Perhaps you`d like to follow the gentle River Ouysse upstream through the greenery to the mediaeval Moulin de Cougnaguet - though to be the oldest water-mill still working?
Or maybe breast the neighbouring heights which give unrivalled views over the Dordogne Valley?
These are just a few of the sights visible from your generous breakfast table on the terrace.
It would be hard to imagine a better-situated spot for holiday évasions of every kind: fishing, canoeing, bicycling gently motoring along the back roads - with all the time in the world to enjoy the abundant wildlife.
Or there`s the age-old pilgrimage centre of Rocamadour, clinging vertiginously to its cliff-face; the amazing grottes of Lacave and Padirac; the tapestry ateliers of Jean Lurçat near St-Céré; the magnificent churches at Martel and Souillac; and, only a short drive farther on, the mediaeval glories of Sarlat and its fabled market, the cave paintings of Lascaux, and the innumerable prehistoric marvels in and around Les Eyzies, “Cradle of Mankind”.
Closer home, you may not be surprised to learn, in view of Le Pont de l`Ouysse`s gastronomic reputation, that there is an élevage d`oies only 500 metres from the hotel!
