The Region and things to do...
The nearest large towns are Cahors and Figeac
wonderful for their markets and mediaeval buildings. Dramatic cliff-top
villages and the exceptionally beautiful Lot and Célé
rivers provide inspiration as well as opportunities for swimming,
canoeing, walking, painting or just picnicking and lazing around.
Horse-riding and tennis are available locally. The house has table
tennis and badminton. In the summer many villages have a 'foire de brocante'
and so if you enjoy hunting for antique bargains this can be a full-time
activity. Alternatively, you may prefer to explore the local vineyards
and taste the famous Cahors wines!
