Holiday House near Cahors (France)

cahors country house .com

Richard and Jo Price warmly welcome you to this website about our house in the country just south of Cahors in the Lot, an unspoilt part of south west France known for its spectacular scenery and medieval history, its wine, and much more.

We are a family of five and our house is therefore fully equipped for families with children and babies. We provide all that you will need for an easy, relaxed family holiday. We have tried to think of all those little extras that make a big difference to a young family (see inventory section).

All you need to bring are your clothes and a swimming costume, making a fly drive holiday easy! Pets can come too.

“House was just perfect for our family, great pool and beautiful surrounding countryside. House was very thoughtfully equipped.” L.M. (Cornwall)

Hi-spec Family House in rural France

The house is a pretty and characterful 19th Century Quercy styled house, lovingly restored to a very high standard and furnished to a high specification. Clad in Virginia Creeper, the house is in a tranquil and rural location in an unspoilt part of France.

There is a good sized, private, outdoor, heated swimming pool with terraced area, together with large gardens, a patio, a barbecue area and an arbour for outdoor dining.

Unspoilt Lot and Aveyron rivers' area

The house is situated on the edge of a tiny hamlet, Laval, far away from any busy roads with lovely views of the surrounding countryside on the plateau of the Causse de Limogne. Laval is 5km from the nearest village, Lalbenque, and about 20 minutes from Cahors.

The plateau lies between the Rivers Lot and Aveyron, making both easily accessible. The rivers cut through limestone, forming spectacular cliff scenery. Numerous villages cling to the cliffs. St Cirq Lapopie (top right), close by on the Lot, is one of these and regarded by many as one of the prettiest villages in France.
