Leave ReviewThank you for a wonderful reset!
By Paul and Sarah on 21-Sep-2025Thank you for a wonderful reset! Le Noyer is a haven of tranquility. We very much appreciated David’s visit tips for worthwhile trips in the area. Highlights include a spectacular sunset; the family of geese being put to bed in the barn every night, and being let out in the morning; David’s timely BBQ advice (now I know how to spatchcock a chicken!); the Jardains de Marqueyssac; restaurant Faim Gout R Mets in Villefranche - excellent foie-gras; the rabbits around the pool; the beautifully cared for gardens; Sarah running 20 miles for Marathon training; Paul hiring a bike and zooming off on adventures; Sarlat; La Roque Gageac; Rocamadour; Le Gouffre de Padirac; Domme, the croissants at the local boulangère…… We hope to return!!!
