Historical house with character, calm and space

A few reasons among others to be seduced by the house: - if you like historical places, houses with a soul, fine stones: the house is built on the main square of Bretenoux, an old typical french village with arches, dating back from the 13th century. It is also the house where the french writer Pierre Loti went on holidays as a child, holidays he talks about in his books "Le roman d'un enfant" and "Prime jeunesse". If you read the books (available on site, but only in french), you'll recognize the house! A proof that it has been able to withstand the test of time (even though comfort has improved :) ) - if you like space, peace and trouble-free holidays: you will enjoy the 1700 ft2 of the house, its 540 ft2 living room with wood panelling, its two 215 ft2 bedrooms... The house is sunny but remains cool at the same time, even in summer, thanks to its 3 ft wide stone walls. The house is located in a quiet street, but close to all shops: bakery at 130 ft for "croissants" every day, market at 150 ft for fresh local products, restaurant at 300ft, and for the most sporty you can event rent canoe at 1000ft. - if you want to be sure not to miss anything in the region: the house is ideally located to visit everything. Located in the heart of the "vallée de la Dordogne", some of the most beautiful villages of France Loubressac, Autoire and Carennac are all less than 6 miles away, Padirac is at 9 miles, Rocamadour at 19, Saint-Céré and its festival at 5... Not to mention the natural park "Causses du Quercy", the countless castles, the hiking paths...
