The "Gite at Marcilhac" is recently renovated and built in traditional Quercy stone. It is located in the monument town of Marcilhac-sur-Célé in the beautiful Célé River Valley. Marcilhac is on the secondary route to Santiago de Campostela. Situated in the Parc naturel régional des Causses du Quercy, this is an area of outstanding natural beauty, rich in history and architecture.
The bedroom, with a view over the town and the limestone cliffs, has a double bed. The bathroom is fitted with a bath/shower, toilet and washbasin. The fitted kitchen is well equipped and the terra cotta tiled sitting room is also supplied with a CD player and reading material. The private courtyard/garden has a barbecue and garden furniture for outdoor eating. The Célé River is less than 100 metres away where one can
have picnics or go swimming. A 12-minute drive from Marcilhac takes you
to Cajarc, the closest commercial town, with its own miniature Pompidou
art centre. It has a municipal swimming pool, various good restaurants,
and a pretty waterfront from where one can take boat trips up the river. Figeac, less than half an hour's drive away, is an old and interesting market town, with medieval streets, squares, many well-restored buildings and stylish modern shops. It has a good hypermarket nearby. There is excellent walking, varying from Grandes Randonées forming part of the ancient pilgrim route to Santiago de Campostella, to smaller tracks and footpaths. Cycling offers another way to explore. Bikes can be hired inexpensively in Cajarc. You can also hire canoes and kayaks on both the Célé and the Lot, and there is horse riding at various nearby centres. Marcilhac is the ideal base from which to explore the Célé and Lot valleys, with the following sites and attractions within easy reach: -Rocamadour, St. Cirq Lapopie, Cahors and the winelands, Gouffre de Padirac, Cuzals, Gramat, Conques, Albi, Cordes, and the Aveyron Gorge.
Prices are per week in £GBP (£Sterling).
