With six bedrooms divided between the main house and a separate gîte set in lush gardens, this home is more than just a structure; it's a gateway to a French rural lifestyle that balances tranquility with potential for income generation. Imagine sipping your morning coffee on the terrace, surrounded by nature, while also being just a stone's throw away from all the local amenities that Thenon provides.

Sunday morning in the Charente countryside sounds different from anywhere else in France. The birds start before the light does, and by the time you've made coffee and pushed open the terrace doors, there's nothing between you and a wide green horizon except your own 7,000 square metres of garden, a few oaks, and the distant church tower of Mansle catching the early sun. That's the daily reality of this four-bedroom house just outside Mansle-les-Fontaines — a genuinely well-built contemporary home from the early 2000s that's been looked after with real care, set in a quiet hamlet a couple of kilometres from everything you actually need. Let's talk about the space first, because 160 square metres of living area spread thoughtfully across two floors makes this feel like a proper family home rather than a weekend squeeze. The ground floor revolves around a 40-square-metre living and dining room that gets generous natural light throughout the day. It's the kind of room that naturally absorbs a family gathering — long lunches that drift into afternoons, kids spread across the floor, someone always in the kitchen. That kitchen, at 19 square metres, is large enough to be genuinely functional, not just a gesture toward cooking. Three bedrooms sit on the ground floor too, alongside a bathroom, a separate WC, and a pantry and laundry room that handles all the practical business of a real home. Head upstairs and there's a fourth room currently working as a bedroom or office, with its own private shower room and toilet — ideal for older kids, guests who want independence, or anyone who needs a quiet corner away from the rest of the house. The underfloor heating on the ground floor is worth pausing on. It's the kind of detail that ... click here to read more

Stand on the terrace on a July evening and you'll understand immediately why the French have always built their finest houses on hills. The Aude valley spreads out below in bands of gold and green — sunflower fields giving way to vineyards, then the jagged silhouette of the Pyrenees catching the last of the light. A glass of Blanquette de Limoux in hand, the bubbles still sharp and cold, the smell of lavender drifting up from the garden. This is not a fantasy sequence from a travel magazine. This is Tuesday. This four-bedroom villa sits at one of the highest residential addresses above Limoux, in France's Languedoc-Roussillon region, and the position alone justifies serious attention. But the house itself earns that attention right back. Three levels of generous, well-proportioned living space — around 186 square metres in total — have been laid out with real intelligence. The heart of the home is a single open-plan space that runs to over 60 square metres, pulling together the sitting room, dining area and kitchen into one fluid room without sacrificing any sense of definition between them. Large glazed doors open directly onto the views. On a clear morning, with coffee on the go and those panoramas unfolding through the glass, it's hard to think of a better argument for a second home in France. A bedroom and bathroom sit on the same main level, which matters more than it sounds — it means the house works for guests who don't want to navigate stairs, or for those weeks when you simply want everything within reach. The first floor adds further bedrooms and a second bathroom, giving the layout real flexibility for families or groups. Below, the lower ground floor is the kind of practical bonus that experienced property ... click here to read more

Stand at the kitchen window on a November morning and watch mist roll off the wooded acres behind the stone walls, curling around the old longère like smoke. The fire's already been lit — the cast-iron stove in the living room takes the edge off fast — and the only sound is the distant caw of rooks settling in the tree line. This is Ménéac, deep-green Brittany, and this place is the kind of property that stops serious buyers mid-scroll. Set in a small hamlet just 2.1 kilometres from the village of Ménéac itself, this substantial granite house sits on roughly 6.3 hectares of mixed land, part cultivated, part wooded. It's been divided into two fully independent dwellings — a detail that changes everything about how you might use it. One wing for your family, one for guests, rental income, or an elderly relative who wants proximity without sacrifice of privacy. The arithmetic of that arrangement is immediately appealing for anyone buying a second home in France who wants flexibility without compromising the experience of actually being there. The main dwelling opens at ground level into a living room anchored by an open fireplace paired with a wood-burning stove — two heat sources, which tells you something about how the previous owners felt about Breton winters. Through from there, a fitted kitchen and laundry room keep the practical side of things contained, along with a ground-floor toilet. Head upstairs and you get a bedroom with its own en-suite bathroom, a second family bathroom, a further bedroom, and a room currently used as an office but easily repurposed. The second dwelling mirrors this layout almost exactly: a living room with fireplace and stove, a kitchen-dining room (combined this time, which most families ... click here to read more

