Fame

Pomarede has been made famous (by Australian author) Mary Moody’s delightful books ('Last Tango in Toulouse', 'Au Revoir', and 'Lunch with Madame Murat') about the local characters of the area and her interesting experiences and challenges that she has encountered while staying in her second home in the neighboring village. (3 klm or a delightful ˝ hour bush walk or 1 hour if you dawdle and explore side tracks along the way). In fact if you are familiar with this latest book, take not of the photo on the front cover.....it's our back yard! (well, the view we have at least)

Food

Dining in Madame Murat’s restaurant is a special experience not to be missed (just across the road) while there you are very likely to come across some of the very same colorful characters described in Mary’s books, as it’s the favored lunching spot. Mary’s books include Au Revoir, Last Tango in Toulouse and most recently “Lunch with Madame Murat”, which has some really fantastic photos of the area in and around Pomarede.

Village life

The little village has around 140 permanent residents, which may expand to maybe160 during the height of the summer season. So as you can imagine it is a great place to take it easy, and have your own romantic French adventure, get to know the locals and the local delights. (They are most passionate about FOOD and WINE!). Well, the men like to chat to pretty women too, I guess that’s universal!
