La Maison du Saut de la Mounine Holiday Cottage Lot France Holiday Cottage ideal for fishing with Equestrian facilities ideal for cycling and mountain biking in Lot, Lot, France

La Maison du Saut de la Mounine is a modern, exceptionally well equipped, villa set alone ( no neighbours ) amidst trees high above a rocky amphitheatre carved over the millenia by a horse-shoe bend in the River Lot. Established as an area of outstanding natural beauty and special historical interest no further development is permitted; hence the peaceful tranquility of this beautiful spot. Either drive down on dual carriageways and uncongested motorways which are a pleasure to motor on, or fly to Rodez ( 55mins away ) from Stanstead (Ryanair daily , currently six months of summer) and hire a car at ever cheaper rates. Makes getting here a breeze.
