Chambres d’Hôtes
|
 La Galerie is a delightful chambres d’hôtes, situated between the historic towns of Cahors and Sarlat, and the Lot and Dordogne valleys, just outside the pretty village of Catus in the Midi-Pyrénées, southwest France. The Lot is one of the most peaceful,
unspoilt departments in France, with some wonderful
sites to explore:
Rocamadour, Saint Cirq-Lapopie and many prehistoric caves. And close by the Dordogne with many wonderful chateaux and historic bastide towns.
The luxurious chambres d'hôtes,
bed and breakfast is set in two hectares of gardens
and tranquil wooded grounds.
La Galerie is set in a peaceful, tranquil countryside location, and is the ideal place to relax and to rejuvenate. La Galerie is the perfect place to escape from the stresses of modern life and is ideal for couples. There are seats positioned in secluded areas around the gardens for quiet meditation or reading. Or simply rest on the sun beds around the peaceful swimming pool. La Galerie is not suitable for families with young children as most of our guests come to La Galerie for tranquillity and relaxation.
--- Heated Swimming Pool ---
La Galerie has a large 12 x 6 metre, heated, salt-water swimming pool with sun terrace.
For clients who like to keep in contact via e-mail and wish to access the Internet during their stay, we are able to offer a free WiFi Internet broadband wireless service. This service is available to clients who arrive equipped with their own portable wireless laptop, and allows access to the Internet while at La Galerie.
All the bedrooms have been stylishly and tastefully furnished, with private, en-suite bathrooms with showers. Each bedroom has a comfortable sitting area with French television and English satellite television and all rooms have their own independent access.
Breakfast is served in the delightful gallery, full of wonderful paintings by local artists.
The continental buffet breakfast includes croissants and bread, cold meats and cheese, cereals and yoghurts, jams and honey, coffee or a selection of teas, and seasonal fresh fruit of the region.
There are also many good local restaurants and "Bonnes Tables du Lot" close to La Galerie.
In the close by village of Catus is the local restaurant L’Auberge serving good regional cuisine. In the neighbouring village of St.Medard is probably the best restaurant of the region; Restaurant Le Gindreau for traditional and inventive gourmet cuisine. In the nearby village of Les Arques is the hugely popular La Recreation made famous not only by its fabulous menu but also by its story being told in the book; ”From here, you can’t see Paris” by Michael Sanders.
The location of La Galerie makes it the perfect base for visiting the wonderful sights of this sparsely populated region of southwest France, with beautiful natural scenery and medieval architecture. One of the lowest polluted regions of France, with an abundance of lichen found growing on the barks of the French oaks and the many other tree species in the woodland throughout the pure air of the Lot.
 The unspoilt, beautiful, Lot, is very popular with people searching for their own idyllic little piece of France and so we can arrange appointments with experienced local estate agents covering a large area of the Lot and Dordogne, making the search more enjoyable.
La Galerie is the perfect place for restful, tranquil holidays, relaxing short breaks and long weekends.
