La Terrasse is our first floor barn conversion on our old farm in the Causses du Quercy Regional Park. Comprising mature oak woodland and wildflower meadows, we bought the property for its peace and quality of wildlife, yet it is only 2km from our nearest village of Concots.
There are many quiet footpaths and cycle routes in the locality (the St Jaques de Compostelle route is a just a few kilometres away). The nearby River Lot and Cele offer boating, fishing, canoeing and swimming opportunities.
Within an hour of the gite by car you can reach a number of beautiful towns and villages which are fantastic locations for photography, shopping, food and sightseeing. The medieval city of Cahors is just a 30 minute drive to the west. Several of ‘Les Plus Beaux Villages de France’ – the 100 most beautiful villages in France, including St Cirq Lapopie, Najac, Bruniquel, Conques, Puycelsi and Belcastel, are within a short drive (St Cirq Lapopie being only ten minutes away). Each village is unique, with many featuring stunning architecture, narrow cobbled streets, amazing views, riverside settings, castles, churches and fortifications.
The area is home to a huge diversity of plants, insects and butterflies, reptiles, mammals and birds. The locality is particularly known for its orchids. There are over twenty species to be found in the Causses and many can be discovered at Les Teyssonnières and on walks in the surrounding area.
