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.

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.

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.
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.
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, you are recommended to 'Print Preview' first, and adjust your printer page margins if required.
Most pages are printable as they appear; those that aren't sport a link to a printer-friendly version - look out for the
little printer icon.
