About Pinel Hauterive in Lot-et-Garonne, Aquitaine

The Pigeonnier is privately set apart from our 18th century house beside the river Lot, 5 minutes from Ste. Livrade sur Lot and 5 minutes from the pretty little village of Casseneuil.

Within a short drive you can be in deep country and a range of well mapped rambling and mountain bike routes that can take you for miles through tiny villages and hidden valleys. Riding is another wonderful way of discovering the area and there are three riding stables that can arrange accompanied treks. Along the river are stretches where you can water-ski and various places where you can hire canoes.

Castelnaud (15 minutes) has an excellent championship 18-hole golf course with a driving range, putting green, pro shop and a restaurant. Tombeboeuf has a 9-hole golf course with a practice area and a pro shop. Both golf courses have clubs, trolleys and buggies for hire.

Park Walibi, a big amusement park near Agen, is always fun for children. So is the Magic Forest in Clairac, where gnomes and animals will help them discover a magical world. Clairac also has a wonderful model train museum. The Magique Chaudron is an angora goat farm where you can buy colourful angora sweaters and the children can help to bottle feed the kids at certain times of the year, and even help with the milking and cheese making.

The Lot-et-Garonne is an area of hills and valleys with a patchwork of fruit orchards market garden farms and fields of summer corn and sunflowers, dotted with ancient hilltop villages. Villeneuve-sur-Lot was founded in 1253 and the Pont Vieux, the town’s main bridge across the river, dates from about that time and is still used today. Villeneuve was also a major stopping place along the the old pilgrim route to Santiago de Compostela in Spain.

Pujols stands on a hilltop, 2 kms south-west of Villeneuve, a pleasant walk from the Porte de Pujols. The pretty, medieval village attracts many antiques lovers and has a number of shops and art galleries in its lovely, restored half-timbered houses. There are two very good restaurants in the village and a Michelin starred restaurant across the valley from the village.

Penne d’Agenais is 8 kms upriver from Villeneuve and another picturesque, hilltop village with a warren of tiny, steep lanes, lined with immaculately tidy stone and brick houses. Monflanquin, a beautifully preserved hilltop bastide and one of the finest examples of its kind, was founded in 1256 by Alphonse de Poitiers, the indefatigable brother of King Louis IX. Villereal is an unspoiled bastide town near the River Dropt, 13 kms north of Monflanquin. The Place de la Halle, the large, main central square, has a fine 14th century timbered covered market, overlooked by an impressive, twin-towered 13th century church.

The vineyards of Buzet, Duras and Bergerac are all within an hour’s drive. The Bordeaux vineyards, including Saint Emilion (a must) and Cahors are about 90 minutes.
