Overview
Description
Our two well appointed gites, Oriole and Rossignol, are set in a peaceful, rural location & have been created from a barn adjoining our house. They are a 10 minute drive from the market town of Realmont and 20 minutes from Albi, the capital of the Tarn. Realmont has a lovely market, shops, cafes and a number of restaurants. The wine region Gaillac is only 30 minutes away with Toulouse Blagnac airport being just over an hour away.Champagnol is situated in the Tarn, Midi Pyrenees region of Southern France.
The two gites, Oriole and Rossignol, are set in 4 acres of attractive gardens in a hamlet 7 miles from the picturesque market town of Realmont. Realmont has a lively market on a Wednesday morning, restaurants, cafes and a wide range of services and shops.
Albi, the capital of the Tarn is only 14 miles away with its magnificent Cathedral overlooking the Toulouse Lautrec museum, excellent restaurants, cafes and shops.
The area offers a wealth of historic towns - Cordes-sur-Ciel, Carcassonne and Castres to mention but a few. Lots of country markets and summer festivals are all within close proximity. Numerous walks, 4 golf courses (including a championship golf course which is about 20 minutes away) & a leisure lake are all nearby as well.
Each gite has a fully equipped kitchen with hob/oven, microwave, washing machine, bathroom with full-size bath & shower, large living/dining area with mezzanine bedroom, private garden with BBQ & access to secluded heated pool with views over the well kept gardens. Prices include electricity, gas, bed linen, bath & pool towels.
If the Oriole gîte is unavailable I may have availability in Rossignol which is adjoining Oriole gîte. This property can be booked with the Rossignol Gite to accomodate 4 people.
Unfortunately we are unable to accept children or pets.

Leave ReviewFar from the madding crowd
By Donald Shiach on 16-Sep-2023This was our second stay at the Oriole Gîte, and we loved it just as much as last year. The gîte is ideal for us - a rural setting, a comfortable interior, a shady terrace, lots of walking and cycling options, interesting towns and villages - and a swimming pool! We are glad the owners have upgraded the WiFi connection, as that was our only reservation about our stay this year. We would not hesitate to recommend it to couples or singles looking for a quiet spot far from the madding crowd.
Calme

Getting away from it all
By Sue and Trevor on 01-Jul-2023Having stayed at Oriole gite several times over the last ten years, we can recommend it to anyone wanting to get away from it all in a beautiful, rural area of France. The gite is comfortable and well-equipped, set in stunning grounds, with a fabulous pool, for the use of two gites (a maximum of four adults at any one time). Whilst Champagnol is quiet and rural, Realmont is only a short drive away and, only slightly further afield, are Castres and Albi. The surrounding area has a plethora of hill villages, Bastide towns and markets to visit and explore. A great place to recharge your batteries.
We keep going back!
By June Harris on 23-Jul-2022A little slice of Heaven away from the hustle and bustle of normal life. You will feel very relaxed anytime of the day here as it is so lovely, quiet and peaceful, just the sound of the odd dog bark or the birds in the trees. The pool is so inviting, sun all day, set in a spacious beautifully kept mature garden, with loungers, chairs and tables for you to use. Oriole Gite, is spotlessly clean, bright and airy. It has everything you need in the kitchen to enjoy making tasty French meals to enjoy in the comfy dinning area inside or better still enjoy in your own private terrace or garden. Downstairs you also have a comfy sofa to relax in the evening enjoying the games or books provided, a bathroom with power shower and an enormous bath to sink into. Leading upstairs you have a large changing area, storage and a king sized bed, beautiful bedding, nestled under a skylight, blinds there, but who wants to block out the amazing view of the stars! Open beams also add to it’s warmth and charm. If your looking for a real get away… Look no further!
