Le Tresor is in the south of France. We flew into Toulouse and it was about an hour and a half drive. The B&B is in the middle of nowhere. Gorgeous countryside but it's a pretty good drive wherever you want to go. It's run by a British couple who has a couple kids of their own and is set up to be "baby friendly."
The pros of this place are that you can eat breakfast and dinner in the house. Our room was close enough to the dining room that we were able to leave James upstairs and eat on our own, which felt like a mini night out. Tilly, the wife who helps run the B&B, is the chef and cooked very good, simple meals. She and her husband Will are very helpful, especially becuase they speak English. They've even got British TV stations in the rooms and lots of English DVDs to watch. It's also nice that there are lots of walking trails right outside of the B&B... you can walk up a hill for an amazing view of the Pyrenees mountains, or cross the street to follow a long, flat path along an old railroad track. They are also set up to deal with kids and have small things like a bottle sterilizer, which came in really handy. We had a room with a smaller, separate room where James had his cot. The room was gorgeous, but the walls were really thin (see below) so he might as well have been in with us.
The cons are that the walls are REALLY thin. We heard every breath of James's all night and since we're not used to him sleeping in the same room with us, this was hard to adjust to. For some reason he didn't sleep well either and made a LOT of noise. So none of us slept at all. It's also a little far from everything, but if you're looking for a baby friendly place to stay in the country we would definitely recommend it. Just bring some kind of sound machine to help drown out the baby snores.
