Résidence Les Ségalières

If you're after an active hol, you can easily sort horse riding, hiking and climbing in the Causses du Quercy Regional Natural Park, or just take a hike on the trails from the site. Canoeing and fishing on the Dordogne are also available nearby. Medieval Gramat is about three kilometres from the site, with plenty of shops and restaurants among its Middle Ages buildings, 16th-century clocktower and shaded convent garden. It's also the site of the 40-hectare Parc Animalier of Gramat or Gramat animal park, home to over 1000 European animals and birds such as wolves and vultures, bison, bears and deer. Less than 10 kilometres from Gramat is spectacular Rocamadour, built on the edge of a cliff above the Alzou river. It's been a vital French tourist destination since its first church was built in the 12th century and these days sees over a million visitors a year. The huge caverns, river, lake, stalactites and stalagmites of the Gouffre de Padirac, the most visited attraction in the Midi-Pyrenees, are a 15-minute drive from Rocamadour: descend over 100 metres to take a boat trip among the lot.
