Pech Blanc is situated in France's Quercy region.

The greater part the Quercy lies within the Lot département, most of which was made into a nature park in 1999.

It’s a very special area: a rough, hilly and almost entirely wooded plateau of limestone, through which the river Lot and its contributing streams Célé and Vers, have eroded deep gorges.

Despite its beauty, the Quercy is not overrun by tourists, and even in France it is known as the forgotten district. It is the perfect place for nature lovers.
There is a very wide network of footpaths and there are lots possibilities for horse riding.
Pech Blanc is only 1.5 miles away from one of the most important and well-known footpaths, the GR 65 that leads all the way to Santiago de Compostella in Spain. It is situated directly on several regional paths, one of which goes on a circular route from Cénevière through Calvignac. There are many discoveries to be made while touring the Quercy by car or (motor)cycle.
Special sites are worth a visit, and there are lots of things to do.

We have found the people in the Quercy to be very hospitable and friendly.

Pech Blanc

The climate is very pleasant; a bit warmer than in the Dordogne to the north-west of the Quercy. Temperatures in the months of April, May, June and September through October generally vary between 20 and 25 degrees Celsius.
In summer it is warmer.

Pech Blanc (which means White Summit) is the name of a hamlet that consists of 4 traditional farmhouses. Our chambre d’hôte Pech Blanc, one of these farmhouses (Mas), was built in 1840. Here you can enjoy tranquillity, nature and our hospitality.

We offer spacious en suite rooms in our recently converted barn.
One of the 4 rooms has been specially adapted for wheelchair users.

View over the valley

The breakfast/dining room is also situated in the barn and opens onto a shaded terrace with a beautiful view over the valley.
