The gîtes, known as Le coin Perdu and La belle Chataigne enjoy quiet seclusion and privacy and are not overlooked by any other buildings. The immediate surroundings are fields and woods where local farmers graze their cattle. Alongside the Barn is an 11 m swimming pool shared by both gîtes and the owner. There is a choice of terraces on which to read and doze. From the poolside the views are of the idyllic countryside surrounding Lagarde. Beside the swimming pool is a large room equipped for table tennis and other games and children's swings with play area.
