Gîtes de France® - Domaine de Bel Air

This family suite welcomes families only. However, the rooms can be used independently if you are a couple or an individual. They are located side by side, allowing both Kids and parents to have their own living space. One bedroom has 1 x 160cm bed with en-suite shower room and WC, and the other has 1 x 180cm bed that can be made into 2 x 90cm beds, with en-suite shower room and WC. Reversible air-conditioning in both bedrooms. The "St Lucie Cherry" and "Boxwood" species used for their keys symbolize birth, life... The "Twins" illustrate the lives of our two companions: Nino Ferrer in Montcuq in the south of the Lot and Léo Ferré on his farm at Gourdon au Perdrigal" in Bouriane... and the "Grain" illustrates the birth of Christian Signol near Les 4 routes in the north of the Lot, a major regional writer whose books have been adapted into films... featuring the Lot and Dordogne rivers.

Garden view Maximum sleeps: 2 Bed type: King size double bed, or 90cm Twin beds with 180cm bamboo mattress topper, storage space, valet, chest of drawers, shower, washbasin, WC, central heating The old bread oven outside bears witness to the time when my grandfather Joseph baked bread. Later converted into an artisanal cheese factory, the space is now dedicated to the sculptor Ossip Zadkine and his painter wife Valentine Prax, whose Atelier Museums in the village of Les Arques en Bouriane offers us beautiful perspectives and invites us to discover their works linked to the forms of nature and poetry... The room is accessible on one level via a separate entrance under the tamarisk tree. Echoing the Printemps des poètes, Louis 2Verdal is a multi-disciplinary artist from St Céré: poet, sculptor, painter, woodcutter, researcher, maybe none of the above! I highly recommend it!

The bedroom (140cm bed, armchair, storage space, valet, central heating) and bathroom (shower, washbasin, WC, chair, central heating) are on one level, accessible for people with reduced mobility. The trees in front of the Marronniers room play with their shadows on the curtain of childhood memories when my paternal grandparents looked after me and my sisters at Bel Air. Françoise Quoirez, princess of Sagan, would have loved him too, the eternal child of Cajarc and Seuzac, in a hurry to live, looking for lost time. Her appetite for festivities and games competed with that for reading and silence, in front of the spectacle of nature... She greatly admired the trees, those that accompany her forever, seeming to open up the sky to protect her inner landscape. Peter May, the Franco-Scottish king of thrillers, who lives in Bétaille in the Lot, will accompany your readings and plunge you into a captivating cinematic universe.

A symbol of wisdom, the owl, solitary and silent, watches over this room bathed in the light of the rising sun. It was inspired by the owls that nest high above our dovecote, true guardians of the place, as well as by the world of the famous tapestry-maker Jean Lurçat, whose emblematic work dedicated to the owl is exhibited at the Musée des Tours Saint-Laurent, in Saint-Céré. Ideal for families, the room features a double bed and a comfortable sofa bed for two. It also includes a separate bathroom with private bath, for a comfortable, private stay (storage space, armchair, bench, valet, desk, chair, central heating, reversible air conditioning). For young families, an Umbrella bed and baby bath are available on request.

1 x 160cm bed, storage space, valet, armchair, reversible air-conditioning, shower room with private WC. Built into the dovecote like an alcove, La Tour features a colorful décor and a view of the barns and the large oak tree, just like André Breton's former Auberge des Mariniers in the Lot at the bottom of the village of St Cirq, now a Musée du Département. It was in 1951 that André Breton, leader of Surrealism, made his dream of stone and light a reality, after inaugurating the 1st World Road without borders, arriving at St Cirq Lapopie: "It was at the end of the drive - the only road of hope - that St Cirq, ablaze with Bengal fires, appeared to me - like an impossible rose in the night....". We're spotlighting the great American poet William Merwin, who loved to spend time at his house in Lacam, on the edge of the Causse and the Dordogne, in the manner of Stevenson, surveying the paths, hills and meadows of the region.
