We have lived in France since 2015, at our first B&B in St Antonin Noble Val (82) and now since 2018 here in Eymet.

Toby is French: a lovely mix of black Labrador with just a little bit of Beauceron and Pointer. He joined the team as a puppy in the autumn of 2015.
He is a popular and playful but very gentle 5-year-old - he is still a little puppy in many ways and just loves to make new friends with all our guests! He has many soft toys which he will be pleased to show you!
