The main city Cahors is a 25 mins drive away and has plenty of sites of historic interest including the not to be missed Pont Valentré, a 14th century fortified mediaeval bridge dominating the River Lot. Why not take Le Petit Train to discover the heart of the old town? There are plenty of local restaurants and cafes to choose from and it has a fabulous market on Wednesdays and Saturdays. There are many traditional French markets on different days of the week depending on the location.
Within easy driving distance are the historic medieval villages of Montcuq, Lauzerte and Castelnau Montratier all with a variety of local restaurants, boulangeries and supermarkets.
We are an ideal base for exploring this picturesque region of France, with over 300 vineyards, pretty bastide towns and villages perched on steep hillsides dominating beautiful river valleys and within easy reach of chateaux, caves and lots more.
Cahors is famous for its “black wine” being made primarily from the Malbec grape variety and local vineyards are proud to offer a chance to taste their range of wines which also include white and rosé wines. We will be delighted to point you in the right direction and share our experiences with you.
Laborde Neuve is also in close proximity to the Coteaux de Quercy appellation which offers red and rosé wines made predominantly from the Cabernet Franc grape.
A guide book for the Quercy region is available for guest use and gives an in depth insight to the history of the area and places to visit.
So whether you want to simply relax and take in the sunshine or spend days exploring the area this is an ideal spot to visit.