Stand on the upper landing on a clear October morning and the Pyrenees are right there — not a distant suggestion, but a full wall of snow-dusted peaks running the entire width of the horizon. That view alone stops people mid-sentence. Add a hectare of land, a pool, a barn with real potential, and a five-minute walk to one of the friendliest village squares in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques, and you start to understand why properties like this one in Laàs don't sit on the market for long. Laàs itself is quietly special. It sits in the heart of Béarn, a region that most people outside France haven't quite discovered yet — which is exactly the point. The village has a genuine rhythm to it. On Sunday mornings, the smell of coffee and warm bread drifts out from the boulangerie before eight o'clock. The château de Laàs, a 17th-century manor house with formal French gardens, stands just up the road and opens to visitors through the warmer months. The restaurant near the village centre — and yes, there's one worth going to, not just one that exists — draws locals from across the valley for long Friday lunches that tip over into the early evening without anyone checking their watch. The house itself is spread across 190 square metres and laid out in a way that actually works for family living. Downstairs, the kitchen connects through to a dining room which opens into the living room — the kind of fluid ground floor arrangement that means nobody's stuck in the kitchen alone while everyone else is gathered around the fire. There's also a separate snug, the sort of small room that ends up becoming everyone's favourite: the right size for a book and a glass of Jurançon wine on a winter evening when the mountains turn purple at dusk.

Sunday mornings here start with the smell of coffee drifting through stone walls that have been standing since the 1700s. The kitchen window frames a view of rolling southwest French countryside—no rooftops, no roads, just the slow green hills of Lot-et-Garonne doing what they've done for centuries. By the time you've wandered outside with your cup, the light is already doing something extraordinary to the old barn wall beside the pool. This is Engayrac. Most people have never heard of it, and the people who live here like it that way. The farmhouse itself is one of those rare places where a serious restoration has been done without scrubbing out the soul. Exposed stone walls, original beamed ceilings, travertine floors, an old staircase that creaks just enough to remind you it's real—it's all still there. So is the stone fireplace, the wainscoting, the sense that this house has stories going back well before anyone alive today. But the plumbing works. The heating works. The energy performance rating sits at C, which for an 18th-century stone structure in rural France is not something you get without real investment. A new heat pump heating system and a recently installed septic tank mean the infrastructure is sorted—genuinely sorted, not "we'll deal with it next summer" sorted. Four bedrooms spread across three floors give the house a natural rhythm. Ground floor for cooking, eating, living. First floor for quieter things—a spacious sitting room, an office that actually earns the name, two bathrooms with clean contemporary finishes that don't clash with the old bones of the place. Then the top floor, which is the kind of surprise that makes you stop mid-sentence when you first see it: a cargo-net lounge strung beneat ... click here to read more

On a still July evening, the only sounds you'll hear from the sun room terrace are the cicadas starting up in the oaks, the faint clink of glasses drifting from the village café a few hundred metres down the lane, and the occasional splash from the pool where someone couldn't resist one last swim before dinner. That's the rhythm of life at this 169 m² single-storey house on the edge of Saint-Maurin, one of the most quietly compelling villages in the Lot-et-Garonne — and a property that genuinely earns the word "immaculate" without you having to take anyone's word for it. Built in 1989 and then thoroughly reimagined by its current owners over the years since, the house sits on 6,875 m² of private grounds just a short walk from the medieval heart of Saint-Maurin. The village itself is the kind of place that still makes you stop walking and stare — a 12th-century abbey, honey-coloured stone arcades, a weekly market that the locals actually use, not one staged for tourists. Summer brings the famous night markets, where the square fills with tables, local Gascony producers set out their charcuterie and Armagnac, and at some point someone wheels out a projector for the open-air cinema. You can walk to all of it in five minutes, then come home to complete silence. Step inside and the architecture does something clever: it keeps things open without feeling exposed. A wide entrance hall with a feature arch sets a quiet tone of quality that the rest of the house follows through on. The living room is generous and very well lit, with three sets of French doors that fold the indoors out into the garden. A handsome brick fireplace with a wood-burning stove anchors the room in winter, while underfloor heating — the sort of detail th ... click here to read more

