After a half century of expatriation mostly in the Americas and Africa, studies abroad and a career as an executive for a Fortune 100 company, Jeannot Lorenz decided to retire in his native France and operate a property with 4 vacation rentals. This way he can remain active in a beautiful region with historical sites and great wine and cuisine.

Last house in the village surrounded by fields and a view of the Lot Valley and ridges. Six villages which have been awarded the much-coveted title One of the Most Beautiful Villages in France (Carennac, Loubressac, Autoire, St Cirq Lapopie, Capdenac le Haut and Cardaillac). Because their roofs of brown tiles, their ochre-coloured stone, their windows decorated with carvings or perhaps their square pigeon-towers give them exceptional character, these villages epitomise the essence of the Lot itself. Many others are more than worth a visit and, although they're all different, the attraction they have in common is unquestionably their charm. Canoe & kayaking, walks & hikes, rock climbing, cave diving, and cycling/scenic routes. There are several events and festivals between April and October. The region has been inhabited by man who left his marks 28,000 years ago with the breathtaking paintings in the Pech Merle caves.
