My husband, 15 month old girl and I stayed here for one night in August, 2004. We quickly wished we had made the stay longer. La Carriere has a wonderful view of the Lot River and is only feet from it, actually. Our room was the Pigeon Tower. It was large with its own bathroom and stayed cool even on the hot day we visited. The owner, Robin and her children were graceous hosts, especially to our baby, who loved the pool, the swing set, the girls, and their sweet dog Zoe. Albas is very small and surrounded by other small quaint villages with plenty of great eating places. Canoeing, boating and other water sports are popular here. If you appreciate beautiful scenary and like leisurely breakfasts with a small group of other travelers, definitely make a stop here. Our room was 50 Euros/night including breakfast, which we thought was very reasonable.
