Ok, creative friends: Imagine that we all pitch in on this artists/writers retreat! Only €446,000! 9 bedrooms, 5 baths. Just shy of an (US) acre (so not an overwhelming amount of property.) An easy drive to Spain. Close enough to Paris, Italy, Switzerland.
Beautiful herringbone flooring, marble staircase (rare and stunning with its iron balustrades), wrought iron doors and a stunning veranda. New roof. (!)

The LOCATION
LAUTREC, TARN……
Lautrec ………no 15 on The Guardians top 20 most beautiful villages in France. Toulouse Lautrec’s family came from this medieval village. Marked by a cross at the top of a hill is where the castle once stood. Some ramparts remain, but the historic centre, with its half timbered house and covered market hall, is the main attraction, with a traditional market on Fridays.
