Converted Stone Barn 250m² with Full Size Snooker Table, on 30ac Protected Wild Orchid and Blue Butterfly Nature Reserve
This spacious and comfortably renovated white stone barn is set in a picturesque garden with its own 11m x 5m private pool with Roman semi-circular stairs, shallow and deep end, next to the owners’ own home. Tranquil setting surrounded by nature and also perfect fun for family and children.
La Grange de Cezac has an imposing exposed beamed roof and terracotta floors with underfloor heating. The property comfortably accommodates 4 people and comprises:
- A country kitchen, at one end of the barn, leads directly onto a shaded and covered dining terrace overlooking the garden. In the middle of the barn is:
- A sitting area with large chimney and sofas and a second dining table.
- The main double bedroom (Queen size bed 160 x 200cm large bed) has its own bathroom with extra wide shower and separate bath tub. Above the main bedroom is:
- A very large mezzanine with full size english snooker table and two single beds if required.
- The second double bedroom (king size bed 180 x 200cm and a 140 x 190cm fold out), with ensuite shower and wc, is on the ground floor of the main house (owner's home) with independant external access just meters from the barn.
Nature Reserve and Outdoor Activities
The garden and pool of the rental property are orientated away from the owner's home, ensuring privacy. Sorry, but no pets allowed.
Since 1989 the agricultural land, vineyards and lavander plantations of Le Sabatou and La Grange de Cezac have been returned back to nature and the use of pesticides stopped. In 1995 Le Sabatou became a registered protected nature reserve under ASPAS and has seen the return of rare butterflies and wild orchids. The wild bee population has been steadily growing too. Bird watchers, photographers and naturalists will find plenty to discover. There are many healing Bach plants.
Walking routes lead off directly from the property. Maps and written guides are available in the gite. Cezac is on a main route of the St.Jaques de Compostella pilgrimage route to Spain.
Virtually traffic free road cycling is a national pastime here aswell as tracks for mountain and e-biking. The hills are not too high or steep but sufficiently demanding to fully appreciate the reward of a downhill breeze.
Canoeing and Kayaking is available for rent on the rivers. This is a must for all the family for an unforgettable day out. Further infomation is available.
La Grange de Cezac is located at Le Sabatou in the village of Cezac between the towns of Cahors, Montcuq and Castelnau-Montratier.
Distances
- Montcuq 15kms (medieval hilltop village)
- Lauzerte 17kms (medieval hilltop village)
- Castelnau-Montratier 7kms fresh produce markets
- Cahors 15kms
Cahors has its annual summer festivals with exhibitions, spectacles, drama, dancing, music and fireworks. There are caves, vineyards, underground grottes, potteries, lavender distilleries, museums and many art galleries to visit. There are more energetic activities such as canoeing, boat hire or even paragliding with professional tuition or just tandem flying. You will find exactly what you want.
There is a public tennis court within walking distance, a horse-riding center within a few kms and a nine hole golf course 6kms away.
There are opportunities for walking and cycling on many country paths all mapped and sign posted with the famous route "Le Chemin de St. Jacques de Compostella" passing along our valley leading all the way into the heart of Spain.

How best to describe a perfect week? This gite is a recipe for relaxation yet is central within an area that offers so much. We've loved it! We've swam everyday, walked locally and further a field and just sat on the patio enjoying the peace - as well as the local food and wine! Trips out have included Montcuq (great Market on Sunday morning) and Castelnau. We've also explored the fascinating town and villages along the river Lot. Saint Cirque Lapopie is amazing. We also enjoyed Cahors, visiting on market day (wed) taking a boat ride on the river and even hoping on the little train for an informative tour. The gite is wonderful - probably the best we've stayed in. Gerda and Geoffrey are helpful and welcoming hosts. Thank you so much! We hope to come back !Guest rating:
We have stayed in numerous gites over the years of varying quality - this beautiful converted barn surpassed them all. The accommodation was very comfortable (gorgeous bedrooms), it was very well-equipped - dishwasher, microwave, freezer, washing machine, etc. and we received a warm welcome. The snooker table was a hit with the teenagers! We would recommend Gite La Grange de Cezac to anyone of any age. The private pool is a real sun-trap from morning to evening, and the whole place is quiet, but close enough to some amazing towns and villages; some real "must-sees". We cannot recommend this holiday home highly enough - a really outstanding find (I think we'll try to come back)!Guest rating:
The barn was an excellent base to explore the Lot Department, as there are so many things to see all within an hour or so- the truly jaw-dropping Rocamadour and Les Gouffres de Padirac, the beautiful town of St. Cirq Lapopie, the prehistoric caves at Pech Merle, Tournons d'Agenais, etc. Cahors is only about 15 mins drive away, and is great for day trips- we recommend L'Auberge de Vieux Cahors for dinner- the food was great. Also try Hotel de Qercy in Lauzerte- delicious! Montcuq is only 10 mins away and has a superb market every sunday, and a pleasure lake with a sandy beach (plan d'eau). Carrefour supermarket is only 15 mins away on the drive into Cahors which was really handy. A great place to stay.Guest rating:
We had a wonderful two weeks at Le Grange de Cezac. The converted barn oozes character and charm- we loved it from the moment we walked in. We were blown away by the sheer size of the barn, and the full size snooker table on the mezzanine level was a great touch for relaxed evenings. The owners could not have been more welcoming and helpful, and whilst they gave us our space, they were on hand to help whenever we needed anything. We brought our nine month old daughter, and were pleased to see a lovely, sturdy cot ready for her, and a good high chair. The bedding was immaculate, the kitchen and all utensils were of a very good standard and also immaculate. The outside seating area next to the bbq was lovely for al fresco dining, and there was a 10 second walk through the garden to the private pool which was superb- we felt that the pool was one of the best features of the property- really deep deep end, and a good size. We saw eagles circling high above us as we floated in the cooling water- paradise. We highly recommend it.Guest rating:
