Our News

There are some pieces of news that you just want to share in more than just a few words. The inclusion of Domaine de Souladiès in the Michelin Travel & Culture Guide - Tarn-et-Garonne is one of them. When I first saw it, my first thought was for my father. He would have been so proud to see our family estate recognized in this way.

A visit that held a surprise for me

When I received the journalist, I didn't know she was there for the Michelin Guide. She explained it to me as she was leaving. So this visit began as a meeting, without my anticipating what the future might hold.

Then came the moment to discover the Domaine in the guidebook. Seeing the name Souladiès printed in those pages moved me. Behind those few lines, I thought of the house, of those who had brought it to life before me, and of everything that welcoming you here today represents.

One house and three generations

Domaine de Souladiès is a family story that spans three generations. Here in Genebrières, in the Tarn-et-Garonne region, this story is reflected in the house, its furniture and the surrounding forest.

Thinking of my father, I realize what it means to continue this story. Welcoming travelers into our family home is also about keeping it alive today, with the desire to pass it on in turn. Everyone arrives with a different reason: a few days for two, a reunion with friends, a family vacation, or simply a stopover in our region.

I value this diversity of encounters; it's what makes us rich. Our independent cottage for six people and our three guest rooms allow you to discover the Domaine in several ways, always with the same attention to hospitality.

What I like to share in Souladiès

If you have already visited, you may know some of the paths in our private forest, the area around the pool, or a moment spent at our table d'hôtes with the conversations that accompanied it.

These are the simple things that I want to continue sharing with you. A mention in a guidebook touches me particularly, but the memories you take away and the pleasure of seeing you again mean just as much to me.

So I wanted to tell you this news in my own words, and thank you. Whether you already knew Souladiès or are discovering him through these lines, you are taking part, in your own way, in the continuation of this story.

We look forward to welcoming you or seeing you again in Genebrières.

"We should plan a few days together."

We say it as we leave a table, on the phone, between news items. Then the weeks go by and schedules fill up. What if this autumn was the right time to choose a date?

Three bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, a large dining room and a living room with a fireplace: you have an independent cottage to settle into and enjoy your stay at your own pace.

In the morning, some take their time over breakfast while others prepare for a walk. We meet up for lunch, exchange news, and play a game. In the evening, the conversation can continue without each person having to get back on the road.

These few days that we struggled to organize are finally becoming shared time.

The forest starting from the gîte

The Domaine's 70 hectares of private forest are directly accessible from the accommodation. No need to plan a full excursion: you can simply set off on foot and explore the paths at your leisure.

And if you wish to take a break from cooking one evening, you can book a dinner at our table d'hôtes, prepared using local produce.

What if you finally sent this message: "Shall we spend a few days together?"

The cottage is available from October 25th to 30th, then from November 1st to 13th and from November 15th, 2026. Choose the dates that work for you.

At Domaine de Souladiès , it's not one big spectacle: it's a multitude of small details that show that things are changing.

March is the season of modest beginnings. That's its most beautiful lesson! What truly matters rarely returns all at once. Nature doesn't restart; it prepares, it adjusts, and at first, it barely dares.

In the morning, the light softens. It lingers a little longer on the terrace, gliding from window to window, and you sense, without being able to quite explain it, that nature is coming back to life. The forest paths still bear the marks of winter, but the first buds are beginning to swell. The morning air retains a crisp freshness, yet it no longer has the same bite.

It is often at this time of year that I like to do the forest circuit . Not to exercise, nor to tick off an activity, but simply to get back into a rhythm. The rhythm that returns when you walk without rushing. The undergrowth is beginning to change: greener stems, buds turning color, and the scents of the earth reappear. The peculiar silence of winter fades, and birdsong begins to take over.

I often think about this when I see our rushed lives. We want to change quickly, understand quickly, get better quickly. We set ourselves bold departures, grand resolutions, and sharp turns. Yet, very often, what heals us works like Mars: one more step, almost invisible, a gentle habit, a space we give ourselves back, or simply a breath of fresh air.

For the more athletic, it is also an ideal time to set off on a bike ride from the Domaine , speed along the small roads, and reach the nearby villages, those that cannot be visited by running. We stop, we look around and exchange a few words with the locals. And on the way back, Montauban is never far away: its square, its bricks, its quiet detours, like an urban interlude that doesn't overwhelm nature but complements it.

I am writing this to you as one extends a hand, without expectation.
Simply to share a conviction that grows within me year after year: I don't find myself by accelerating. I find myself by relearning nuance, the almost, the not-yet that already contains the essential.

In Tarn-et-Garonne, "where life resounds!" , March doesn't just herald spring. It reminds us of a simple truth: life returns when we give it its due.

If you feel like it , answer me with just one sentence: what is the very first sign in your home that winter is letting go?

At Domaine de Souladiès , winter never imposes itself. It settles in.

