'Laclavayrie', near St Céré - Sleeps 2 and 5+

Let the artist in you revel in this "away from the maddening crowd " bucolic Dordogne Valley countryside of the Lot.

My comfortable home nestles on a sunny hillside spot surrounded by "sound of music " panoramic views and is situated in a breathtakingly beautiful part of France that offers something for everyone, young, less young and especially the young at heart.

Situated in the small hamlet of Laclavayrie and just 3 miles from the medieval market town of St. Céré, my gites are close to the stunning Pilgrimage site of Rocamadour and the nearby deep, deep caves of Padirac will enthral you.

Everything for everyone from simply walking, to spending the day visiting the beautiful local bastide villages, and several of the listed Plus Beaux Villages...The Most Beautiful Villages in France.

Maybe an evening soaking up the delight of a high quality operatic performance in a nearby castle or browsing in and out of the many local fairs, markets, brocantes, artists workshops, exhibitions etc. will thrill and enchant you.

There are many small local lakes and riverside sites to cool off and especially near my gite, the very beautiful lake " Lac du Tolerme " with beaches, bathing, boating, waterslides, playground etc.
