La Vieille Ecole in Bourgougnague is a Dutch owned bed and breakfast in the departement Lot-et-Garonne in the region Aquitaine in France.
Fred & Rens Olthoff realized four guestrooms in a former Catholic girls' school. And every Summer season they set up four castle tents in the garden that is equipped with a charming little pool. Each tent has its own private - very large - bathroom.
The couple offers table d'hotes almost every night, either in the communal hall under the chapel or in the garden with spectacular sunsets.


We spent a week in one of the big tents with our two children and found both the 'glamping' and the area very relaxing. The landscape is friendly, with field after field of sunflowers, unexpected views of rolling hills, a minimum of tourism, charming little towns called 'bastides,' good food and kind people.

Bourgougnague is close to the airports of Bordeaux and Bergerac. For more detailed information go to: www.lavieilleecole.eu