The mornings are cool, damp, and sometimes misty. The light is lower, softer; it takes its time to observe things before illuminating them. Our forest seems still, yet it is not asleep. It is listening!

In February, entering the Domaine de Souladiès is a unique experience. You don't simply pass through it, you slip into it. Your footsteps don't echo. They leave their mark on the damp paths. The air is crisp enough to awaken your thoughts, and silence becomes your companion. It's often at this time that I reflect that winter takes nothing away, only the superfluous.

Walking around the Domaine , taking a path without a specific objective, is to rediscover the pleasure of slowness*. Winter hikes invite you to observe moss greener than elsewhere, a branch fallen after the last gust of wind or a trace of passage in the earth. Even the most athletic cyclists feel that the rhythm changes. You pedal differently, you breathe more deeply, and above all, you look further ahead.

Just a few minutes away, Montauban continues to live at its own pace. Ten minutes is all it takes to change scenery, linger on a terrace in winter, and rediscover the city in a new light. Fewer crowds, more details, and facades you'd never really noticed before.

February teaches us something essential: not everything needs to be full to be rich.
In a world that values constant movement, this season reminds us of the power of taking our time. Like fallow land, time left undisturbed always ends up bearing the fruits of renewal.

I firmly believe that slowness* is not a luxury, it's a conscious and almost counter-cultural choice. Choosing to walk when everything urges us to run. Choosing to feel before consuming, and to inhabit a place rather than simply ticking it off a list.

At Domaine de Souladiès, this philosophy is not a concept. The days unfold at a natural pace. Returning from a walk, cheeks rosy from the coolness, a shared silence and a conversation that gently settles in, over a hot drink, with no other objective than to be there.

In winter, nature doesn't show us everything all at once. It prepares, it concentrates, and it works deeply to offer us something better later. Therein lies a valuable lesson, applicable far beyond the seasons.

Perhaps February is the ideal month to ask ourselves a simple, but essential question:
At what pace do I really want to live?

Not the one that is expected of you, not the one that is imposed on you, but truly your own.

I am writing these lines to you from my office by the fire, surrounded by my four-legged companions. I am not trying to convince you. I am simply sharing my deep conviction.

The soul of Domaine de Souladiès is not shouted: it is whispered. And those who take the time to listen to it always leave with a little something extra.

If you feel the need to slow downThe Domaine de Souladiès is made for these moments.

Staying in Tarn-et-Garonne, "where life resonates!" is not just a slogan. It's a feeling, a subtle, persistent vibration that will stay with you long after you leave.

This rhythm speaks to you, February might be the right time to come and experience it here .

slowness * chosen slowness

December arrives with its softer light, a crispness that invites us to slow down, and an almost instinctive need to return to the essentials. We're still welcoming a few travelers this season… so why not book?

Here at Domaine de Souladiès , winter settles in gently: the windows fog up in the morning, the hills can be glimpsed in the mist, and silence becomes a precious ally.

I wanted to share with you five winter pleasures as we experience them here, in the heart of Tarn-et-Garonne "where life resonates!" — simple, true moments that feel good… and that can also be given as gifts.

PS: There are still a few dates available before Christmas…

⭐ 1. The calm of the morning, behind a misted window

In Souladiès, the mornings of December have something suspended about them.

A light that glides gently over the landscape and this feeling of being alone in the world.

It is often in this moment that one truly grasps the spirit of the Domaine: a place where everything invites you to breathe more slowly.

🍽️ 2. The warmth of a shared meal

In winter, the communal dining experience takes on a special flavor.

We gather around local products, simple and generous recipes, and conversations that last forever.

Whether in a self-catering cottage or a bed and breakfast , this moment creates a bond… and many of our travelers still talk about it long after they have left.

🌲 3. A walk in the great silent forest

Our 70 hectares are transformed in December: the air is crisper, the paths clearer, and the silence almost solemn.

This is also the time of year when you most often see deer, less discreet without the foliage. A fleeting moment, but always magical.

A simple, deeply soothing walk, typical of Souladiès.

🕯️ 4. Montauban under the lights of December

Just a few minutes from the Domaine, Montauban is decked out in its festive finery:

The illuminated Place Nationale, the decorated alleyways, and the Christmas market set up on the Esplanade des Fontaines, among wooden chalets, mulled wine, spices and local crafts.

You can stroll around without haste, chat, taste… and come back with a treat or a gift idea.

🎁 5. Give an experience rather than an object

Some gifts are being unwrapped.
Others are experienced.

Our gift cards allow you to give:

• one night in a bed and breakfast,
• a stay in a holiday cottage,
• a dinner at the communal table,
• or simply a break to catch your breath.

A simple, sincere gift that is always appreciated. And above all: one that never ends up in a drawer.

December is a bright, gentle month, focused on others.

Whether you have already visited or are planning to discover the Domaine, I wish you a start to winter filled with calm, warmth and lovely interludes.
