Lafage is a charming traditional stone farmhouse built over a vaulted cellar in a secluded position and approached up a long drive. The farmhouse nestles in a south-facing hillside and is surrounded by twelve acres of woodland and rough pasture. The woods make a wonderful playground for both children and their parents. There is a south-west facing sun terrace with a barbecue and lovely views across the valley to a 12th century Château.
Lafage is south of the River Lot (about 30 miles South of the Dordogne area), and 15 miles west of Cahors, a market town, renowned for its excellent wine. In the surrounding countryside there are many unspoilt historic towns, ancient Chateaux and several interesting underground caves, including those at Peche-Merle. Riding, fishing and canoeing are some of the local attractions.
Montcuq is the local small hilltop town, with a striking 13th century tower, a pretty bathing lake, Tennis Courts, and a Swimming Pool. On Sunday mornings there is a colourful market. Good and reasonably priced restaurants are found in Lauzerte, Sauzet and Montcuq.
