On a stay with friends who own a second home in the Lot department, we fell in love with the area, its omnipresent nature and its remarkable architectural heritage. From our very first visit, we were amazed by this site, which was in ruins and overgrown with brambles. It was a place exuding exceptional serenity. After two years of work, we are proud to have brought this hamlet back to life while respecting its original character. We are also proud to have designed this place in line with our commitment to a contributing to a simpler, fairer, more tolerant and more caring society.
The estate has been renovated in keeping with the original architecture which is typical of the Causses du Quercy. No buildings have been added or extended. The gîtes and guest rooms are named after their original functions: the house, the sheepfold, the barn, the wine storehouse, the pigsty. All of the buildings are made of stone and the roofs are oak. Numerous low walls, also made of stone, mark the outside plots, once enclosures for farm animals.
Domaine Quercus is part of an ancient hamlet once occupied by farming families who cultivated vines and reared animals in modest, rustic living conditions. It was last occupied prior to its renovation in 2005.
Slow down! The peaceful, serene setting, far removed from all light and noise pollution, is ideal for relaxing in the heart of nature. Discover! The estate is located in the heart of the Causses du Quercy Regional Nature Park, with its natural, gastronomic and cultural treasures. Share! Celebrate life with your partner, family or friends. The estate stretches over three hectares in the middle of woods, where you can relax or get together around the swimming pool, the petanque ground or at the table, where you can sample local and organic produce. What makes us unique is our commitment to the environment. We are also an official bird refuge. The car park is covered by a solar panel shade system, making us self-sufficient in electricity.
The markets in Saint-Cernin, a small but very dynamic neighbouring village, or Marcilhac-sur-Célé, a charming village with a Tuesday night market. Discover the wines of Cahors and in particular the biodynamic vintages of Fabin Jouve and Clos Troteligotte. Visit the Pech Merle cave, decorated with original prehistoric paintings. Canoe or kayak down the small Célé river. Take a dip at the Sauliac-sur-Célé beach, with its small snack bar. Take the time to observe the exceptional starry skies in this region thanks to the very low level of visual pollution. We organise evenings with astronomers and have been lucky enough to observe Saturn on several occasions.
The estate has three gîtes. Each has its own private outdoor area with a dining area and sun loungers. The gîte "La maison" (the house), has a 70 m2 surface area on two floors, a large living room on the ground floor with a kitchen, lounge, dining area and bathroom. There are two bedrooms upstairs, one of which has two single beds that can be brought together to make a double bed. Adjoining this gîte is "Le chai” (the wine storehouse) guest room. The two spaces can accommodate seven people.
