Gites de Combarel

We spent mid September at Gites de Combarel as a couple. The days were still very warm, though the nights had started to cool down. La Grangette was clean and nicely restored, with modern comforts like a good kitchen, bathroom, and plenty of utensils. Its thick walls kept the heat out, so it stayed comfortable indoors. The countryside around Combarel is peaceful, with woods and meadows nearby. There are sunny spots and plenty of shade under the trees, plus a well-kept pool. We liked sitting on the patio at dusk and watching deer pass by. The owners greeted us warmly and showed us around. Figeac is nearby, and the supermarket is about 15 minutes away by car. Gouffre de Padirac, Saint Cirque Lapopie, Cahors, and Castelnau-Bretenoux are all within an hour's drive. You do need a car to reach the gîtes, and they're about one and a half km from the main road on a small lane. Wifi was patchy inside but good enough outside and by the pool. We didn't need much of it there anyway. We'd likely stay at Gites de Combarel again if we're back in the area.
