Monflanquin is a beautiful medieval hilltop `bastide` village, situated some 40k south of Bergerac. It is classified as `L`un des plus beax villages de France` and voted `one of the top 10 villages of France` by the Daily Telegraph travel writers. The local economy is essentially agricultural, with farmers growing large quantities of maize and sunflowers. The climate also favours the growing of grapes, strawberries, melons, fruits, nuts and tomatoes. The gently rolling countryside is dotted with chateaux and 13th. century `bastide` hilltop villages. The Lot et Garonne, our department, is just south of the Dordogne, and to the west of the Lot, so is ideal for the exploration of all these river valleys, rich in history and beautiful scenery. It really is a historical treat. Ideally situated for visits to : Bergerac, Monpazier, Isisgeac, St. Emilion, Cahors, Domme etc.

Monflanquin
This is a beautiful mediaeval hilltop `bastide` village, classified as `l`un des plus beaux villages de France` and elected as one of the top 10 villages of France by the Daily Telegraph travel writers. When one sees the beautiful, vaulted archways surrounding the central square, one can understand why. It is a thriving village supporting all the required services - bank, post office, doctors, butcher, bakers, bars and a wide choice of restaurants. There is also a good sized `casino` supermarket.
Exploring
For those who like to explore, then day visits to Cahors, Bergerac, Issigeac, Monpazier, Domme, Les Eyzies and St. Emilion are all possible. Our colourful local markets are always worth a visit.
Activities
These include tennis, golf, cycling, walking, horse riding and canoeing - not forgetting the local Boules area. If all this is too much, then simply do what most of our visitors do - just relax by the pool.... `Volets Bleus` is the very private wing of our own home. On the 1.5 acre site, is a further cottage with 2 bedrooms and two bathrooms. Visitors share the 11 by 5 m. pool. The tiled terrace is large, so there is plenty of room. Each property has its own terrace, which is totally private, ensuring our visitors total peace and quiet. We have lived here for almost 20 years, so know the area and the local people well. Holiday makers will receive a friendly welcome. For those looking to buy property or land, and to renovate or build from scratch, I can offer help, advice and services.

This really is a great place to stay, with excellent accommodation in such a lovely setting.
Many thanks to Pat and Pryce for being such very kind hosts, and for letting us share your lovely home.
Excellent accommodation. Will be back next year - hopefully for longer.
We were impressed by the beautiful flowers and the vegetable garden. The spacious and comfortable accommodation .
A great holiday & very comfortable accommodation.
Do enjoy every minute of your holiday and don`t be surprised if you find yourself planning your next trip.
There is something special about the size and atmosphere of Monflanquin.
Some highlights: Sunsets down the Chemin de Feugnes. Lazy afternoons by the pool. Countryside views from the gorgeous garden. Pat and Pryce`s hospitality. Monflanquin`s charm and liveliness. Tout e`tait magnifique!
Back again after seven years to this wonderful place, Monflanquin.
I think you could say we LOVE the place. I`ll be back!