Stand on the terrace and the Lot River is right there, maybe a hundred metres below, curving through limestone gorges that turn amber in the late afternoon sun. The church bell above tolls the hour. A swallow cuts past at eye level. It takes about thirty seconds to understand why this house hasn't been easy to give up. Saint-Cirq-Lapopie has been voted France's favourite village more than once, and the title doesn't feel like marketing. The medieval streets of pale stone, the 15th-century church perched at the top of it all, the painters who've been coming here since the Surrealists — André Breton lived and worked up the road — there's a reason this village on the Lot Valley's cliff edge has drawn people for centuries. And within that village, few houses sit where this one does: directly below the church, on the lip of a sheer 100-metre drop, with a private garden that runs right to the edge. The wrought-iron gate is easy to miss from the lane. That's rather the point. Once through it, the world shifts. Mature wisteria covers a pergola where a summer kitchen and dining table sit in dappled shade — this is where long lunches happen, the kind that drift into evening without anyone noticing. The gardens wrap around the property and along the cliff, a genuinely rare thing here; outdoor space of this size and privacy simply doesn't come up in Saint-Cirq-Lapopie. Seating areas tuck into different corners depending on the time of day and the angle of the light, and every one of them faces something worth looking at. The house itself is old stone and brick, honest about its age in the best possible way. Terracotta floors, exposed ceiling beams, a wood-burning stove that makes the living room feel like exactly the right place ... click here to read more

On a still morning in Corneilla-del-Vercol, the air already carries warmth before nine o'clock. You slide open the wide glass doors from the living room, step out onto the sun-warmed terrace, and the pool catches the light in that particular way it only does in the Roussillon — deep blue, almost unnaturally vivid against the ochre and terracotta of the surrounding landscape. The Pyrenees are visible to the southwest. The Med is twenty minutes by car. This is the South of France that people actually live in, not the postcard version sold to tourists. Corneilla-del-Vercol sits in the Pyrénées-Orientales, tucked between Perpignan and the coast, in a part of France that locals call the Pays Catalan. It's a genuinely Catalan corner of France — bilingual road signs, sardane dancing in village squares on summer evenings, and a food culture that pulls as much from Barcelona as it does from Paris. The Saturday market in Perpignan's Place de la République sells goat cheese from the Conflent valley, anchovies from Collioure packed in salt the old way, and the blood-orange jurancons that grow practically in your backyard. You get to Perpignan's city centre in under fifteen minutes. The TGV station there connects you to Paris in under five hours, or Barcelona in ninety minutes — which matters enormously if you're buying this as a second home and flying in from London, Amsterdam, or Brussels. The villa itself sits entirely on one level, which sounds like a minor detail until you actually live in it. No stairs. Every room flows directly outward. Three bedrooms, each fitted with oversized windows that push open to let in the evening garrigue breeze — that dry, wild-herb scent that drifts down from the scrubland above the plain. One be ... click here to read more

Step outside on a Tuesday morning and the cobblestones of the Grand Rue are already humming — a potter carrying clay, a boulangerie door swinging open releasing a warm rush of butter and crust, a cat stretched across a sun-warmed stone step that's been there since the 13th century. This is the daily texture of life in Cordes-sur-Ciel, one of the most quietly extraordinary medieval hilltop villages in southwest France, and this fully renovated three-bedroom house with a self-contained gîte puts you right in the middle of it. The house sits just off the Grand Rue on the village's south-facing flank, which means light — generous, consistent, south-facing light — floods through every room from morning through late afternoon. That matters in a village where some properties are tucked into the hillside and live in perpetual shade. Not this one. The kitchen-diner downstairs looks directly onto the garden, and there's something quietly satisfying about cooking a Sunday lunch with the window open while the bells of the Église Saint-Michel drift across the rooftops. The renovation here was done properly. New roof, new plumbing, new electrics, double-glazed windows throughout, updated bathrooms — not a cosmetic refresh but a complete structural overhaul. The result is a house that carries all the character of its medieval context — thick stone walls, the particular acoustic stillness that old buildings have — while functioning with entirely modern reliability. The wood-burning stove in the living room isn't decorative nostalgia; on a January evening when the Tarn valley mist rolls in below the village, you'll want exactly that kind of warmth. Upstairs, two large bedrooms share a well-appointed bathroom. The layout is generous fo ... click here to read more

