In an area of south-west France, tucked away on the banks of the beautiful river Lot on the
outskirts of Villeneuve-sur-Lot, is Le Moulin de Madame. This 18th Century Mill is being
comprehensively restored to provide a stunning panoramic restaurant with a separate bar
and lounge all with the added attraction of stunning views of the River Lot. In addition in the
gated and secure grounds a 4 star hotel is being commissioned in the small number purpose
built townhouses that have been constructed along the river and adjacent and to the Le
Moulin. The entire complex is due to be completed by the Summer 2012.
The C18th Moulin has been rebuilt and sympathetically refurbished to the highest standard
using as local artisans who are skilled in such specialised restoration. In addition and
wherever possible given strict planning laws we have reused the old fittings and preserved
the unique building as much as possible including the milling wheels and machinery in the
lower part of the Moulin which are fairly spectacular. Its position in the river makes the
views unusual as you are effectively situated in the river.
The new restaurant will be serving local produce in a stunning and unique surroundings and
the lounge bar will add to the overall attraction of the Le Moulin de Madame. The 4 Hotel
will be offering a varied mixture of accommodation with the added benefit of a private
quality Spa set within the complex. In addition those wishing to visit us via the river using
their own boat are more than welcome as we have our own berths for a number of boats in
the Mill Pool.
The local area is fortunately not overpopulated in the summer by tourists despite its
attractions locally and we so feel the Moulin de Madame with its tranquil private riverside
setting and host of amenities on sight will appeal to those who are looking for a slightly
quietly place to have a break . In addition due to its location , being just off the French
motorway system ,we also feel it is perfect for those who need to take a brief rest from the
driving between the areas close by which have stunning attractions.
Please take a few minutes to view our website which is currently being updated on a regular
basis if you do have specific questions please visit our contact us page and we will reply to
questions in person.
We look forward to welcoming you to the Le Moulin de Madame in the near future.
