You enter Cahors along a road encrusted with car showrooms. After 2 roundabouts, the road curves to the right to a set of lights. Follow the main road over the bridge to the left (Pont Louis Phillippe) to cross the Lot just after the lights. There is a statue of the virgin looking uncannily like Queen Victoria on your right as you swing left over the river. You'll come to a roundabout with a fountain in the middle: turn RIGHT, keeping the river on your right. Go through a couple of sets of lights, and, after a longish jaunt along the river bank, you come to a roundabout, where you go straight on, following signs for AURILLAC and FIGEAC, on the D653. Follow the road (which keeps crossing and re-crossing a little railway line) to take you through Laroque des Arcs, Lamagdelaine and Savanac (Blink and you miss it..!) At around 15 km. out of Cahors, you enter VERS. Shortly after entering the village, you will see a "joke" roundabout painted on the road, in front of a hotel called "Les Chalets". Take the RIGHT fork, following signs for St. CIRQ LAPOPIE, and St GERY on the D662. The road follows the river Lot (on your right) and, 5km further on, you enter St GERY. |
From St. Géry to PasturatGo through ST. GERY, cross the railway line, and then, just before a Renault Garage on the right, called the Garage Charazac, turn RIGHT, to cross the river Lot, following signs for LALBENQUE and LIMOGNE on the D10. Immediately after the bridge, turn RIGHT again (signpost ARCAMBAL & PASTURAT), to climb up to PASTURAT. On entering the village, follow the road round to the LEFT (sign ARCAMBAL) up to the church. Cross the sloping square beside the church, change down and hurl yourself round three hairpin turns - one, to the right, leaving the square, then to the left and then to the right again. Immediately after this last turn you will see our house on the right, with a set of wrought iron gates painted a curious shade of lilac. If you overshoot, you will climb the hill and see the pool on the left. The gite is behind the house, with a parking spot just behind our garage. From here you can see the gite's terrace below you. Please call into the house for the keys. |
