There is wifi internet throughout house with plenty of discreet work spaces for the traveler who has to continue to communicate in the fast paced world they have nearly left behind.
The kitchen is extremely well stocked, worthy of the best culinary chefs. The rustic dining table next to the wood burning stove offers the perfect spot to enjoy all the local delicacies from the various village markets. Please note..A basket of basic groceries can be provided for families arriving late in the day, so they can relax upon arrival without having to shop.
Caylus is just 10 minutes away, and has a couple of excellent boulangeries, two fabulous butchers, two pizzerias, two grocery stores, pharmacy and tabac. There are also a number of good bars, and a renowned restaurant in the local 2 star hotel “La Renaissance”. Medieval Saint Antonin set on the river Aveyron, complete with kayaks for rent, and with its famous Sunday market, is only 20 mins away.
Famed picturesque bastide villages of Cordes sur Ciel, Narjac and Saint-Cirq-Lapopie are a 40 mins drive. Therefore, you are centrally placed to visit some of the most beautiful villages in France, or do absolutely nothing but read a book by the pool!
CAYLUS
The medieval village of Caylus nestles in the beautiful Bonnette Valley on the border between Quercy and Rouergue. It is a thriving village with boulangeries, butchers, small supermarkets, bars and restaurants, so croissants for breakfast are within easy reach.
This region features scrub-oak forests, rolling hills, spectacular river gorges and valleys, medieval bastide hilltop towns, amazingly preserved castles, warm and friendly people in local villages each with its own vibrant weekly farmers market. Predominantly a farming area, the fruit and vegetables are outstanding as is the local wine, duck and goats cheese. St Antonin Noble Val, situated in the dramatic Aveyron Gorge, is only a short drive away where you can go kayaking, canoeing, rock climbing and cycling or simply just enjoy wandering around the famous Sunday morning market.
There are an abundance of places to visit within very easy reach such as Cahors, Montauban, Albi, Corde-sur-Ciel, Narjac and Toulouse, France's fourth largest city.
For those who like driving, the Mediterranean or Pyrenees are both within easy reach. Finally, don’t forget the wine. “Le Pigeonnier” is situated between the wine producing regions of Gaillac and Quercy and a visit to the vineyards is recommended.
