Grange d'Avoine is in a tiny off-road hamlet about 8km from Montaigu de Quercy and Roquecor. Quiet roads and countryside make for excellent cycling and walking expeditions.
The countryside has a great selection of historic attractions nearby, with several medieval hilltop villages nearby, and the UNESCO World Heritage site at Moissac where the Abbey of St Peter and its cloisters have been carefully renovated.
This area of France is renowned for the production of quality fruit, vegetables and other foods, and besides the usual sunflower and cereal crops, you will find nuts, melons, apples, pears, plums, apricots and field-scale vegetables being grown. Many of these find their way to the weekly markets held in towns nearby on every day of the week, or to the evening Marchés Gourmands held in the summer months when all come to town to congregate and eat and enjoy entertainment. A full list of markets can be found in the Area information.
The River Lot provides plenty of opportunity for water-based activities with fishing, canoeing, boat trips and more available. To the north of the river Lot, the hills of the Périgord Noir rise, with castles such as Biron to explore.
This part of the River Lot is home to the Cahors AOC wine-producing region, with many wineries open for tasting and direct purchase: The Vallée du Lot et Vignoble website has much information on this.
There are tennis courts for hire at Montaigu de Quercy, and there is also a water park 'Montaigu Plage' with a beach area and lifeguard patrolled swimming available. Boats, pedalos and a tennis court are also available there.
However, many will prefer to enjoy the peace of the countryside and relax by the pool and in the shade at Grange d'Avoine......
