Maison de vacances - Sénezergues

The holiday home is fine, the surroundings are beautiful. A downside is that there is no good swimming spot in the immediate vicinity. Signed open air pools are small and therefore overcrowded and most are only open in July and August, while it is already very hot in June. The nearest lake for swimming is an hour away. A great place.

House was not too hard to find, but everything turned out to be locked and the landlord did not live next door. After we had informed the landlord by telephone that we had arrived (only to communicate in French) the owner came to open the house after about 45 minutes. Once again it turned out to be very difficult that the landlord did not speak a word of English and our daughter had poor French. With a lot of gestures, everything was made a bit clear and our vacation could start. The house was very sparsely furnished in our opinion. Few chairs, few crockery and cutlery. But well later in the area it turned out that these are not the richest areas. The house was in a very small village and also in the area are mainly very small villages so you really have to go out for some entertainment. We also noticed that there is very little youth in the region and the population consists mainly of older couples. We have been able to make beautiful trips, canoeing in De Lot, visited the weekly market in Meers on Thursdays and visited the beautiful old town of Concues.

Our stay in Senezergues started with a difficult start. The owners (2 brothers) do not live next to the house and you must agree a time in advance for the key transfer. That was very difficult. The gentlemen really only speak French and do not respond to text messages. Our French was insufficient for a meaningful phone call, which meant that we needed the Belvilla emergency line to make an appointment for the key transfer. That service from Belvilla was very nice! Once all were present, the transfer went well. It is a beautiful character old French house. Spacious and comfortable. The bathroom was unfortunately not very clean. The house has a beautiful garden and beautiful view and nature in the area is also very beautiful. It was very hot when we were there, which meant that we mainly looked up water activities (canoeing and swimming). In previous reviews, the drawback was that the house is right on the road. As far as we are concerned, that is no obstacle at all. There is hardly any traffic. All in all we had a great (albeit very warm) week in Senezergues!
