Who doesn't want to save the sun and the sweet taste of summer fruits for those long winter evenings? We like to capture those sunny tastes in our homemade jams and jellies. In that respect: what could be better than quinces? They had time to absorb the sunlight throughout the summer and develop that very typical sweet and fragrant scent. This year the harvest was immense. To extract the juice, we dice them and cook them in a little water to soften the hard flesh. We use th

Magnificent views this morning! Following yesterday's rain, a light mist settled around Montalzat's hill. The light show was amazing! #quercycaussadais #lannicha #montalzat #morninglight #feerique #brume #mistymorning #ochtendgloren

Tracy’s Asian cooking is just delicious. All guests will agree... Whether it is curry, tauhu goreng, bakwa, frogs’ legs, fried noodles, chiffon cake, or others, it is always refined and delicious… Even more when she is challenged by special requests: not spicy, no bones, no coconut, etc… That’s when she is at her best. And she did it again: low carb zucchini noodles with a (very) fragrant prawn sauce. A picture says more than a thousand words, but cannot render the zillions o

Here it is, the moment we've all been waiting for: THE POOL IS READY! As you can see, it is a magnificent 25*4 m swimming lane with stunning views. Athletes will be able to have their workout, just as much as waders will find refreshment. I assure you that the water is good and that you can enjoy the scenery, even when an impressive combine harvester is passing through a nearby field. #pool #poolwithaview #fountain #bnb #justenjoy #lannicha #quercycaussadais #montpezatdequerc

Another milestone in our BnB adventure: The terrace is built, the tarpaulin is stretched, the sofa and table are set up to welcome groups of guests. You are all welcome! #hospitality #welcome #bnb #tabledhotes #group #lannicha #quercyblanc #alfresco

Although sometimes going over challenging hills, biking routes galore in the Quercy. Those two happy bikers have enjoyed incredible views and an excellent workout starting from L’Annicha! #lannicha #quercycaussadais #bikers #enjoy #workout

Anyone wants to join us in enjoying the view of the Quercy Blanc while taking a rest in the shade? #quercyblanc #quercycaussadais #lannicha #restandrelax

We have made a small improvement to the gîte. Some curtains to filter the sun. It changes the whole atmosphere! 😍 Asian feeling in the colors of Occitania! #asianfeeling #holiday #lannicha #gîte

We take advantage of the parents' visit to visit our own region. Last week we went to Cahors: visit of the Valentré bridge above the Lot with its fortifications and its little devil who, according to legend, came to tear off the last stone that the masons had put in place the day before. The historic centre of Cahors, on the pilgrimage to Compostella, is magnificent with its narrow streets, its terraced restaurants and of course the Saint-Etienne Cathedral and its cloister. W

Here it is: our third room. The Marmara room is without a doubt the most unique room we have at L’Annicha. The specialty comes from the paintings on the wall. It gives an illusion of marble walls with roman columns. The room has maintained the original decoration from one of the previous owners, who is a painter. We have been told his specialty was “trompe l’oeil”, paintings which give the optical illusion of, for example, in this case, marble. The whole house was once decora

As a former paraglider, I am still excited when I see canopies in the air. Among my friends some people are still passionate and practising this sport. One of those friends tried it on our property. He experimented with his wing and succeeded some short take-offs on our school slope. My heart was beating in excitement, just from seeing him lift off. Additionally, there are a number of paragliding sites nearby: Several can be found around Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val, in the Aveyro

At L’Annicha we offer regularly an Asian menu. We spent some time looking for the right ingredients in order to be as authentic as possible. Luckily, we found a good Asian supermarket in Montauban which provides us the basic supplies. Seafood or chicken curry is one of our favourite dishes, and if there is a special request, we will also serve vegetarian curry with some excellent tofu. Spicy fried noodles with king prawns is another of our specialties. Or the “simple” but ver

This season is particularly interesting because there are plenty of wild flowers. Some of which only grow in spring and only on the less maintained plots. One of these plots offered us lots of nice surprises. Like, for example, wild orchids. So far, we have listed 7 types: - Lady orchid (Orchis Purpurea) very present, the first to appear - Elder-flower orchid (Dactylorhiza sambucina) which looks like a white hyacinth. We have only listed one with us - Pyramidal orchid (Anacam

We are excited to announce the opening of our second room to the public: the Biru room. Biru means blue in Malay. Seeing the pictures, you would wonder “Why blue?”. Well, when we arrived the room had blue curtains and a blue bed cover, which combined with the grey walls made it call out for light. We changed the furniture, curtains, wall colour and decoration, but we still call it the blue room… It is - like all our rooms - very spacious and has an ensuite bathroom. The parti
