Our family, including my husband, mother, daughter, her boyfriend, and our college aged son and three of his friends from the states and UK, just finished our week-long stay at your beautiful, home. To say we enjoyed ourselves would be an understatement!
Several of us started our trip in Paris and then made the easy, six hour drive to the house in a rental we picked up in the city. Our daughter came by way of Barcelona and also rented a car from the Barcelona airport. Having a car while staying at the house was great for seeing the sites in the region.
Our typical day started with coffee outside on the terrace, followed by one of the many things to do in the area. We explored the quaint shops and delicious restaurants in the village, went swimming and kayaking at the river, played frisbee at the river, explored Pech Merle (too cool for words), visited Cahors, visited several markets where we purchased fresh produce, cheese and wine, went on endless walks through the village and on the trails, read in open windows and outside on the terrace, played UNO, Scabble, and Yahtzee, and drank delicious local wines...all...day...long. We also went to dinner twice in town, but preferred whipping up meals in the gourmet kitchen. We also met "new friends" on the terrace picnic table (practically every evening) and finished the day with more wine under the stars! We were never bored!
The house was big enough for all nine of us to have our own private spaces,and the open floor plan, kitchen-dining-room-living-room, accommodated us in the evening for dinner followed by cards or board games.
On the last night in the village, the annual Bastille Day festival took place with an incredible DJ and light show, plus yet another excuse to drink more local wine and beer. Our group ranging in age from 21 to 72 had such a great time that we have already planned our next visit in 2019! The next time we will return with our daughter, her boyfriend and our son, but will bring two new couples with us, too.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!
