Located on the edge of the village of Cornus (commune of Cénévières), in the heart of the Parc Naturel Régional des Causses du Quercy, this 150 m² property overlooks the valley. In the village center, you’ll find a grocery store selling bread, local produce, wine, fruit and vegetables. The town hall, post office and lively restaurant-bar are less than 10 minutes’ walk from the house. Supermarkets and local markets can be found in Cajarc (15 min), Limogne-en-Quercy (15 min), Cahors (40 min) and Villefranche-de-Rouergue (30 min). The house is close to Saint-Cirq-Lapopie, a charming village perched on the cliffs (listed as one of the “Most Beautiful Villages in France”), just 10 minutes away. The nearest airports are Toulouse (1h35) and Bergerac (2h). (Ref. : ig260408cenevieres)
