Accommodation in Quercy
Oasis du Quercy
- the Tuscany of France
Tucked away in the heart of Quercy Blanc, France, yet easily accessible from nearby medieval villages, the Oasis du Quercy offers an authentic and rejuvenating retreat in a beautifully renovated stone barn.
Surrounded by nature, this serene hideaway is perfect for creativity and writing. Deer often wander in the garden, and at night the soft 'hoo, hoo' of owls lulls you to sleep. A large salt-water pool is available to unwind under the late Spring/early Summer sun.
In collaboration with local chefs, you'll be treated to a gastronomic experience that celebrates the region's seasonal ingredients.
The writing programme integrates time and invites inspiration as you explore and enjoy local highlights.
Oasis du Quercy is just a few kilometres from the fortified villages of Tornon-d'Agenais and Roquecor, and a short drive from the picturesque hilltop towns of Lauzerte, Montcuq, and Montaigu-de-Quercy. Nearby lakes invite you for a spring swim. The region is a paradise for walkers and hikers, with the Chateau de Montaigu within walking distance and the Camino de Santiago trail passing close by.
Agen train station is 45 minutes away, and Toulouse is just 1.5 hours by car.
