L'Ancienne Cordonnerie is situated right in the heart of the lovely medieval village of Montcuq justsixty metres from the boulangerie yet in a delightfully picturesque and quiet corner of the old bourg. Dating back to the C15th, the apartment is on the first floor of an original half-timbered house built in the traditional Quercy style. During the C20th, the house was home and workshop to the shoemaker, the Cordonnier. The Quercy is in the heart of the beautiful and unspoilt Midi-Pyrénées. The area is renowned for its high quality of gastronomic cuisine and the celebrated 'Black Wine of Cahors'. The valley of the Lot is about 20 minutes drive away and offers swimming, boating, canoeing, fishing and pleasure trips, interesting scenery and many historic places to visit ... not forgetting the many vineyards to be researched! Cahors itself is a fascinating town with museums, ancient churches and Roman remains and many events throughout the year, including the Cahors Blues Festival.

Further details for this holiday apartment rental in Montcuq, France

Leisure activities: The countryside around Montcuq is delightful. If you enjoy walking or cycling, many routes are marked and, during the summer season, some of the walks are guided. There are riding schools and stables nearby and golf at the Rouscous Golf Club. During the summer, the outdoor swimming pool and tennis courts are open and, for enthusiasts, the Plan d'Eau offers a beach and swimming from Easter to September. Throughout the summer season there are fêtes, musical events, antiques fairs and the busy Sunday Market which fills the main street and boulodrome. The valley of the Lot is about 20 minutes drive away and offers swimming, boating, canoeing, fishing and pleasure trips, interesting scenery and many historic places to visit ... not forgetting the many vineyards to be researched! Cahors itself is a fascinating town with museums, ancient churches and Roman remains . It is also home to one of the most beautiful bridges in France, le Pont Valentré.

The village of Montcuq: Montcuq is a popular holiday destination. A pretty and historic rural town with its roots in the C11th and C12th, Montcuq provides a delightful setting for a holiday of discovery of the Quercy Blanc. The oak woodlands and beautiful limestone scenery give the area its name: quercus is the Latin for oak. The town's landmark is theTour (Keep) of the original fortifications and within the old part of the town there are the many 'ruelles' of the old castle with their C14th-C16th half-timbered houses, traces of C11th-C13th mullions and arches, beautifully proportioned C15th-C18th buildings and even a few traces of much older occupation!

There are banks and all the shops you need for your everyday purchases as well as cafés and restaurants offering a range of local specialities and lighter snacks just a step away from the gîte. The celebrated Sunday market is open all year round and is recommended for organic food and drink and, after your shopping, a relaxing apéritif in the sun!

Montcuq is ideally situated for exploring the Midi-Pyrenées. Besides the many beautiful towns and villages of the Quercy Blanc, the Cité Rose of Toulouse is easily accessible by train or road. A 2.5 hour drive will take you to the Mediterranean coast, into the mountains and to Bordeaux and the Arcachon coast.

Great welcome

Review Submitted: July 23, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
The apartment is charming, with its beams and bare stone walls, as well as feeling cosy and homely. It has plenty of character and a modern kitchen and bathroom. It is extremely well equipped - the best self catering place I have come across, and there was a very generous starter pack of food. Mo and Mark made us most welcome, and treated us to a lovely meal at their house. Apart from being very interesting people, they have clearly put a great deal of thought into running the gite.
The village is lovely, with all the amenities you would want, and the countryside is beautiful. There are lots of pretty villages to visit and Cahors is not far and well worth a visit.
Altogether, we enjoyed our stay very much and would not hesitate to return.

Owner's Response: Ann and Malcolm are a delightful, friendly couple who arrived in time for the Cahors Blues Festival and the fete for Bastille Day in the village. Would your photos have been better with that new D700?!

Thanks also for leaving the apartment in such lovely condition and we hope to see you again.

Superb location and hospitality

Review Submitted: October 12, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
The apartment exceeded our expectations and proved to be an exceptional base for our touring holiday of Quercy Blanc. Mo & Mark (the owners) were extremely welcoming and hospital without being intrusive, and provided sound advice for places to visit and restaurants to try. The apartment was ideal for 3, very clean and well equipped, although the steps up to this first floor apartment might be challenging to the less active. It's location in the centre of the medieval village of Montcuq was great - near the shops, cafes and tourist atrractions (a trip up La Tour not to be missed), but none the less quiet. The Sunday market was brilliant! Me and my wife and daughter (17) had a fantastic week in this very beautiful part of France and would highly recommend it and the apartment.

Owner's Response: It was our pleasure to welcome you to Montcuq and l'Ancienne Cordonnerie and we're so pleased that "Bethany's Room" was such a success! We hope to see you again in the future.
