Gîte Le Saltre - Self-catering house in Lot
Le Saltre, 46170 Saint-Alauzie, Castelnau-Montratier, Lot
Midi - Pyrénées,
Francia
Gaze across the wooded valley to the gentle Quercy hills; crack open the welcome bottle of wine. The setting is stunning and the blackbirds sing. You cannot help but unwind.
This rustic, stylish, 18th-century barn comes with its own barbecue terrace, and exclusive use of the owners' pool. Your living space is light and lofty, your en suite bedrooms - one up, one down - serene, and your well-equipped kitchen the bees-knees. Penny and Patrick work at their restaurant in Montcuq during the day, so the whole place feels like yours.
Montcuq, cobblestoned capital of the Quercy Blanc, is full of good places to eat; Lauzerte, a 15-minute drive, is equally charming. This gentle region, wedged between Bordeaux, Toulouse and the Lot, teems with small, often organic, food and wine producers... get your bread in Castelnau from the wood-fired oven. Your hosts will recommend all their favourites.

Local points of interest from Penny & Patrick Henrotin:
Puntos de interés sobre la región de
Penny & Patrick Henrotin:
- There is something for everyone. The hamlet of Le Saltre is ideally located between Castelnau Montratier, Montcuq and Lauzerte. Walks through woodland and sunflower fields straight from the front door. You may see a deer or two grazing in the background
- A 10-minute drive to Montcuq, a popular tourist attraction, cobblestoned streets, a buzzing Sunday market, restaurants and cafes where one can relax with a glass of wine, a coffee or even enjoy a chilled glass of Fenelon, a traditional Quercy appetiser.
- A short drive to Castelnau, full of peaks and valleys, the houses here with boletus terraces and Mediterranean roofs have a charm. The dome of Saint-Martin’s Church is reminiscent of Sacre Coeur in Montmartre. Golf on a hilly 9 holes, par 70 course.
- A 15-minute drive to Lauzerte, stopover for pilgrims, perched above the valleys and hills of Quercy Blanc. 12th century village, a path leading to Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle. A short drive to Moissac, with its world heritage 12c abbey and cloister.
- Enjoy a day in Cahors, town on the Lot river, known for its Pont Valentre, a medieval bridge with 3 towers. The old town features narrow alleyways, imposing Cathedrale St-Etienne. You can even take a boat trip on the river Lot during the Summer.
- Drive along the banks of the river Lot through wonderful gorges, visit the beautiful village of Saint-Cirq-La-Popie perched high on the cliff or cycle along the river Lot. A day trip to Rocamadour or simply sample the unique flavours of Cahors Malbec wine
