This comfortable holiday home for 8 people plus 1 baby ( suitable for 2 families) is very well suited for those who like tranquility and space (with or without children) and who want to experience the real French life!
The house has an authentic spacious living room with huge fire place. In spring and autumn you can relax with a book or a glass of wine in front of the fire place.

Reviews
Wimke van Reenen from Zeist,
Mas de l'Artillou is een fantástische plek! Een prachtig huis, van alle gemakken voorzien, middenin de natuur. Het huis is erg sfeervol ingericht, de keuken meer dan compleet. De slaapkamers zijn lekker ruim en voorzien van goede bedden én airco. Perfect. We hebben met onze kinderen van 9 en 13 jaar oud heel erg genoten. Van de rust en de stilte. De mooie grote tuin. Van de vogels, vlinders en konijntjes in de tuin. Het prachtige zwembad. En natuurlijk van de mooie omgeving. De Lot is een mooie regio, en lang niet zo druk als bijvoorbeeld de Ardèche. Je moet overal wel even voor rijden, maar er is veel te doen. Aanraders: Rocamadour, St Cirq Lapopie, Cahors, Figeac, de grotten van Padirac, dierentuin in Gramat, zwemmen en kanoën in de Lot of Célé, markten en marche gourmandes. Sla een lunch in de plaatselijke Auberge Beauville ook zeker niet over. Kortom, aanrader!
Comment from Sonja Rijsewijk - Schaap
Dankjewel voor je mooie bericht Wimke. Zo zie je maar weer, zelfs drie weken is te kort om al het moois bij ons te ontdekken. Wie weet...tot ziens op Mas de l'Artillou. Hartelijke groet van ons en nogmaals dank voor jullie verblijf op Mas de l'Artillou.

Wij hebben een heerlijke vakantie gehad en genoten van ons verblijf in Mas de l'Artillou. Het is een prachtige plek, met een fantastische buitenruimte, waardoor je altijd een plekje met schaduw vindt. Ook het klimaat is ons goed bevallen in de Lot, niet te heet. Het heerlijke grote zwembad hebben we veel gebruikt. De grote woonkeuken is van alle gemakken voorzien.
Marieke from Zwolle,
Wij hebben genoten van de week die wij in jullie prachtige huis hebben mogen doorbrengen. Leuk om te lezen dat de Mas al zo lang in de familie is.
Hartelijk dank ook voor het kaartje en de fles wijn!
Restaurants, food & wine
This region is well known for it culinairy specialties and Cahors wines. Famous are the Foie Gras, Magret de canard, truffles and saffron and of course Cabecou or Rocamadour cheese. The area has many small restaurants in which you eat really well for relatively little money.
Activities
There is plenty to do in the area for both the active holiday maker as the culinairy enthousiast.
Close to the gite is the starting point for several walks. There is a tenniscourt in the village for which a membership is available.
Horse riding at 15 kms and golf at 25 kms.
Swimming can be done in the rivers Lot, Dordogne and Céle. It is also possible to rent canoes here. Highly recommended.
During the summer months there are country fairs and the well known “vide greniers” en “brocantes”(car boot sales/flea markets) to visit.
Rocamadour is a well known tourist attraction with many sights and activities for young and old.
And don't forget St Cirq Lapopie, well known for its beautiful location raised above the river Lot. This medieval town is build against a steep rock wall at 390m height. Further more there are the caves of Padirac and Peche Merle, the open air museum of Cuzals with its many activities or step aboard the steam train with the children in Martel.
