Surrounded by woodland and gazing out over the beautiful waters of Lac Vert, L’Escapade au Lac is a countryside retreat where lakeside charm, privacy and play come together effortlessly. This characterful cottage in the heart of the Lot invites guests to unwind in an unspoiled natural setting just moments from the lake's lively summer scene.

Blending rustic charm with modern comfort, this holiday abode is set over two floors and designed with relaxed gatherings in mind. The main living space features an open-plan lounge and dining area that flows onto a large, elevated terrace with panoramic views across the lake. A fully equipped kitchen and a double bedroom with king-size bed complete the upper level, while the lower ground floor hosts two further bedrooms and a family bathroom. Outside, an idyllic terrace surrounds the private pool, while table tennis and woodland trails promise entertainment and exploration.

From morning swims in the lake to sunset drinks on the terrace, the guest experience here is deeply connected to the outdoors. Just a short stroll leads you to the other side of Lac Vert for its vibrant offerings in the height of the summer: beach volleyball, tennis, children's play areas, lakeside dining and an aquapark for energetic afternoons. Canoes, pedalos, paddleboards and walking trails mean every day can unfold in a different way. When it’s time to stock up or dine out, the little village of Catus is within easy reach, offering essential amenities and local flavour.

Perfectly positioned between the historic towns of Cahors and Gourdon, this location unlocks some of south-western France's finest cultural and culinary treasures. Spend a day wine tasting in Cahors, exploring medieval lanes in Gourdon, or venturing a little further to the famed Dordogne River and Sarlat-la-Canéda's gastronomic markets.

Whether you're seeking lakeside adventure or a slower pace surrounded by birdsong and dappled woodland light, L’Escapade au Lac offers a stay shaped by nature, comfort and discovery.
