The farmhouse is located in the village of Touffailles.
Touffailles is a pretty little village set amongst the rolling hills between the
larger villages of Lauzerte and Montaigu de Quercy. This striking agricultural
area bordered by the River Lot (to the North) and the River Garonne (to the
South) provides an ever changing backdrop of fruit trees, sunflowers, cereals,
melons, vines and cattle.
Visitors staying at Farmhouse near Lauzerte can take the opportunity to visit many attractive places in the area. Amongst the favourites are Cahors, Agen, Montauban, Villeneurve-sur-Lot, Puy L’Eveque, Montcuq, Moissac, Auvillar, Valance, Tournon D’Agenais, Penne D’Agenais, Castlesarrasin, Cirq Lapopie, Lauzerte, Montjoi, Brassac, Beauville, Bourg de Visa, Montaigu de Quercy, Miramont de Quercy, Castlesagrat, St Nicholas de Grave, Fummel, Chateau de Bonaguil, Puymirol and further afield the Millau Bridge, Sarlat, Bergerac, Toulouse, and Albi.
We hope that we can provide you with a good value base for your holiday, whether you want a lazy time with a book and a glass of wine, a walking adventure, to sit and paint or a chance to tour the local medieval villages and local markets. There is plenty to do without leaving the property, but when (or if) you are wanting to venture further we are on hand to help you with the information you will need.
