Company information

Having been pilgrims for many years, in 2023 we decided to put our rucksacks down and combine our 70 years of work to create L'ESCALE DE VARAIRE and start welcoming pilgrims and holidaymakers to this wonderful département of the Lot, which offers magnificent scenery, a wide range of activities and an incredible culinary and gourmet diversity.

Property information

‘HERE WE FEEL GOOD’, “HERE WE LIVE WELL”! These words ring out like a promise of serenity as soon as you arrive in the Lot. Nestling in the heart of the Causses du Quercy Geopark®, a protected natural area listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, our L'ESCALE DE VARAIRE gîte offers you a place to relax and recharge your batteries, where nature, history and the art of living meet. TWO LODGINGS, TWO IDEAS OF SIMPLICITY AND AUTHENTICITY Located in Varaire, a charming and discreet village in the heart of the Causse de Limogne, our charming old farmhouse consists of two houses renovated with a certain idea of autonomy and ecology: water filtration, rainwater recovery, solar power plant, waste sorting, vegetable garden, compost and dry toilets. 1-Our FOUR A PAIN room for pilgrims (GR®65, 36 and 46), hikers and other travellers: equipped with a queen-size bed and a wood-burning stove for your winter comfort and pleasure, where you can rest and regain your strength. 2-HOUSE 1765 for families or groups of friends: rated 3 stars and able to accommodate up to 9 people, opens its doors to you. This typical Quercy house, with its sun-drenched terrace, swimming pool and pergola with summer kitchen and plancha, invites you to relax and get together. Ideal for summer or school holidays, weekends and bank holidays, it offers a peaceful, rejuvenating setting. AN IDEAL LOCATION FOR EXPLORING THE REGION The Lot, with its rolling countryside, heritage and stone villages steeped in history, some of which are known to be among the most beautiful in France, is an invitation to discover and escape. Close to Saint-Cirq-Lapopie, Rocamadour, the Padirac chasm, the Pech Merle caves, Les Phosphatières, Cordes-sur-Ciel (82) and Najac (12), L'ESCALE DE VARAIRE is the ideal base for exploring the treasures of Quercy.
