About the location

La Sagesse is located in the beautiful Lot Valley, a mere 15 minutes drive from the cathedral City of Cahors. Brouelles, with superb views of oak and walnut laden hills, is a hamlet of natural, idyllic beauty.  The surrounding area is a delight in all seasons and offers you a variety of country walks and cycling.  The hills are home to a variety of fauna, including deer, woodpeckers, kites and butterflies. Summers are deliciously warm and any season is perfect for exploring fascinating sites in and around the Lot and Dordogne.

The region abounds in medieval towns and villages.  Many are built into the rock faces of cliffs that overlook the majestic River Lot.  Other opportunities for sightseeing include chateaux, fortified towns and scenic trekking routes.   Throughout the summer there are fetes close by of every description, from horse fairs to garlic fairs and wine markets to bric-a-brac.
