The property: Lou Cantou is a 250 year old farm worker’s stone cottage on one floor fully restored and modernised to a high standard whilst retaining its original character.

Situated in the centre of the village it is both quiet yet convenient for the well stocked shop and local bar. It has attractive gardens front and rear with parking adjacent to the property.

The spacious accommodation of 83 m² comprises a large kitchen/dining room and separate well furnished sitting room, a luxurious shower room, one double bedroom and one twin bedded room, both with good storage space.

The kitchen has ample working area and storage space, a gas hob, full size electric fan oven, large fridge-freezer and microwave. It is stocked with good quality cooking equipment and utensils suitable for the most discerning of cooks enabling use to be made of the wide variety of excellent produce available from local markets. The large double sided wood burner provides the focal point for both kitchen/diner and sitting room and there are thermostatically controlled radiators in the bedrooms and shower room. The master bedroom also contains a small wood burner.  The good quality beds have mattress covers, duvets and pillows but bed linen is not included in the rental cost.  There is French and English Satellite TV and a DVD player in the sitting room. Telephone points exist which can be connected to provide Internet access. All furniture and fittings are comfortable and of good quality.  A cot, high-chair and baby bath are available if required.

Outside Area: A small courtyard garden to the front of the cottage is ideal for morning coffee and croissants. French doors from both the kitchen/diner and sitting room lead to the attractive, sunny and secluded back garden stocked with trees and shrubs.  A stone barbecue and garden furniture are provided as it is often warm enough to eat outside in the winter.

Surrounding Area: The pretty village of La Chapelle Aubareil is ideally situated between the magnificent medieval town of Sarlat with its colourful street markets, shops, cinemas, theatre and numerous restaurants and Montignac on the river Vezere.

Both Sarlat and Montignac have banks, post offices, supermarkets and a full range of shopping facilities.  Throughout the year markets are held in both towns on Wednesday mornings with a larger market every Saturday morning in Sarlat.

The cinema complex in Sarlat is one of the most active in South West France having an annual film festival and frequent pre-release films with many recent British and American films shown in the English language.

The larger towns of Brive and Perigueux are both within a 40 minute drive providing extensive shopping facilities and cultural activities. All the major hypermarkets can be found here as well as individual shops and boutiques in the older narrow streets and squares of these towns.

Surrounded by beautiful countryside, La Chapelle is close to numerous chateaux including Hautefort, Castelnaud and Les Millandes. The stunning villages of La Roque Gageac, Beynac and Domme are close as are countless historical sites including the world famous Lascaux caves.  During the winter period the area is ideal for walking, cycling and mountain biking and local maps and guides are available on our bookshelves. The ski resorts of the Auvergne are just two hours away giving easy access to a days skiing when the snow forecast is good. We often do this!

Finally, within the area are a number of excellent eating places many of which are listed in the Michelin red and green guides - both books are in the sitting room.
