The Secret Lot A Place Waiting to be Discovered

Discover our Secret Lot for a long holiday, a short break or a long weekend

Situated in the tiny, unspoilt hamlet of Lagarrigue, La Maison du Four and Le Cantou are Traditional auvergne Stone Cottages that overlook this little known and very quiet part of the Lot Valley offering numerous opportunities for walking, sightseeing and relaxing.
