Our gite "La Terrasse" is located at Les Teyssonnières in the Causses du Quercy Regional Park. Set in a private forest , it is a peaceful location, close to nature, but with beautiful places, such as the medieval village of St Cirq Lapopie which is 10 minutes away. The property, with its oak woodland and meadows, is a haven for wildlife with numerous species of orchid, butterflies, birds and mammals. Our accommodation occupies part of the first floor of our old barn. Comprising an open plan bedroom/sitting area with kitchenette and separate wc and shower rooms, La Terrasse is ideal for couples with its double bed, or can be configured as a twin. - Fully-equipped kitchenette with induction hob, extractor, fridge freezer, microwave/combination oven and grill. - Air conditioning/heating. - Free and fast fibre Wi-Fi. - 32 inch HDTV with UK Freesat or French terrestrial channels. - Blu-ray / DVD Player. - Google Home Speaker with Bluetooth connectivity. - Large under-bed storage area for luggage. French doors lead onto a large decked terrace with panoramic views over the surrounding woodland. The gite is one of two at Les Teyssonnières. A secluded swimming pool and terrace are available for guests to use. Electric vehicle charging is available on site.

Myself and my husband relocated to France from the UK in early 2019. We now provide holiday accommodation and wildlife photography / nature watching opportunities from our former farm 'Les Teyssonnières' in the Lot. We love the area, with its climate, natural beauty and attractions, whether visiting medieval villages or canoeing on the rivers, there is always something to do. While our property is secluded and private, it is just a couple of minutes drive (or 20 minutes walk) from the village of Concots. We have three great restaurants in the locality including Lou Bourdie (which was featured on Jamie Oliver's TV show about the area) and the award-winning L'Esprit du Causse. We have carefully designed our accommodation to be as comfortable and practical as possible and the large outdoor terrace gives excellent views of the woodland which surrounds the property.

Our local village, Concots, is just 2km away and has two excellent restaurants, a post office and a boulangerie. A local produce market takes place every Sunday morning in the square outside the church. The medieval city of Cahors is just a 30 minute drive to the west. Within an hour of the gite by car you can reach a number of beautiful towns and villages which are fantastic locations for photography, shopping, food and sightseeing. Several of ‘Les Plus Beaux Villages de France’ – the 100 most beautiful villages in France, including St Cirq Lapopie, Najac, Bruniquel, Conques, Puycelsi and Belcastel, are within a short drive (St Cirq Lapopie being only ten minutes away). Each village is unique, with many featuring stunning architecture, narrow cobbled streets, amazing views, riverside settings, castles, churches and fortifications. The area is home to a huge diversity of plants, insects and butterflies, reptiles, mammals and birds. The locality is particularly known for its orchids. There are over twenty species to be found in the Causses and many can be discovered at Les Teyssonnières and on walks in the surrounding area.