Saturday morning in Laroque-des-Albères starts with a sound: swallows cutting sharp arcs over the rooftops, the distant clang of the church bell on the main square, and somewhere close by, someone firing up a wood-fired grill. You open the south-facing terrace door, coffee in hand, and the entire ridgeline of the Albères massif sits right there in front of you — no cranes, no apartment blocks, just the ancient limestone spine of the Pyrenees catching the early Catalan sun. That's the daily reality of this fully renovated single-storey house in one of the Pyrénées-Orientales' most sought-after villages. Two bedrooms, a brand-new kitchen, landscaped terraces, a 350m² garden plot, and energy costs running between €810 and €1,160 per year. At €330,000, it represents serious value for a turn-key second home in French Catalonia. Laroque-des-Albères sits at the precise point where the Pyrenees give way to the coastal plain, tucked just above the valley floor on the road that threads between the French and Spanish Catalan worlds. The village itself has kept its shape — stone houses tight along narrow lanes, a café terrace where old men still play pétanque on weekday afternoons, a weekly market that spills across the square with vendors selling local honey, Roussillon wines, and anchovies from Collioure. It's not a tourist fabrication. People actually live here year-round, which gives the place a grounded, unhurried rhythm that resort towns simply can't manufacture. The house sits in a cul-de-sac less than two minutes' walk from the village centre. That proximity matters more than it might sound on paper. You can leave the car in the garage and forget about it for days. Bread from the boulangerie, a cold rosé at the bar, dinne ... click here to read more

Picture this: it's nine in the morning, the kitchen smells of strong coffee and toast, and through the full-height windows the hills of Quercy Blanc roll out in front of you, pale limestone and dark cypress under an already-warm July sky. You're not on holiday in some anonymous resort. You're in your own place — a converted barn in a hamlet outside Lauzerte, one of France's classified "Plus Beaux Villages", and the day is entirely yours. This is what 226 square metres of seriously well-considered living space feels like when someone with a genuine eye has put it together. The previous owner was an antique dealer, and it shows — not in a cluttered, fussy way, but in the confidence of someone who knows what works. Exposed stone walls meet polished concrete floors. Original oak beams run across ceilings that climb to full height. A Canadian 20kW log-burning stove anchors the sitting room, the kind of stove that makes winter weekends here feel like a gift rather than a compromise. The interplay of raw and refined — reclaimed architectural salvage alongside clean, contemporary lines — gives the interior a quality that photographs well but feels even better in person. The kitchen is properly equipped. Integrated appliances, modern fittings, no compromises for the sake of aesthetics. Three bathrooms across the four bedrooms mean no queuing, no negotiating over schedules, no friction — exactly what you need when you've got a family or a group of friends under one roof. Built-in storage throughout and double glazing on every window mean this isn't just a summer house. You can use it in February and be comfortable. Step outside and the 1,100 square metres of private garden immediately make sense. The 8x4 metre pool is the obvio ... click here to read more

On a clear January morning, you step out onto the upstairs balcony with a coffee in hand and the Godin range cooker already warming the kitchen below. The Pyrenees are right there — not a postcard suggestion of mountains, but the full, snow-capped range stretching across the horizon in sharp winter light. Two hectares of land roll out beneath you, fruit trees bare and skeletal against the frost, a walled courtyard catching the first sun. This is Les Tourreilles, a corner of Haute-Garonne that most people drive through without knowing what they've missed. The farmhouse dates to 1893, built from local pebbles and stone in the way they built things back then — to last. And it has. The walls are thick enough to keep August heat at bay without air conditioning, and the character that took more than a century to accumulate hasn't been renovated away. It's been respected. The current owner put serious thought and real money into the restoration: slate floors, high ceilings, cast-iron structural elements left exposed where they add something, quality throughout rather than flash. Three bedrooms, each with its own bathroom — a practical arrangement that matters enormously when you're hosting family or renting the property. No arguments over the shower schedule. The living room organizes itself around a wood-burning stove, the kind of focal point that makes a room actually feel inhabited rather than staged. And the open-plan kitchen and dining area is the real heart of the house, anchored by that Godin range cooker running on gas, electricity, and wood — a serious piece of equipment that makes Sunday lunches an event. Granite countertops, quality fittings, nothing cheap. Then there's the spa room, which is genuinely unexpected. ... click here to read more

