The house
Holiday home Pouget is a completely detached holiday home with private pool in the Lot et Garonne, Dordogne border, southern France, suitable for up to 6 people with a large garden around the house. There are woods on all sides so lots of privacy!
This holiday home is tastefully/modernly furnished and fully equipped with dishwasher, fridge, microwave, washing machine, etc. Of course, you have a free Wifi connection and a smart TV (NLziet) both inside and outside.
Your private pool measures 10 x 4 metres. The pool (with loungers) is located in a well-kept garden where you can enjoy the sun and shade or have a nice barbecue. The pool is maintained 1x per week for you, so you swim in a nice clear pool. You can also sit sheltered on the large covered terrace with large dining table and sitting area. There is covered parking for 2 cars.
In the house you have a living room with fireplace, lovely sitting area, 3 bedrooms for 2 persons each, a dining kitchen and a bathroom. The beds are of good quality and all linen is included in the rental price. You only need to bring your towel for the pool! The house is lovely and cool thanks to good insulation. There is a safe in the hall closet for any papers and other valuables. In short, it is a fine house, extremely suitable for holidays in a very wooded area, the forest borders all around!!! Look on Google Maps for the location: maps.app.goo.gl/x4P8cpn789CXwRhg6 The area will certainly please you because Cuzorn is really such a French village, at the foot of a ruin on a rock and then those vineyards, castles etc. etc. The real France!

This holiday home is located just outside the village of Cuzorn in the Lot and Garonne department, bordering the Dordogne. For your daily shopping you can go to the supermarket Intermarché at 7 km and a few kilometres further is Fumel with Leclerc, Lidl, Action and a Dutch snack bar/restaurant.
Nearby is the village of Libos where there is a very large market once a week, popular in the area. The immediate area is known for its cosy bastides, where you can really enjoy the still original medieval architecture in the small streets. The villages and towns have festivals and festivities throughout the summer. There are brocantes, many art galleries, restaurants and various village festivals. The evening markets, the 'Marché Gourmandes are the biggest attraction and are what the South-West is known for. Every night there is one in the area and you can buy fresh home-made delicacies from all the stalls, which you then eat at long tables on the square. There is always live music present and you will be surprised what quality can be found in those little villages!
The Lot et Garonne has a rolling very green landscape and is known for its many sunflowers, castles and vineyards.
People call it "the Jardin de la France" here and you are in the Cahors region. This famous region makes one of the very best wines you won't find at the liquor store in the Netherlands. Cahors wines are fast beating Bordeaux and everywhere you can taste and buy top wines for ridiculously low prices at the domains. Cahors wines are full-bodied heavy wines made from the Malbec grape, with or without a little Merlot mixed in.
Nearby are Chateau Bonaguil and Biron and famous 13th-century towns everywhere.
For the kids, there is park Walibi in Agen, a climbing park nearby and much more.
Marvel at the low prices you pay in the restaurants around noon. I don't say restaurantJES for nothing because as mass tourism is foreign here, everything is still cosy and small-scale. Most prepare their meals with local and often organic produce.
The managers of Pouget are Daan and Marjolein, Daan has a nice website where you can find everything, look for that at 'lotgenoten' punt fr and click on 'streekinfo'. 'Lot' in Lotgenoten stands for the river :-) Or ask them yourself, they know the area very well and live 15 minutes from the holiday home.

Restaurants, food & wine
The blue grape variety Malbec is native to southwestern France. If grown on a good terroir and under good conditions, the grape can produce both powerful and complex red wines with lots of tannins, and full-bodied wines with supple fruit. But, all Malbecs have a rustic character. The aroma of a Malbec wine usually contains fruit of blackberries, cherries and currants, and you can also detect a lot of spice. In addition, the wine often has solid aromas, such as choco, laurel, leather, truffle and brushwood. Note, however, that a Malbec wine does not always contain all the above scents. They vary, depending on country and region of origin and, of course, the production methods chosen by the winemaker.
So France is the homeland of the Malbec and the wine region of Cahors the cradle of the grape. Cahors is located in the southwest of France. It is one of the oldest wine regions in the world and comprises about 4,200 hectares of vineyard. The Malbec grape is the great pride of the region. The best wines from this grape are powerful, intense and tannic. For a long time, this meant they needed several years to reach drinking age, but for some time now this has been changing. Thanks to the tactic of letting the grapes ripen longer, as well as other improved winemaking techniques, the tannins soften and these French red wines become increasingly fruity and supple, allowing them to be drunk earlier.
Most restaurants in the area have local Malbecs on their menus and, unsurprisingly, prices are very reasonable as a result. If you want information on local restaurants, ask the managers, they know them well!!!
