La Grange — Frayssinet

‘La Grange’ is situated on the edge of a quiet rural village midway between the Lot and Dordogne valleys in South West France, an ideal location for a quiet holiday in France.

Country setting but convenient for A20 autoroute and RN20 giving easy access to the surrounding area including the medieval towns of Gourdon and historic Cahors set within a loop on the river Lot. Domme, Sarlat, Rocamadour, Padirac and the river Dordogne are a short drive north, and equidistant southwards is the unspoilt valley of the river Lot with riverside hamlets and the beautiful village of St-Cirq-Lapopie set in a cliff face overlooking the river. Traditional festivals and fetes are often held in nearby villages and the area is ideal for day trips, walking and canoeing. ‘La Grange’ makes an ideal holiday base for one or two families or a group of friends. For a fun and relaxing holiday destination, the area is hard to beat.

Beautifully converted to a high standard, the property makes an ideal holiday home from which to explore this beautiful unspoilt region. The lack of traffic offers many cycling opportunities whilst the rivers Cele, Lot and Dordogne offer canoeing for all the family. Golf, fishing and tennis are all available locally. There are caves to visit including the world famous Les Eyzies with 49 million year old cave paintings and others with stunning caverns of stalactites and stalagmites.

As one of the great gastronomic regions of France, the area has many wonderful restaurants (most child friendly) serving high quality dishes at reasonable prices. In addition, there are an abundance of traditional French markets selling everything from food and wne to pottery and antiques.
