Local Area

Located in the Tarn et Garonne, Sout West France, this area is surrounded by beautiful landscapes, mediaeval towns and villages and historic sites. Places such as Lauzerte, Puy-l’Eveque, Chateau de Bruniquel, Castelnau-Montratier, Moissac and Cahors, to mention just a few.

Lauzerte is about 9 kms from the property and this charming medieval hilltop village known for its narrow streets, historical buildings, and panoramic views is listed as one of France's "Les Plus Beaux Villages de France" (The Most Beautiful Villages of France). Explore its quaint squares, the Church of Saint-Barthélemy, and the beautiful surrounding countryside. It also has many shops, restaurants and bars including a weekly market on Saturday and Wednesdays. During the summer, there is also an evening market on a Thursday.

Moissac is a 18 km drive away and is famous for the Abbey of Saint-Pierre, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The abbey is an important stop on the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route. Don’t miss the cloister with its intricate carvings and the town’s lovely bridge over the Tarn River. Moissac is also famous for the Moissac Jazz Festival which takes place every year usually from late July to mid-August.

Cahors although slightly further away (approx. 35km) is well worth a visit and for its Pont Valentré, a 14th-century fortified bridge and the Saint-Étienne Cathedral. The city lies in the Lot Valley, surrounded by vineyards, making it a great base for exploring the region's wine routes.

The Tarn et Garonne offers a wealth of outdoor and cultural activities for nature lovers, history enthusiasts and those seeking a slower pace of life. Yet there are still many activities to enjoy such as hiking, nature walks, cycling, canoeing and kayaking, wine tasting and vineyard tours, exploring medieval villages, caves (speleology), fishing and visiting historical sites and Châteaux. The Tarn et Garonne is also well known for its gastronomy, particularly foie gras, truffles, melon de Quercy and Cahors wine. The Tarn et Garone is a great region for those seeking both relaxation and adventure.

Getting Here

The large International Airport of Toulouse-Blagnac Airport (TLS) is approximately an hour and 30 minutes by car. It is a major hub for flights to and from Europe and also beyond to Canada, Dubai, New York, Doha, Tunisia. The Dordogne riverside town of Bergerac with its smaller International Airport is also just under a 2 hour drive to the North.
