Location

The property is located just off a small rural road, near the village of Roquecor, one of the region’s famous "perched" stone villages, almost equidistant from Agen and Villeneuve-sur-Lot.

Roquecor holds the prestigious village fleurie designation. It was constructed on a hillside for security reasons during the middle ages - a turbulent period in this part of France.

Everyday grocery shopping can be done in the small grocery store in the village. Roquecor also has a welcoming café/restaurant and a special market every Sunday off the main square. 7 km away, the larger town of Montaigu de Quercy has a broader range of shops and services and hosts a lively market every Saturday, selling a wide range of produce including fresh oysters and fish.

Markets are found every day of the week within a short drive, selling fresh and tempting regional produce like fois gras, wild rabbit, locally raised duck and lamb, truffles, sweet tomatoes, garlic sprouts and fraises de bois. Events take place regularly in Roquecor and all the nearby towns and villages, especially during the summer - including brocantes, art exhibitions and concerts from jazz, son-et-lumière to opera.

Each village celebrates its history in its own way, perhaps with a honey market or a bread baking fair in the medieval town oven. Antique buffs will discover extensive fairs throughout the year. For children, traveling circuses and fun-fairs are regular visitors. There are several public tennis courts and golf courses within a half hour’s drive.

For gastronomes, Aubergade in Puymerol, awarded three Michelin rosettes, is a memorable experience. The chef, Michel Trama, also offers specialized cooking courses. There are many one and two rosette restaurants featuring new young chefs within a ten to thirty minute radius and numerous ferme-auberges where guests can savour local specialties such as magret de canard, grilled on an open wood fire.

This region of France is steeped in prehistoric and medieval history. Cave paintings such as those at Lascaux in the Dordogne and Pech Merle on the other side of Cahors, are less than an hour away. Medieval fortifications, castles and perched villages are everywhere including Beauville, Bourg de Visa, Lauzerte, Penne d’Agenais and Montcuq.

Half an hour’s drive away is the monastery and magnificently carved cloisters of Moissac, part of the medieval pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela. A range of cultural activities and festivals occur throughout the year especially in the larger towns of Cahors, Toulouse and Rocamadour.

Food lovers will also appreciate the regional French cuisine which stresses freshness and quality of local produce. In the Saturday market of Montaigu, the fish arrives practically swimming from the Atlantic only an hour away.

Don't forget cêpes and black truffles, according to the season. The weather in the Quercy region is usually hot and dry during the summer with late sunsets. Winters are generally mild with lunches outside on occasion in the sun.