On a still Sunday morning in Monflanquin, the bells from the Église Saint-André carry clear across the bastide rooftops, and if you're standing on the roof terrace of this late-19th-century town house with a coffee in hand, the view rolls out all the way across the Lot-et-Garonne countryside in shades of green and gold. That moment alone could sell this house. But there's so much more. Monflanquin is one of those rare places that hasn't been polished smooth for tourists. It earned its spot on the Les Plus Beaux Villages de France list the hard way — medieval bastide grid, arcaded central square, stone and silence — and it wears the accolade quietly. The Wednesday market on the Place des Arcades draws locals who've been shopping there for decades: wedges of aged Cantal, jars of foie gras, flat baskets of mirabelle plums in late summer. You can walk from the front gate of this house to that market in under ten minutes. Walk back with a baguette and a bunch of dahlias and you've already lived the kind of morning most people only imagine. The house itself was built to impress. Whoever commissioned it at the turn of the last century had ambitions — you can see it in every deliberate detail. The slate roof is laid in fish-scale tiles, a technique that demands a craftsman's patience and looks extraordinary in afternoon light. Original cast-iron gates hang between stone gate posts at the entrance, still swinging on their original hinges. Step through the grand entranceway, with its geometric tiled floor, and you're inside a property that has held its dignity through more than a century without losing its warmth. The sitting room has a log-burning stove that earns its keep on January evenings when the Périgord Noir wind picks ... click here to read more

Sunday morning in Loubigné, and the only sounds reaching the upstairs master suite are birdsong, the faint creak of old timber beams settling in the warmth, and somewhere below, the soft clatter of someone starting coffee in the kitchen. That's what 338 square metres of stone-built French country house feels like when it's yours. Not a hotel. Not a rental. Yours. This seven-bedroom property in the Deux-Sèvres department of Poitou-Charentes is one of those houses that genuinely surprises you. The gravelled courtyard you pull into, shaded by established trees and framed by stone outbuildings, gives you a sense of arrival — real arrival, the kind where you exhale and your shoulders drop. Three separate entrances. Two garages. A 70 m² cluster of stone outbuildings that could become a workshop, a studio, a games barn, or simply the best storage you've ever had. And behind it all, a large heated swimming pool surrounded by terrace, with an outdoor shower, a pergola for shade, and a pétanque court set into the lawn. This is the French countryside as it's actually meant to be lived. Inside, the house has genuine scale. The main reception rooms include a large living room anchored by a stone fireplace with a wood-burning stove — the kind of fireplace that becomes the social centre of the house from October through March. There's a separate dining space, a sizeable games room, and a utility room that keeps the practical business of a large household from bleeding into the living spaces. The ground floor has been thoughtfully arranged so that one double bedroom, complete with its own bathroom (both bath and walk-in shower), sits alongside a separate reception room with its own fireplace and independent exterior access. For a visi ... click here to read more

Step off a private lane — maintained by the town hall, used by absolutely no one but you — and suddenly the noise of the world just stops. That's not a figure of speech. Standing on the covered terrace of this early 19th-century stone farmhouse in the Tarn-et-Garonne, the only sounds you'll reliably hear are the wind moving through the established gardens and, on summer evenings, the faint hum of cicadas. Three hectares of countryside roll away in every direction, and there isn't a neighbor in sight. This is the kind of property that people describe to friends at dinner parties and watch their eyes go wide. A real farmhouse, built from local stone sometime in the early 1800s, with the bones to prove it — thick walls that hold the cool in August, a sitting room dominated by a stone fireplace with a log-burning stove, beamed ceilings that have watched two centuries of life pass beneath them. And yet none of it feels like a museum. The kitchen is modern and properly fitted with integral appliances. The bathroom is stylish rather than retrofitted. Oil central heating keeps winter comfortable, and a solar hot water system means the sun does useful work from May through September. This is a farmhouse you can actually live in, without a renovation project hanging over your head. The layout gives you room to breathe. Four bedrooms plus a dedicated study means the property functions just as well for a family with kids needing their own space as it does for a couple who want a guest room and a home office. The sitting and dining room flows naturally toward the large covered terrace outside — the kind of shaded outdoor space where lunch starts at one o'clock and somehow it's four before anyone notices. A built-in barbecue makes a ... click here to read more

