Property Description

Set among fields and wooded hillsides between the river Lot and the smaller river Célé, 'Les Pégouriés' offers comfortable accommodation and a tranquil setting for holidays in what remains one of the most unspoilt and fascinating areas of France.

Les Pégouriés� is situated up a short track off a minor road, undisturbed by immediate neighbours or traffic noise and surrounded by open fields, woods and hillsides. It was an abandoned farm, dating back to the end of the 18th century. We now live in the farmhouse, whilst the two large barns have been carefully converted and decorated to provide three self-catering gîtes with privacy, comfort and character.

Each of our gîtes faces a different direction and is completely self-contained. All three are carpeted throughout with sisal matting or tiled, with rugs, and are simply decorated and well furnished. Each bathroom has a loo, shower and washbasin. Kitchen areas are all well-equipped, and each has a full-size cooker and fridge. Each gîte has a grassed or paved area immediately outside together with barbecue and garden furniture for outdoor eating, and there are pleasant garden areas close by for your use.

There is a washing machine for the shared use of guests, as well as as clotheslines, iron and ironing board. There are also bikes, games including croquet, badminton and table-tennis and a wide range of books, maps and information freely available.

Children are welcome at 'Les Pégouriés', and a certain amount of play equipment is available. A cot and highchair can be supplied free of charge on request and an evening baby listening/child minding service can be provided by arrangement.

Local Area Information

A ten-minute drive down the hill from 'Les Pégouriés' takes you to Cajarc, a small town on the river Lot with a pleasant, relaxed atmosphere, offering a variety of local shops, restaurants and other facilities. It has a good municipal swimming pool including a toddlers' pool and a pretty waterfront for strolling, dining, or taking river boat trips.

You will find plenty to do and see here. 'Les Pégouriés' is an ideal base from which to explore the Lot and Célé valleys, where the rivers cut deep into the limestone, creating beautiful and dramatic scenery. Villages cling to the cliffs, and traditional farms still flourish, with their fields of tobacco, maize and sunflowers. The history and way of life of former generations are evident in all you see, from the cave paintings of Peche Merle, the nearby picturesque village of St Cirq-la-Popie, the chateaux and the ancient places of worship, to the simple hamlets and villages, the rolling cultivated land and the wild landscapes beyond.

There is a huge variety of things to do round here, with outdoor interests especially well catered for. There is excellent walking, varying from Grandes Randonées forming part of the ancient pilgrim route to Santiago de Compostela, to smaller tracks and footpaths. Numerous paths pass through open countryside dotted with ancient farms and small hamlets, beside rivers and across the rugged terrain of the limestone causses, almost all well marked and accessible. Cycling offers another way to explore. The roads are free of heavy traffic and many of the tracks are fine for mountain bikes we have two bikes available for the free use of guests, and others can be hired inexpensively in Cajarc. You can also hire canoes and kayaks on both the Célé and the Lot and there is horse riding at various nearby centres. There are four good swimming pools within 10 -15 minutes drive of 'Les Pégouriés' and plenty of picnic and swimming places by the rivers.
