  Being a spacious and single storey with only a few internal steps, Chez Nous is ideal for anyone with mild mobility issues and has quite the finest large sun terrace complemented with a substantial vine and wisteria clad arbour for shade.

Undoubtedly the sun terrace is the finest feature of Chez Nous, with plenty of outdoor furniture including sun loungers and sunshades enabling guests to make the most of the sun however they choose.  Shade is provided by a large wisteria and vine-clad arbour.

There are two options for the Swimming Pool. If Chez Nous is the only unit booked, Guests will normally share the large 12 x 8m swimming pool which is a short walk across the garden (see annotated plan)

If Chez Nous is booked with Maison de Ferme, or if Maison de Ferme is not booked, Guests will have the option of exclusive use of the 9x4m pool which is accessed by the rear garden.

There is a gently sloping landscaped garden of around 1ha which offers a number of quiet sunny and shady spaces for guests to escape to privacy as they wish.

Dausse (3km) has some shops and a boulangerie, and also one of the finest gastro restaurants in the area. For supermarket shopping, guests should head for Montaigu de Quercy (7km), or Villeneuve Sur Lot (13km) Please see the Area information above for additional details on local amenities.

Vieux Mirou is just off a road that runs between Penne d'Agenais and Montaigu de Quercy: Heading for Penne d'Agenais takes you to the banks of the River Lot and all the activities on the river such as fishing, canoeing and boat hire: Heading towards Montaigu de Quercy takes you into the heart of the rolling countryside of the Quercy with a very large range of crops and vegetables growing, alongside sunflowers, cereals and vines.

Much of the local produce can be bought at markets, and there are lists of the local markets on the Area information at the top of this page, along with other restaurant recommendations and wineries. The area to the east of Penne d'Agenais and along the River Lot is the heartland of the Cahors AOC with a large number of wineries offering tastings and direct sales of the delicious red and white wines.

For something curious, head across the river at Penne d'Agenais to find La Stelsia, a colourful park where you can freely wander around the manicured parkland, and enjoy excellent food and drink in the restaurants if you wish: If you fancy a testing crazy golf course, this is the place to go!

Heading to the north on the other side of the river you will find a number of castles: Biron and Bonaguil are the most complete, and both open to visitors, and you will find other ruins as you travel.

This is the country of bastide villages - fortified hilltop villages, and within easy reach of Vieux Mirou, you can wander the streets of Pujols. Lauzerte, Montaigu de Quercy, Tournon d'Agenais, Monflanquin and Villereal and marvel at the medieval timbered buildings that still survive today.

Historic Cahors is the gateway to cave country, and guests can visit a number of caves in the limestone area including Pech Merle, and a little further away the world-famous Lascaux cave paintings.
