Learning how to observe during an original holiday in the Lot

Learning how to observe during an original holiday in the Lot

Far from the tumult and tensions of the cities, our beautiful region helps learning again how to observe the world around us, such as watching the deer down the field, listening to the owl in the night, discovering the medieval hamlet lost at the end of a road, exploring the creek valley with its flora and fauna, finding the castle in the middle of a forest far off the tourist guides or the small chapel with it’s unexpected treasure …

Original holiday : Read a map to find secret spots

In the age of GPS, why not learn how to read a detailed map? Leaving your unusual accommodation set off on your adventure following our indications to discover a mansion with two towers and a dovecote overlooking the valley of Montcuq, or farther an excellently renovated small hamlet with a beautiful view over Lauzerte. You’re not a fan of private built heritage, you would rather show your children medieval castles, then the Lot and its 300 medieval buildings will certainly please you. However, feel free to ask us for itinerary advice because the Lot is a hidden and discrete country.

When medieval means festival  

As previously also announced, the Medieval Festival of Gourdon early August is a must if your children love knights. And even more, “Durandal” a new summer event  began near Rocamadour, offering children a knights school on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 11 am, and an incredible show with horses and knights, all on a very interesting educational background at 15h and 17h except Saturdays. Quick itinerary reminder, from your unusual holiday rental at les Hauts d’Albas, Rocamadour is only 1 hour drive (by motorway). Besides we should not forget a humbler place yet managed with passion, located past Montcuq, only 20 minutes from your original gite : Castel des Chevaliers.

Observe all around you right from your modern yurt

Sometimes one must not go very far to rejoice faced with a mother deer and her baby quietly grazing only a few meters from the wooden terrace of your modern yurt when you awake. Just as the terrace of the outdoor pool, a perfect observatory overlooking two valleys where deer, foxes, hawks, wild boars and hares converge. For animal lovers, this is the place. When you feel somewhat more courageous you’ll take your walking shoes and leave right from your unusual accommodation on the trails of the Quercy and will be surprised by the diversity of landscapes and views on the Lot, not to mention the flora fans for whom each ditch means a multitude of flowers. Lastly starry heavens lovers will be delighted, looking up from their unusual accommodation terrace to discover a starry night sky without any light pollution, for example, look at the pictures of Milky Way nights on our Facebook page where you will discover photographic masterpieces, work of an astro-physician friend of ours.
