Sommerhus i Catus

Du har ikke travlt med et hus som dette på det franske landskab! Arkitektdesignet, så en meget moderne levende stil. Meget lys, rummelig og fuldstændig løsrevet på en bakket, skovklok med næsten 1,5ha. En stor have og en 48m2 swimmingpool fuldføre billedet. Du går ind gennem en hall, der fører direkte ind i det åbne køkken (med spiseplads) og stort opholdsstue. Du vil blive forbløffet over rummets effekt i dette rum, den store pejs og den mezzanin ovenpå er slående. Du kan træde lige ud på terrassen til poolen, hvor du finder forskellige steder at sidde og nyde dig selv. Der er også et komfortabelt soveværelse med dobbeltseng i stueetagen med et tilstødende badeværelse (bruser, håndvask , toilet) og opbevaringsplads. Den øverste etage indeholder yderligere tre soveværelser, to singler og en dobbeltseng på mezzaninen, og et rummeligt badeværelse med badekar, separat bruser og toilet. De bemærkelsesværdige byer St. Cirq Lapopie, Rocamadour, Gourdon, Cabrerets (med sine huler), Puy L "Eveque, Domme, etc., er alle inden for en halv times rækkevidde. Cahors er en femten minutters kørsel fra huset . Denne smukke region byder på masser af valg af restauranter, maleriske markeder og loppemarkeder samt fritids- og sports muligheder.

The Lot is one of France’s least populated departments. Among the French it is well known for its unspoiled beauty and excellent local cuisine. Situated at a considerable distance from the tempering influence of the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, winters can be cold and summers hot and dry. By the end of summer with the majority of tourists gone, September is considered, by some, the most pleasant month of the year. Traditionally the Lot has been a favourite destination for those who prefer privacy, beauty and excellent food to discos and mass amusement. We have had the good fortune of living here for almost thirty years. As a foretaste of what to look forward to, here are some tips: If time permits (and it should!) never drive straight to your destination but lose yourself in the small by-roads: you will be delighted by the beauty and variation of landscape and architecture and, if lost, your GPS will guide you to where you ultimately wanted to go. Cahors (about fifteen minutes from Boissieres), as the capital of the department, provides all necessary needs and services, including direct train connections to Paris and Toulouse. It is a beautiful, intimate town, breathing the ambiance and allure of the Midi. Not to be missed are its colourful market and regular brocantes and antique shows. Some of France’s major tourist sites are within easy reach; if they turn out to be too crowded just the trip getting there will have been worthwhile. Whereas our house is situated in the Quercy Noir, the region south of Cahors is called the Quercy Blanc – with good reason. The two regions are very different in color, landscape and architecture: one of our favourite Sunday outings is a trip to Montcuq with its busy market and lively terraces. The food enthousiast has the choice of a wide range of excellent (and mostly very affordable) restaurants – from the simple auberge, mainly offering the local cuisine, to the sophisticated Michelin starred ones ( le Gindreau**, so to say around the corner from us, just got its second star).
