About the location

Sightseeing and Places to Eat

La Fouillade, 6km from Najac, is our local village and has everything you need including a supermarket, local store, 2 tabac, coffee and paper shop, butcher, excellent bakery, a pharmacy, a laundry, two hairdressers, a beautician, a clothing store and a library open on Wednesday and Saturday. The proprietors are delightful and will make you feel very welcome. 

There are three doctors and a dentist in the village. There is a restaurant next to a lake with a childrens' play area, so if you fancy a walk after lunch it's all there for you.
