Mas de flory & Lot Cycling Holidays

Wednesday 29th July

Fed up with the UK weather? - just take a look at the forecast here for next week! And it's been like that for weeks and will probably continue for several more yet!! One room left for next week (1 or 2 people) cut price. ASK US

So why not escape the rain and join us in the sunshine - we've cut our late August prices to make it easier!

Sunday 26th July

Our lovely guests from last week went home yesterday - see them on their holiday below. John drove them to Bergerac and then stayed overnight as he was doing the Bergerac triathlon today - mad fool that he is - in temperatures of 35+ degrees (no wetsuits then!).

So as I sat in the courtyard last evening, toute seule, enjoying a relaxing glass of chilled white, I thought how amazingly blue the sky looked and how 'flory' was Mas de Flory - and just had to take some pics!

Thursday 23rd July

If you're considering one of our late summer breaks - either cycling, walking or the wine tour - there are some great low-cost flights to be had at the moment for September and October:

From either Gatwick or Bristol to Toulouse (with Easyjet) and and from London Stanstead or East Midlands to Bergerac (with Ryanair) are all around £65 return or less!

Baby sanglier (wild boar) at Cazals market - but not for sale!

The Observer newspaper (5/7/2009) features Lot Valley Cycle Route

The route starts in Cahors and is 160km long.

Our bike routes use this on Tuesdays and Fridays.

"Two Wheel Trail - Home to some of the most admired full-bodied red wines in France."

Monday 29th June - Phew! It's another scorcher at 32 degrees today. The River Dordogne looked stunning in the sunshine... probably the best place to be in this heat!

Canoes on Dordogne

Sunday 21st June 25 degrees and beautiful sunshine. Collected 21 eggs this morning - the chickens must have been hiding them! So had delicious boiled eggs and soldiers for breakfast on Fathers day, a nice treat.

Friday 12th June - It's 10.30 am and already 26 degrees and beautiful sunshine. The meteo is promising a scorching weekend with temp's up to 35 - bring it on!
