The gite is the perfect place from which to explore the delights of the "Parc Naturel Régional des Causses du Quercy " and enjoys wonderful views of the surrounding countryside."La Petite Grange" is on a quiet lane from which after a short 5 minute walk arrives at a wonderful panoramic view of the Chateau of Ceneviere and the Lot river.Here on the causse we have the longest hours of sunshine and in the height of the summer the soft breezes are very welcome!

Activities
In Cajarc, the nearest small town there is a small well stocked supermarket, several restaurants and bars, a tabac, boulangeries etc. and a beautiful " Plein D'eau " where one can sit on the edge of the river with an ice cold beer and watch people just "messing about on the river". The old railway station and bridge here featured in the film " Charlotte Gray"...and things haven't changed much since then!
If you follow the road in the opposite direction you will arrive at the historic town of Cahors( about 35 minutes drive ) Again following a superbly scenic route, you will pass the lovely village of St Cirq Lapopie perched high above the valley, well worth a visit for its medieval architecture, numerous restaurants, art galleries and its specialty gourmet shops selling everything from paté de foie gras, confit de canard, and everything it's possible to make from walnuts!
