Pinsac

Based beside the picturesque Dordogne River is the delightful village of Pinsac in south-west France. The village, with its little grocery shop, is delightful and within walking distance of the river, but it’s the surroundings that make Pinsac a truly desirable place to stay. The Lot region has an array of pretty villages, iconic castles, ancient vineyards, historic ruins and local markets, so there’s always something new to see or do. The countryside lends itself to some great activities - golf, hiking, biking, canoeing, fishing and swimming – whatever takes your fancy. Then there are the prehistoric caves of LaCave with its ancient wall paintings and spectacular stalagmites, the zoo nearby boasting bears, wolves and bison, and a Reptile park featuring 92 species of snakes, lizards, crocodiles and turtles. Pinsac really is somewhere the whole family can enjoy. With plenty of shops in nearby Brive, Cahors, or the medieval town of Rocamadour, you have everything on your doorstep. And don’t forget to try the local mushrooms, truffles, walnuts and goat’s cheese – you’ll be glad you did…
