In our house is a folder with many possibilities to go somewhere, eat out or be active. In the Lot, there are enormous opportunities to make new memories in your holidays. Here are some of our tips.

Cultural trips

And of course, besides the lovely stay at La Foussimagne, there is plenty to do. Both nearby and a little further afield. In France, we quickly speak of the “French fifteen minutes” to go somewhere from your location in the countryside (a la campagne).
