Location of the Villa - Paillas:
Paillas is situated in Valprionde, in the department of Lot adjacent to the Lot et Garonne and Tarn et Garonne. Due to Paillas' location in between three departments, there are many markets going on in the proximity of the farmhouse, on most days of the week, as well as village festivals and exhibitions and antique markets in three departments. The Lot department, in the north of the Midi-Pyrenees, makes up much of the western part of the Massif Central mountain range. The department is largely untouched with historical gems hidden among its fantastic landscapes.Cahors is the department capital. There is a great deal of spectacular medieval architecture on display in Cahors, both in its buildings and in the wonderfully preserved bridges that cross its rivers. The Parc Naturel Regional des Causses covers a large proportion of the department. St Cirq Lapopie is a village not to be missed, perched on the edge of a cliff overhanging the Lot valley. Rocamadour is also not to be missed.

Swimming, golf, hiking, mountain biking, riding tennis etc. kayaking on the Lot and a boat excursion.
