Perched on a craggy spur overlooking the Lot valley, Pasturat is a tiny tranquil village in the heart of the Quercy region in SW France, which has remained unspoilt for centuries.
The holiday accommodation (gite) occupies the ground floor of a converted stone barn, just above the village, with its own garden and private west-facing terrace. The gite enjoys the use of a 40 foot, solar-heated swimming pool, which is set in its own grounds, with fabulous views across the valley. Click here to enlarge in a new window

If you are on a high-speed Internet link, click here to view a video of the gite, made by one of our guests. The barn-conversion has preserved all the rustic charm of the original, but integrates a fitted oak kitchen with washing machine, microwave, ceramic hob & built-in oven, a dining area, and a lounge area with TV/VCR/DVD player & music-centre, and a library of english books and videos. The bathroom is equipped with a shower, and there are two bedrooms: one with a 5ft 3" double bed and the other with two 3ft single beds. The private terrace enjoys a superb view across the Lot valley.

Local shops are one mile away in the little town of St. Géry, just across the river, which has a small supermarket, a bakery, post-office, chemist, Bar/Restaurant and Sunday morning market. Click here for a map giving directions to local supermarkets.

Good local restaurants abound in the Quercy, which enjoys much the same climate and fine cuisine as the neighbouring Dordogne and Périgord region, but is less well-known.

Surrounded by magnificent scenery, a wealth of historic sites to explore and in one of THE gastronomic centres of France, what better place for a relaxing holiday?

Please read what previous guests think of the gite, our terms and conditions and check availability before booking.

A note about this site: You may already have noticed that clicking on a link in bold type in the text will over-write the window displaying the current page with a new page, while clicking on a link displayed in normal type will either change an image or text-area on the page you are viewing, or, like this - pool - will open a new window to display another page. Clicking on a photo on the site will normally enlarge it in some way, often in a new window. So you need to have pop-ups enabled to get the most out of the site.

Printing pages on this site: The gite contains a printed copy of the website (as well as lots of other documentation on the local area). If you want to print off any pages yourself, please check your page margin settings first. Most pages are printable as they appear; those that aren't sport a link to a printer-friendly version.
