Gîtes de France® - Le Gascou

Welcome to Lalbenque, in the Lot region, where this charming family home, “Le Gascou,” accommodates up to 10 people for a vacation centered on togetherness and the good life. This standalone cottage, restored in keeping with the traditional Lot style, offers a peaceful setting in the heart of a small hamlet. Enjoy the private, fenced-in, and secure pool (open from June through September) to cool off and savor those beautiful summer days. Under the pergola, the large terrace is the perfect spot for joyful meals and evenings that stretch on and on with friends or family. The lovely garden invites you to relax, while the Way of St. James, just 300 m away, promises wonderful excursions.
