Enquire nowThe Aquitaine / Dordogne / Lot et Garonne region
Lot et Garonne is a department of the region of Aquitaine in southwest France, just south of the Dordogne.
The Lot valley is one of the most fertile areas in France with vineyards, farms and orchards. The area is responsible for the production of most of the plums used in the region's most famous product, Pruneaux D'Agen. This is essentially dried plums using the same process as for dried apricots.
The climate is ideal ,for sunbathing by the pool, picnics in the grounds and BBQs.
The landscape varies from rolling hills to the fertile valley floors. Running through the valleys are rivers bordered by picturesque Bastide towns, many worth visiting.
The Villeneuve Sur Lot area
Activities within easy reach of Aquitaine Gites in France include the more relaxing fishing, horseriding, golf, hot air ballooning and evening markets with entertainment.
If you feel more energetic why not try canoeing, kayaking, hover boats, cycling, go-karting or the water theme park. If you don't suffer from vertigo try the tree top park with activities for children as young as three. We also have a local tenpin bowling alley with pool tables.
The more adventurous amongst you might like to try microlighting with flights available over the apartments.
Those interested in the local food and wine will not be disappointed. There are a number of local farms which run organised tours and tastings including honey, fruit, nut and goat farms. If the farm is not for you there are numerous markets to stroll around, almost one for every day of the week in peak season.
Our local vineyard is only 5 minutes away with a multi language signposted tour of the vineyard explaining what happens to the vines through the seasons.
There are also several towns and villages of interest in the area including Pujols with its vantage point on top of a hill overlooking the Lot valley. It has several excellent restaurants, shops and an art gallery.
Nerac, which is a little further afield, is worth a visit with Henry IV's chateaux and extensive public park with the river Baise running through it. Why not take a picnic and watch the riverboats pass by. Not far from here you can see where the river gets its other name 'the river of steps' with a long run of locks.

A fantatic holiday with lots to offer. There was always something for everyday...... to relax we enjoyed days in the sunshine around the pool, fishing or just relaxing with our wine! But when we fancied something a little more energetic we spent our days, horse riding, kayaking, canooing or just taking a motor boat along the Lot. Villeneurve Sur Lot offered some good restraurants and the picturereque village of Pujols offered some beautiful scenery and medieval buildings, Morning markets and wonderful hospitality from Andrew and his father, for whom nothing was too much trouble, completed this great holiday. We would certainly go again! |
