le moulin de palbas

WELCOME in LE MOULIN DE PALBAS!

'Le Moulin de Palbas' is a 16th century estate and its atmosphere still reflects the serenity of the monks, the former occupants. Since the farming as such was abandoned a long time ago, its 33 hectares consist of woods, prairies, marshland and a lake. The mill that gave the estate its name is no longer there, but has left us its foundations..
Here we have created four rooms with character.

Our rooms

'TOMBOUCTOU'
The African room, our only ground floor room, equipped for the disabled. The furniture is African woodwork and comes from various African countries, just as the decoration of masks, statuettes and batiks. The room has one king size bed and one three-quarter bed.

'OUARZAZATE'
our Moroccan room, a very big family-room in L on two levels, which sleeps 6. A colourful room decorated with pots, cushions, rugs and fabrics from various North-African countries. The room has two king-size beds and two single beds.

'VALENCAY'
Our French room is done all in wood and soft pink. In fact the room consists of two bedrooms, separated by a shower room. It sleeps four, with one king size bed per bedroom.

'KYOTO'
the last one is our Japanese room. Decorated in the Japanese style, all in natural wood and red/black laquered furniture, it has a very "zen" view of the peartree and the lake. You sleep on a king size futon.

Each room has its own showerroom and toilet and a private entrance, and a view of the lake and the forest. On the ground floor a fridge/freezer and a washing machine are available to our guests.
Our rooms are classified 3 'ears of corn' by Gites de France and their General Conditions apply.

On the ground floor (approx. 120 m2) you will find a living room which still has the original fireplace, a bar and a dining room to be used freely by our guests. In the living room you will also find our library of over one thousand books in English, French and Dutch. In the dining room, next to the bread oven, are a piano and a television and the kid's corner with books, games, colouring pencils, lego etc.
