Architecture and History 

Villeneuve-sur-Lot, a bastide situated halfway between Bordeaux and Toulouse, has its roots in feudal and religious history. Established in 1255, the town rapidly became one of the most significant bastides in the southwest of France. Its classic architecture is characterised by an orthogonal plan, which features a central courtyard surrounded by arcades, leading to eight streets. A notable aspect of this bastide is its elevated position above the river. In 1279, it came under English ownership and played a key role during the Hundred Years’ War.

The 17th-Century Manor House 

This historic estate, fully enclosed by an imposing stone wall, provides a peaceful sanctuary shaded by centuries-old trees. The manor house spans three floors, offering a generous living space of approximately 426 m². The historical interior has been lovingly preserved and restored, creating a harmonious blend of authentic charm and modern convenience. Regular maintenance ensures its upkeep, and with six bedrooms, five bathrooms, two reception rooms, a grand dining room, and a fully equipped kitchen, the house provides ample space for personalisation.

The converted outbuildings, including a dovecote, have been transformed into seven stylish holiday rentals with terraces, generating an annual income of €96,000 from approximately 400 m². A separate, sheltered pool complete with a pool house, as well as sufficient parking, enhance this offering. Additionally, another outbuilding of around 200 m² is available, perfectly suited for use as an events venue.
