Overview
Description
Le Manoir SchneuryLe Manoir Schneury, a haven of peace in the heart of the Lot
The picturesque and relatively compact medieval town of Cahors is just 20 minutes away, offering large supermarkets, shops, restaurants, and all the amenities expected of the administrative centre of the Lot department. Cahors is internationally known for its Malbec wine, its lively cultural scene, and its annual Blues and Jazz Festival. The town is also home to the iconic Pont Valentré, built in 1308 and listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site as part of the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela.
For everyday essentials, there are also closer shopping options in Prayssac (15 minutes away) and Catus (10 minutes away), both offering supermarkets, bakeries, cafés, and local shops. The area is also well known for its excellent local markets, with a variety of traditional markets taking place in nearby towns on different days of the week, making it easy to explore regional produce, local cheeses, wines, and crafts throughout your stay.
This part of France enjoys one of the lowest population densities in Europe, with no heavy industry. As a result, the environment is exceptionally clean and unspoilt, with virtually no light pollution, making night skies and star-gazing truly spectacular.
The Lot region is renowned for its outdoor activities and natural beauty. The nearby rivers are ideal for canoeing and kayaking, while countless walking and hiking trails wind through limestone plateaux, forests, and valleys. Karting and tree climbing are available in the area to entertain the whole family. Highlights include the spectacular Gouffre de Padirac, one of France’s most famous underground sites, as well as the stunning villages of Saint-Cirq-Lapopie and Rocamadour, dramatically perched on a cliff face and home to a renowned bird of prey and eagle sanctuary.
Food lovers will appreciate the region’s celebrated cuisine, featuring duck, truffles, wild mushrooms, and excellent local produce. In spring, the countryside comes alive with wildflower meadows and over 20 varieties of rare orchids, making the area especially appealing to nature lovers and photographers.
Magnificent stone property over 200 years old, fully restored, nestled in a peaceful hamlet in the Lot. The house comfortably accommodates 8 adults in 4 bedrooms and up to 6 children or teenagers in the dormitory, arranged over three floors.
On the ground floor, there are two spacious double bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom and large beds suitable for couples.
The first floor features a further double bedroom with its own bathroom, as well as a large open-plan living space comprising a lounge, dining area, and a fully equipped kitchen, including a Lacanche range and high-quality appliances (KitchenAid, pizza oven, ice machine, etc.).
On the second floor, you’ll find a dormitory sleeping six children/teenagers, another double bedroom, and an additional bathroom.
The property is ideal for a relaxing holiday focused on peace, nature, and comfort. Set within a 3,000 m² private landscaped garden, it offers several areas to unwind. A private 10 × 5 m swimming pool, surrounded by sun loungers, parasols, and mature trees, is perfect for sunny days.

A welcoming and charming gite in an unspoilt location
By Catherine Olley on 25-Jul-2026We loved our stay and found the accommodation to be really well equipped with very helpful and communicative hosts. The property is in a quiet and secluded location with plenty of space for families and groups to convene. There was an abundance of activities at the house which kept everybody entertained - the swimming pool and trampoline a particular hit with the children. The house is really well located with lots of interesting spots nearby - we enjoyed the Lot for river swimming and the weekly market in Cahors. The bedrooms are spacious and the main sitting room / kitchen stayed cool which gave us respite from the very hot weather. Thank you for having us, we'd go back!

Manoir Schneury, havre de paix au coeur du Lot
By Laura on 15-Aug-2026Public review · 5 stars We spent a week at Marie's and there were 6 adults and 6 children. The house was perfectly suited to our small group: large, bedrooms with private bathrooms for the most part, and a very well-equipped kitchen. It keeps its freshness relatively well despite the heat. The swimming pool and the garden are very pleasant, and the children really enjoyed the games available outside. Thanks again for this great stay!
Amazing house in a very peaceful area
By Matt on 11-Jul-2026Experience with the owners was great, they were very helpful, knowledgeable about the area, and friendly. We stayed at the house in July during the unseasonably hot weather and they had ordered extra fans for us. Even with the hot weather the house didn’t get too hot owing to the stone walls and shutters etc. The house is very well equipped, I can’t think of anything the kitchen didn’t have or have enough of. The kitchen was a great place to hang out as a group whilst making dinner. So was the lounge which we did use as it was very hot outside at times. The pool was new for our stay and it was lovely! The grounds were excellent for our group, we had a dog with us and he enjoyed patrolling and lazing in the shade. The garden was completely secure. The area is typical of the region, very peaceful. Within good reach of all the various sights and villages. We reached most places in under an hour. A few of us took road bikes, there’s a good mix of very quiet lanes and faster rolling main roads, also quiet to be fair. Nice selection of hills and and Boulangeries to plan a route around. Can’t fault it for a group of friends, it would suit a family well too. There was even a micropub about 2km in Lherm, and some nice restaurants around.
