Covering the regions of Occitanie and Nouvelle Acquitaine in South West France, HL Holidays (formerly Halcyon Leisure) offer a selection of holiday rental properties for parties of all sizes. Most properties are in the area where the départements of Lot, Lot-et-Garonne and Tarn-et-Garonne meet near Montaigu de Quercy - Historically the areas known as Quercy Blanc and Périgord Noir.
Our clients, both Owners and Guests, receive a highly personal service based on over a quarter of a century's experience with all properties visited by all staff, and annual visits a priority. with over 60% of HL Holidays' guests being returning customers.
Properties include Chateaux, Manoirs and Maisons de Maitre, along with farmhouses, village houses and apartments, with facilities at many suitable for all ages. Most of our vacation rental properties have swimming pools, and all are compliant with the French legislation.
The area is one of peaceful rolling countryside, with small villages and towns along quiet country roads: Medieval hilltop villages such as Lauzerte and Penne d'Agenais dot the skyline. Acres of sunflowers grow alongside vines, vegetables and other crops, and busy markets in the villages and towns act as direct outlets for growers and producers. The area is noted for its Cahors wines, with many wineries open for tastings and direct sales.
A little extra travel takes you to the major cities of Toulouse and Bordeaux or the spectacular beauty of the Aveyron Gorge and the neolithic landscape between the Lot and Dordogne rivers north of Cahors.
Your selection of properties can be narrowed down using the filters on the Availability Search and Map Search pages, or alternatively, contact us with details of your party, preferred dates and criteria and we will send a shortlist of suitable properties as soon as possible.
