Chèvrefeuille was built in the sixteenth century, the century which saw the Reformation in Europe, William Shakespeare and Henry VIII in England, Henry II, Catherine de Medici and later, the start of the Bourbon kings in France.

Rising to three storeys, the house is of the heavy timber and brick construction typical of the time, solid and comforting, warm in winter, cool in summer.

On the ground floor are living and dining areas with French doors opening onto Rue du Tailleur (Street of the Tailor) and the trees which border the River Tarn. A modern, fully equipped kitchen adjoins the dining area while a powder room is located under the stairs.

On the first floor is the main living room with a large open fireplace and the original tiled sink. Alongside is a double bedroom with an antique lit-bateau bed and with an en-suite bathroom. Casement windows overlook the River Tarn.

Two bedrooms occupy the top floor. The main bedroom, with a king-size bed, has a walk-in wardrobe and access to a gallery with 180° views of the Tarn.

The gallery is also accessible from the other bedroom (two beds). A bathroom with shower, wc and basin completes the top floor.

The house is centrally heated with large hot water panel radiators in all rooms and a gas fire in the ground floor living room.
