    Maison très bien équipée et très bien située. Propriétaire très sympathique et toujours prêt à rendre service. Je ne mets qu'un 9/10 car seules les chaines de télévisions anglaises sont disponibles. Bref, tout était parfait (literie, ....).

  • Cycling Club from Fajoles,

    10 stars

    Fantastic location for cycling. We were a party of 8 lads on a cycling holiday, and hired both property's had the time of our lives. The barns have everything you need eat in or alfresco just brilliant, Gourdon for a meal is also a must. Bob is very friendly and super helpful, thanks for the lovely meal and cake on arrival. Canoeing on the Dordogne is brilliant very safe. Coffee shops / bars they are all good. If you are looking for a location for cycling this is it , great roads almost no pot holes, drivers are pretty much all cyclists friendly , we visited some amazing places all by bike 🚴. Thanks again Bob 10 out of 10. Copied from our guestbook

Restaurants, food & wine

You can visit the weekly local markets where all manner of fresh produce is for sale- ideal for the foodies with the local specialities available.

Activities

The barns are ideally situated in a countryside setting in the golden triangle between the historic 'Cité Médiévale' of Gourdon, medieval Sarlat and the pilgrim site of Rocamadour.

We are close to the Dordogne river where you can experience all kinds of activities from just relaxing on the river beach to hiring canoes to lazily paddle down river stopping off for a picnic lunch or a drink at one of the many café bars or take a trip on a historic Gabbare at Beynac.

If pre-history is your thing this area has world renowned caves to visit with world heritage status cave paintings to view. Indeed one of these is just 5 minutes up the road.

Golfing is available within a short drive and likewise there are many fishing lakes in easy reach stocked with specimen Carp, Catfish and many other varieties.

The children will love it here as there are so many attractions for them. There is a steam tourist train at Martel and flying demonstrations with the Eagles near Rocamadour and nearby you can also feed the apes. At Gramat the zoo is one of the largest in France with over 1000animals including endangered species. Another great attraction is Insectorama where you can see many strange and different creepy crawlies – the kids will love it. There are also adventure playgrounds and the Aquaparc at Quercyland.

As you would expect many superb chateaux are open to visit along with many different kinds of gardens.

If you are adventurous then how about a walking trail through the tree tops at one of the local “airparc”, perhaps with ziplining to follow or perhaps a ride in a hot air balloon or hang gliding in tandem.

We have numerous walking and cycling routes close by and bike hire and equipment for all ages and styles can be rented and be here for when you arrive – just let us know & we will arrange it for you.