You wake up on a Saturday morning in late September and the first thing you hear isn't traffic or a neighbour's lawnmower—it's the low, rhythmic creak of old stone and timber as the mill mechanism stirs in the morning air. Step to the window and the view is all soft mist lifting off the Tarn-et-Garonne countryside, a dovecote catching the early light, and rows of trees slowly turning amber at the edges. This is what owning a piece of southwest France actually feels like. Not a postcard. A life. This five-bedroom stone watermill in Lacour sits just over an hour's drive from Toulouse-Blagnac airport—close enough for a long weekend, far enough that you'll never hear a flight overhead. The mill itself is a genuine rarity. The original mechanical workings are still intact and fully operational. You can set them turning if you like, grind your own flour, or simply let them stand as the extraordinary conversation piece they are. Either way, the ground floor—where the machinery lives—is unlike anything you'll find in a standard country house renovation. It's part living history, part childhood fantasy. The residential accommodation spreads across the first and second floors, covering 198 square metres in total. Five bedrooms give you space for the whole family, a rotating cast of friends, or a combination of both across a long summer. Two bathrooms, stone floors worn smooth over centuries, exposed beamed ceilings, and a living room built around a working fireplace with an opening wide enough to take serious logs. On a January evening with the fire going and a bottle of Cahors Malbec open on the table, you'll understand exactly why people fall headlong for this part of France and never quite manage to leave. The property sits ... click here to read more

Sunday morning in Puy-l'Évêque sounds like this: church bells rolling down from the medieval tower, the distant clatter of the weekly market on the square, and the faint smell of woodsmoke drifting across stone rooftops that have been standing since the 13th century. You're in the kitchen of a house built in 1887, coffee in hand, sunlight cutting through the original glazed vestibule and landing in stripes across the flagstone floor. This is the kind of morning people drive thousands of miles — or book a flight to Cahors — to find. Puy-l'Évêque sits high on a limestone cliff above the Lot River, one of those Quercy villages that somehow stayed real. It didn't get polished into a tourism showpiece. The boulangerie on Rue du Dr Malbet still sells the same walnut bread it always has. The Tuesday market brings farmers from the surrounding causse with duck confit, aged Rocamadour cheese, and Malbec from the Cahors appellation — vineyards that start just minutes outside the village limits. The Lot Valley is serious wine country, and if you're here in October during harvest, you'll understand why locals don't leave. This five-bedroom stone house sits at the center of that village, not on the periphery. You walk out the front door and you're already in it — the rhythm of Puy-l'Évêque life, the café terraces, the medieval lanes, the river views from the promontory a few minutes on foot. But step back inside and shut the electric gate and the outside world drops away entirely. The house itself is the result of a careful, expensive renovation carried out by owners who clearly lived here rather than just owning it. They kept the stone staircase — a genuinely handsome piece of 19th-century craftsmanship that anchors the entrance h ... click here to read more

Sunday morning in the Quercy Blanc, and the only sound you can hear is the wind moving through the old walnut trees at the edge of the garden. No traffic. No neighbors. Just the particular silence that rural southwest France does better than almost anywhere else in Europe — the kind that makes city people stop mid-sentence and just listen. That's the daily reality of owning this 18th-century stone house outside Civray, and once you've felt it, a weekend here starts to feel less like a holiday and more like the life you should have been living all along. The house itself has had an exceptional steward. A designer owner poured serious money and craft into the restoration, which means you get the bones of a genuine 18th-century farmhouse — original terracotta floor tiles worn smooth by two centuries of use, exposed stone walls that stay cool even in July, a fireplace that fills the main living space with the particular smell of a wood fire on an October evening — combined with a kitchen that's genuinely modern and bathrooms that don't ask you to sacrifice comfort for character. That combination is rarer than it sounds. Most period properties in this part of France sit at one extreme or the other: either over-renovated into something generic, or authentically historic and functionally difficult. This one hits the balance. At 230 square meters, the layout is generous, and it's been configured with real intelligence. The property currently operates as two interconnected dwellings, separated by an internal doorway that can stay open or closed depending on who's visiting and when. The main section is a one-bedroom home with cathedral ceilings that make the space feel vast, a superb stone fireplace as the focal point, and a mod ... click here to read more
