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.
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. |
