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 English TV (via satellite), a
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.
