Beautiful Medieval House in St. Cirq Lapopie, Lot, Tarn-et-Garonne, Midi-Pyrénées Reviews

We’re back from France and of course missing it very much. St Cirq Lapopie was clearly our favorite place without a doubt. So magical. Despite the heat, we carried on and although we had less energy to do all that we wanted, we took extra time to sip wine as you suggested and I made several walks on flat ground to the bakery in Tour-de-Faure for bread, croissants and chocolatines. I made a connection with the very nice lady there and she helped me some with my french! We made a point of speaking and writing in french as much as we could. My husband and I tasted and purchased wine from Musee de Vin which was so fun. We all roamed with our cameras at various times of the day and night. La Roue was our favorite restaurant; we went there 3 times for dinner! The kind folks got used to my evening phone call about asking for a reservation (in french) and never completely understanding their response; we showed up and there was always a table waiting for us. The owner made a point of coming to talk with us and asked us how we heard about the restaurant; I let then know that you did.
Our favorite market was Limogne-en-Quercy; the town looked adorable and I only wish I took time to explore it. (This was our first outing/market and I was ready to head back “home” after getting our purchases.) Next time! Some of the group went to the cave and loved it. Some went swimming and some hiked the tow path along the limestone cliffs; so beautiful. Most of us got to see the medieval bridge in Cahors when we were there for the market or when picking up members of our group at the train station. Every time I tried to read, I ended up just staring outside. I especially love the little window by the chair in the TV room. My husband liked the different ways the stone was done underneath the windows in the main bedroom.
Thank you so much for the opportunity to experience your house and village. We are so grateful. We will cherish our memories and look forward to the time that we return to make more.
