Local Attractions
Frayssinet-le-Gélat is located in the department of Lot and we are only 5 kilometres from the Dordogne. The Lot area is famous for its beautiful villages, traditional food markets, vineyards, caves and restaurants and is an excellent location to visit the famous towns of Cahors, Racamadore and Sarlat, to name but a few!. In addition, for those who enjoy outdoor activities there is so much to do locally including, water and adventure parks, horse riding, canoeing, cycling, walking, golfing, fishing as well as visiting historic caves, medieval towns, churches and castles.
The beautiful, quiet village of Frayssinet-le-Gélat is 1.5km from Malbernat and can be reached via a leisurely stroll through the woods. The local bar / restaurant serves delicious traditional foods. An artisan baker provides freshly baked breads/croissants and cakes and the village shop sells all the basics alongside many different cheeses, meats and wines from the area. A small lake (Plan D’Eau) is found on the way to the village which has an area for swimming and fishing as well as an alfresco bar serving homemade burgers, steaks, moules frites and omelettes as well as crêpes and ice creams.
