There are bikes, games including croquet, badminton and table-tennis and a wide range of books, maps and information freely available.There is excellent walking, varying from Grandes Randonées to smaller tracks and footpaths. Numerous paths pass through open countryside dotted with ancient farms and small hamlets, beside rivers and across the rugged terrain of the limestone causses, almost all well marked and accessible. |
The
glazed oak door opens on to a grassed area adjoining a raised grass terrace
with plum and fig trees. Beside the gîte runs a large stone terrace, bordered
by flowers and shrubs and overlooking a 5-metre diameter above-ground pool.
Families and groups of friends can eat, sunbathe, splash in the pool or
play table-tennis here in peace and seclusion. The terrace overlooks fields
and woods to the north, while the gîte's dormer windows to the south have
very pleasant views of gardens and fields.
| Cycling offers another way to explore. The roads are free of heavy traffic and many of the tracks are fine for mountain bikes we have bikes available for the free use of guests, and others can be hired inexpensively in Cajarc. You can also hire canoes and kayaks on both the Célé and the Lot and there is horse riding at various nearby centres. There are four good swimming pools within 10 -15 minutes drive of 'Les Pégouriés' and plenty of picnic and swimming places by the rivers. Wildlife abounds here, and lovers of birds, butterflies, flowers and animals will find much of interest. |  |
