Rancho Escargot Bed and Breakfast Carennac, France

Rancho Escargot Bed and Breakfast Carennac Eco Friendly Luxury B&B for romantic breaks in Carennac, Lot, France

rancho escargot welcomes you to a very special area of southwestern France... The Dordogne River valley. Just two hours from either Bordeaux or Toulouse and just over a four hour train ride south of Paris brings you to a place undiscovered by all but the most ardent Francophiles.

Mankind has inhabited this region known as the ‘Haut-Quercy’ for over 450,000 years. The area was home to both Cro-Magnon & Neanderthal man and the finest prehistoric cave paintings ever created are located here. The region’s pristine medieval villages will magically transport you back to the time of the Knights Templar and the Crusades. Recreational activities abound; take a kayak trip or fly-fish on the Dordogne River, explore the villages and countryside by foot, bike or horseback. Discover true French country cuisine that will delight even the most discriminating palate.

Our B&B is located just above the magnificent, 11th century, village of Carennac, in the tranquil hamlet of Magnagues. For your personal comfort we provide a private, well appointed one bedroom suite which is the perfect home-base for your exploration & discovery of our region. Centrally located, we are within a 30 minute drive radius of many pre-historical sites and some of the most beautiful medieval villages in all of France.
