The charming medieval town of Martel, with its twice weekly traditional covered market, is close by, as are some of the best regional restaurants in the area.
Close by there is a steam locomotive (chemin de fer) that runs along the old railway line cut into the cliffs 80 metres above the Dordogne valley. It is a 13 km return journey between St Denis and Martel with beautiful panoramic views. A very popular attraction for both adults and children.
About the Lot
The River Dordogne just passes through the northern tip of the Lot department and this is a department that has also become very popular with visitors, the Lot valley in particular. The department boasts one of France’s major tourist attractions, the village of Rocamadour, perched precariously on a steep cliff face overlooking the valley of the Ouysse. Other pretty towns and villages include Saint Cirq Lapopie, Carennac, Autoire and Loubressac.
Like the Dordogne, the department has a number of spectacular underground caves, including Le Gouffre de Padirac, Le Gouffre de Proumeyssac, La Grotte de Cougnac, Domme and Lascaux 4.
Both the Dordogne and the Lot are famous for its gourmet delights, notably Paté de Foie Gras, Magret de Canard and Confit de Canard (duck), Walnuts and Truffles.

The area is perfect for holidays and, although the house is rural and not within an easy walk of a shop/restaurant, it suited us very well. The setting is tranquil and the pool is a great asset. The surrounding countryside and the town of Martel are beautiful. We had a lovely holiday at La Veyrie and would definitely return.
Guest rating:
Having enjoyed a wonderful holiday at La Veyrie in 2018 we had planned to revisit in 2020. Unfortunately, due to Covid we did not return until 2022. Even though there is much to see and do in the area we spent a lot of time just enjoying the house and grounds which are an attraction all by themselves. The serenity can't be described and has to be experienced. (Also bring binoculars for the wildlife and the night skies which are amazing!
Guest rating:
We had to delay our visit to La Veyrie three times due to covid, so were very grateful for the understanding shown by the team. It was certainly worth the wait.
The house is unique, with enough idiosyncrasies to be charming while at the same time being very liveable. The huge pool achieves the unusual feat of having great views while also being completely private.
I don't understand why Martel is not better known, it is a charming French town providing all you could wish for, and with the river within walking distance there is little need, once here, to travel far to find plenty to see and do.Guest rating:
We enjoyed a wonderful family holiday at La Veyrie. The property is expansive and beautiful, and it was a struggle to tear ourselves away from the lovely pool to go visit local attractions such as the river, underground caves and steam engine. You are provided with plenty of utensils, crockery and cutlery, there is a games area with table tennis and basket ball and plenty of linen, pillows and towels. Martel was just a short drive away and was perfect for sitting in the village square, visiting the shops and eating at the restaurants.
