Environment ✧ steep wooded river valleys and agricultural
Services ✧ all
Access ✧ station 5mins walk; 1h45 Toulouse (last 7pm) +45mins airport, 6h Barcelona (2 changes), 7h Paris (last 2pm) or night trains
Area ✧ due to being partly protected, shops moving out, and the costs of bringing buildings up to standard, >35% are empty, there is however a plan for more public spaces and improved streetscape
✦ has some quiet riverfront paths with 1 big open park 10mins walk, a path going 20mins to the south, and a 25min loop, so some limited strolls are possible; 20mins bike to tennis (2 covered courts somewhere…)
✦ a couple of biking circuits start 10mins away and exetnd to Najac and St Matrin where it possible start or return by train, or skip the more difficult bits (lots of climbing)
✦ no hiking from door, however the train offers some variety with 4 stations (15–40mins) offering options both by bike and foot albeit with the shortest return being 3h45, giving opportunities for more relaxed hikes with lunch stop (returns at 2:30pm and 6pm, but more out)
✦ fairly calm kayaking is possible from the town, or at Najac (Apr-Oct) with SUP as well
✦ 30mins drive to a fairly technical via ferrata above river
small but pretty town of Figeac at 35mins train is a good trip, with an 8pm bus back
✦ several great villages: medieval Caylus 30mins bus, St-Cirq on the lot gorges 45mins drive, as is Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val where there's good biking and hiking for occasional variation
✦ Cahors and Albi are also possible at 1h drive for more rare daytrips with diversions to break the journey
✦ Gaillac at 1h train is however more reasonable
access is good from Toulouse airport, but labourious from anywhere else
✦ night train is either longer via Toulouse, or with a 6am short change
the town is plannign to open a tiers lieux directly opposite however these rarely offer dynamic coworking; it might make sense to offer drop-ins max 2-days/week

Property ✧ delisted but not sold; down again from 100k (bottom end)
✦ roof in good condition
✦ parcel 62, a bit of a hodgepodge of 3 interconnected buildings
✦ 10m2 of north enclosed 1st floor terrace
✦ 55m2 north-east *3 +attic =165
✦ 30m2 south-east *4 =140; has one south french door onto a tiny balcony over an equally tiny openspace on the corner of the street with a tree, this could be enlarged and a new window placed on the 2nd floor; probably the top floor gable could be opened up and below the eaves thus creating a sunroom, it would also be possible to convert some section of roof (likely the north-east behind a fake parapet, thus essentially replacing an attic) into 20–40m2 of roof terrace with access from the sunroom, but wouldn't have much if any view
✦ 40m2 west *3 +attic =120
✦ (attics not counted but likely small)
✦ the facade is very ugly and would eventually need stripping
