The house is located in the Lot department, formerly also known as the province of "Quercy", in south-western France. The department gets its name from the river that runs through it: the Lot.
This river is a 10-minute drive from the house, and is one of the cleanest rivers in France. You can fish for carp, catfish, eel and zander, among others.
For the more adventurous among us, you can rent canoes and kayaks in the various towns along the river, or take a trip on the river by boat. You also have organisations where you can book canyoneering and climbing tours, and there are several tree-climbing parks nearby.
Driving around the beautiful countryside, with its many valleys and rocky hills, you will come across many vast vineyards. Indeed, the house is located in the oldest wine region in France, covering over 4200 hectares and home to the red "Cahors wine" (Malbec), a wine with protected designation of origin (AOP). There are many wineries nearby where you can taste and buy wine on location.
There are many picturesque villages and towns to visit nearby. The nearest village is Sérignac, 4 km away. Here there is a small neighbourhood supermarket where you can buy all necessities and where you can order fresh bread every morning. There is also a cosy restaurant with a bar.
During the summer months, there is a nice food market to visit every night of the week. These food markets are held in different spots around the house. All within a 20-minute drive. At these food markets, you can enjoy local delicacies and a drink. Music is also played at each food market.
The nearest larger towns are about 15 km away. There is the medieval town of Puy l'Éveque, where you can do your shopping at a typical French market every Tuesday and Saturday morning. There is also a bank, pharmacy, large supermarket and tourist office.
The hustle and bustle can be sought in cities such as Cahors (40 km) and Agen (50 km).
As there are many places of interest in the region, we cannot describe everything (we can send a list on request), but some places that stand out include the Castle of Bonaguil (21 km) and the Castle of Biron (35 km), both castles from the Middle Ages that can be visited.
You can also make a day of it and visit the beautiful religious town of Rocamadour (100 km), classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the famous stalactite cave of Padirac, where you can take an underground boat trip
