Welcome to Lagarde

Lagarde lies in a region of France known as La Châtaigneraie (the Chestnut Grove), a delightful area of outstanding beauty; a mixed landscape of mountain ranges, forests, lakes and rivers, rolling countryside, and steep gorges in the south-west of the department of Cantal, not far from the valley of the River Lot and the spectacular mountains of the Auvergne.

La Châtagneraie has, in the past, been isolated from much of the rest of France by a lack of roads and air transport. With the upgrading of the roads this wonderful countryside can be accessed in a day’s drive from Britain. Alternatively, make an overnight stop en-route for a more leisurely journey. With the introduction, by Ryanair, of inexpensive flights from London (Stansted) to Rodez, short breaks of a few days as well as long summer stays are feasible in just a few hours from home. You can also travel by rail from Britain and arrive at Aurillac railway station, just 32 kms away from Lagarde.

The property for rent is an Auvergnat Barn beautifully transformed into two completely self-contained gîtes, each with its own private entrance and parking. Accommodation is for up to 14 persons. The arrangement of the accommodation can be viewed on the Accommodation Plan.

Gîte No. 1 is for 4/6 persons and Gîte No. 2 is for 6/8 persons. Both Gîtes can be hired separately. Together, they offer, on one level, a unique arrangement for up to ten friends and family to enjoy spacious comfort but with independent living space, when required. Alongside the property is an 11m x 5.5m swimming pool.

In all directions the views are stunning. It is quiet and peaceful throughout the year.
