed as one of France's most beautiful villages, Puycelsi, nicknamed "the fortress in the woods", is a paradise for heritage lovers and hikers alike. The village overlooks the Forest de Grésigne, and numerous signposted footpaths wind between oak trees and valleys, offering both accessible walks and more challenging itineraries. Stroll through the winding streets of Puycelsi and admire the half-timbered houses, impeccably preserved since the Middle Ages. Visit the beautiful church of Saint Corneille and its stunning blue ceiling. Discover the 800 meters of ramparts and the covered walkway for an elevated view of the village and its enchanting surroundings. A few kilometers away, discover emblematic Tarn villages such as Bruniquel and its perched castles, or Castelnau-de-Montmiral, a typical bastide with beautiful arcaded squares. The nearby vineyards of Gaillac provide the perfect complement to your stay, with tastings and characterful landscapes. On site, stroll through the medieval streets, admire the ramparts and enjoy remarkable panoramic views, especially at sunset. Our house was built in the 18th century. Named after the swallows that fly overhead during the summer months, it boasts a refreshing swimming pool in a private walled garden. Here, amidst old stones and timeless beauty, you'll discover a haven of tranquility and comfort. Please note that we don't have air conditioning in the house. Our Bed and breakfast offers you five bedrooms, each with en-suite shower room, including a family room for 4 people, the others accommodating two. You'll find the guest lounge and two bedrooms on the first floor, while the other three bedrooms are on the second floor, with a magnificent view over the village rooftops. Outside, you'll enjoy a private enclosed garden with a Piscine. Secure parking in the village with vouchers provided, motorcycle parking in the garden, bike storage for exploring the surrounding area on two wheels and picnic facilities on request.
