Gite House Stairs

The Fabre Vieux mansion, which dates from 1642, is located on the limestone plateaus of Quercy Blanc, south of the medieval town of Cahors. The owner Maria Van Bakelen has restored the buildings in the respect of the original architecture, between 1990 and 2005 (stone walls, mortise and tenon joinery, large chimneys and round tower with a height of ten meters). The restoration has come to an end after these years of work. The buildings consist of two adjoining houses: the Maison Tour (private) and the STAIR HOUSE (rent for 5 to 6 pp); a large barn including the theater workshop and two units of housing for rent: Gite LAVANDE (3 to 4 pp) and Gite OLEANDER (3 pp) with, in the back, a large covered terrace. In 2011 a new cottage is built 30 m away from the Chateau, the FOURNIL, with a traditional oven and independent garden (rent for 4 pp).
