Gîte at Pinet, May 2004
in trip report at http://johnbirding.wolweb.nl - John van der Woude

This section is about the holiday home (gîte, cottage) that we rented near Millau, S France.
Pinet is a hamlet belonging to La Cresse, a village c. 10 km upstream from Millau, along the river Tarn.
You can rent this gîte via www.gites-de-france.com. It is number AYG703.
Please mind that another gîte is more inside the hamlet.
(If you are camping, just 1 km before Pinet is a nice new campsite called les Papillons, with a location comparable to the first of the photos below.)

View from above Pinet to the other side of the Tarn valley.

The gîte is the most lefthand house.
The whitish block to the left of the house is the terrace plus an extra bedroom plus bathroom below (with separate entrance). The road below the hamlet is very quiet.
The pasture with shrubs left below the gîte belongs to the gîte
and has nice plants and birds (like Melodious Warbler).
