    Review Submitted: 2/4/2010

    My husband and I had a very comfortable holiday at this cottage in November 2009. It's only about 10 miles from Cahors, (once you've found the right way,) which is a great city, and Loustalnebe cottage is a lovely place to relax in after a day's sightseeing. A cut above most gites.

    Terrace Our favourite spot for sundowners Loustalnebe stays with you....... forever

    Fell in love with this spectacular Valley and restored the dire ruins to become my and Molly's home of 20 years
    I have a family returning this year for the 17th time It is a truly magical place and a must to visit at least once...

    Some of our favourite excursions..

    Saturday market Cahors.Vist the Pont Valentre and the house of King Henry have lunch by, or take a boat up the Lot river.
    Outside the park’s boundaries lies the easily walkable city of Cahors and its landmark Pont Valentré. The bridge - six pointed arches, three defensive towers ,spanning the Lot, make up the best surviving fortified river span in Europe. Cahors is better known in the UK for its wine and the many vineyards dotted along the Lot river. Excellent wine tasting.


    Monday market at Caussade, visit Cordes- sur -Ciel for lunch, after a coffee stop at St Antonin noble-Val drive through the Gorges of the Aveyron

    on to Albi.. Toulouse Lautrec museum, and the stunning Cathedral Sainte Cecile which took 2 centuries to build from 1282 to 1480 and is the largest brick building in the world!

    A must, is the Caves of Pech Merle 1 hr. guided tour, prehistoric drawings, more than 20.000 yrs old museum, pottery ,coffee shop and over the river to Ste Cirq le Popie for lunch and afternoon stroll through one of Frances prettiest villages perched on the banks of the Lot river

    Sunday market is a must! In the lively village of Montcuq (just 7 mins drive) one of the top 100 village markets in France for ambiance which also has a swimming lake lined with sand and a sandy beach lawns and a coffe shop and resturant.
    In our village Castelnau Montratier ther are two bars in the old stone arcades in the square and
    "Les Etaings" fishing lakes and resturant (overlooking the lakes)

    Visit Toulouse and the City of Space A beautiful and cultural City

    Scenic drive through Albas and the kings vineyards to Prayssac market, on to Grezels for a 5 course lunch inc wine for 25 euros!
    Back through Floressas to Chateau Chambert and Chateau Laur for a bit of wine tasting.

    Rocamadour with its cluster of medieval houses, battlements, towers and churches seems to be not so much perching on a rocky peak above the Alzou valley, as sprouting from it. Early morning visitors driving along the approach road, via the village of L’Hospitalet, will see the sun seemingly to cast a luminous shawl over it.
    The village became one of the most revered centres by pilgrims following the discovery of an ancient grave with an undecayed body, said to be that of St Amadour, an early Christian hermit, in 1166. A spate of miracles followed the discovery, putting a holy seal on the village.

    Other attractions here are Foret des Singes, 130 monkeys living in total freedom. La maison des Abeilles, and Rocher des Aigles over 100 rare species of birds, demonstrations of Birds of prey in flight.
    You can only explore properly by foot but the seven chapels, basilicas and museum accessed by the grand stairway (the pilgrims did the 216 stairs on their knees) easily consume a day. The old town is now pedestrianised and despite its main street being lined with souvenir shops they don’t detract from Rocamadour’s enduring appeal.

    Situated 20 minutes drive south west of , (the medieval capital of the Lot), just south of the Lot river, and the Cahors wine route. Between the villages of Castelnau Montratier and Montcuq. A beautiful region, unspoilt and quiet, made up of lush green hills and valleys, small farms, and medieval hilltop villages.
    Lovely white stone farmhouses dotted around with a colourful patchwork of sunflowers, maize, melons, corn, lavender, linseed, rape poppies and meadows of wild flowers.
    Wooded walks with wild orchids, honeysuckle, broom, ground cover of wild rock plants, Mosses and Lichen, small truffle oaks, wild herbs.

    Wild Boar, Deer, Hares, birds of prey, Nightingales and many species of Butterflies.

    “The gateway to the south” The area is generally warmer and dryer (and south) of the Dordogne.

    The Lot Valley has become one of the favourite destinations for the British in recent years and if you’ve already been you’ll know why. It’s immensely difficult to single out any particular attraction created by nature in the Lot as taking precedence over another, but most probably the jewels are: St-Cirq-Lapopie and the Gouffre de Padirac. Both are in the Parc Naturel Régional des Causses du Quercy which sprawls through most of the area swallowing up nearly all of the main sites.

    There is so much to do and see in the Lot and one should try for two weeks at least especially with the golf club. The cottage has well documented help and advise, whole day and half day trips and I am at hand to help with your choice, pre book a resturant, horse rides boat trips
    I can pre arrange any special surprise (birthdays etc..)
