In a lovely little-known area of France, a Quercynois farmhouse in its own land with a beautiful décor. For families, foodies & Francophiles

Take a coffee to ‘The Bolet’, the old veranda on the first floor, and watch the sun rise. This 300-year-old retreat, reached by a winding track across green fields, feels wonderfully remote. Yet civilisation is a six-minute drive, in medieval Montaigu and Tournon; at night you see Monflanquin's lights twinkling on the hill.

Bastide towns, many with marchés gourmands, abound: Lauzerte, Roquecor, Monflanquin. Stock up at Montaigu’s Saturday market, or take a picnic to the lake for pedalos, parasols and sands. For walkers, the area is a dream; a hiking path runs right by.

Play badminton and rounders before lunch. There’s a huge lounge downstairs furnished with karaoke, mini cinema and DVDs and another sitting room with games and books. The marvellous kitchen is upstairs, and a second kitchen a step away from the barbecue and pool.

Local points of interest from Pauline Whitehouse:

Punti d'interesse locali da
Pauline Whitehouse:

  • Wander the food markets and buy produce from local suppliers, prepare delicious meals to delight and inspire. Dine out; meals perfectly prepared, seasonal, local and simply sensational. Au P’tit Moissac, Le Caillau and Le Moulin de Dause to name a few.
  • Something active? Hire a canoe on the river Lot or explore the region on two wheels, cycling at its best on our quiet roads. Bike hire is available locally. Book out the tennis courts in Montaigu, we have rackets and tennis balls that you can borrow.
  • On the edge of the Cahors wine region and local to the Thezac- Perricard appellation, there are Domaines and Chateaux to visit; add a tasting to your gastronomic experience. Learn about the wine making process at Chateau Chambert and dine in their Bistro.
  • Try Montaigu Plage with its beach, lake, picnic area, café & paddle boats only 10 mins from the house. Aqua Zone provides inflatable fun in the summer on Montcuq lake. Venture further to Cap Nature at Pradines nr Cahors.
  • Indulge your historic self and visit chateau Bonaguil and the medieval town of Lauzerte. Montcuq and Montaigu de Quercy are bastide towns to visit, look for “Beau villages” recognised beautiful places. Peruse art galleries and people watch from a cafe.
  • Slip softly into the landscape and walk local routes, wander down county tracks and take in the landscape. Watch deer in the field, see black caps, red starts, jays, hoopoe, barn and scops owl to name a few. The Golden Oriel has been heard but not seen!
