Slice of heaven
Slept so well in this quiet retreat in older part of town. On warmer days feel like sitting outside with the large sliding door open. Apartment appointed with anything you might need. Nearby pharmacy, bank, Casino and cafe and brasserie and restaurants within 1 km walk. Good takeaway kebab just steps out the door. Lovely market and easy town to use as base for visiting Lot and Cele area with many medieval towns, Peche Merle, etc. Would stay afain anytime back in this area.

Les Arcades, Cahors Old Town
This was a really charming property, and lived up to our expectations. It was very clean and comfortable, and the sofa bed exceeded my expectation. It is very well equipped, and had everything we needed. It has a lovely garden, though when we were there in late September it didn't get the early morning or evening sun, though that would be a bonus when very hot. It is very conveniently situated for pedestrian access, but is more difficult with a car because of the very narrow streets and one way system. We hired the garage a short distance away, but there is a large free car park close. After the initial booking through VRBO, we had direct communication from the host, Mme Deladerriere. She sent us a welcoming letter, with details of the property, and map of the town showing the position. We were able to contact her directly via email with some queries, and received immediate replies. It was good to meet her in person after we arrived. We felt very comfortable in Les Arcades, and would thoroughly recommend it for a holiday. We are already considering booking again.

Les Arcades was the ideal location to stay in Cahors
We recently spent a fantastic week in Les Arcades. it was perfectly located just a short walk from the Boulevard where you can enjoy the restaurants and bars. Supermarkets are also close by. Mme Deladerriere gave us some really useful tips on arrival re restaurants and places to visit. The apartment was very clean and suited my husband and I perfectly. Les Arcades is in the heart of this most beautiful city and has a courtyard garden where you can relax after a busy day exploring. This is the perfect place to stay and discover the beauty of Cahors and explore the surrounding area. Thank you Yvonne for making our holiday so memorable.

Very secure, quiet and comfortable.
Our week in Yvonne’s Les Arcades apartment was very nice. The apartment is in an ideal location in the center of old town Cahors and just one block off Boulevard Gambetta, the main boulevard. There is free parking a very short walk away and a local grocery across the boulevard. The surrounding area is full of history, culture, shops, bars, restaurants, cafés and great places to while away the time. The apartment is in an enclosed courtyard with plenty natural light from the wall of windows fronting the courtyard. The kitchen is well equipped, the bathroom is large and has a washer and dryer, the bedroom is large and the bed is comfortable. WIFI connection was very good. Yvonne was a delightful host and concerned for our comfort. Thank you Yvonne for a lovely stay.

Les Arcades was a little quirky but is also a little gem in an excellent position.
We had a wonderful stay and Mme Deladerriere gave us some helpful tips on arrival re places and restaurants to visit. The apartment is rather unusual as it is long and thin but it has all mod cons and is great value for money. If you want to watch TV there is one but due to shape of the room viewing from the sofa may pose a problem. The two best features of the apartment are its location in the heart of the beautiful historic city of Cahors and the quiet calm provided by Les Arcades courtyard garden. From this base one may explore the city which has much to offer. The old city is superb with many historic buildings and wonderful restaurants. It also provides a base for striking out and visiting the many attractive towns and villages not to mention wonderful vineyards in the surrounding region. The wines of this region are superb as is the cuisine. I have no problems recommending Les Arcades as an excellent base for exploring both the city and surrounding area.

A lovely stay in the medieval town - historic atmosphere with modern facilities.
The Arcades was very quiet, private and secure, located in the old town within easy walking distance of most Cahors sights. Also convenient for shopping at the markets, the market hall or the shops on the Boulevarde and the supermarket. Yvonne offered great recommendations for shopping and for local restaurants. The apartment was clean, comfortable and well equipped for self-catering and had excellent wifi. Yvonne was helpful from our first email contact and made us feel very welcome. In our two week stay we found the apartment in Cahors to be an excellent base for sight-seeing in the Lot and Dordogne valleys and beyond. Being able to rent a garage space was invaluable in a town where parking seemed almost impossible. Cahors offered a great variety of cultural activities, very good food and wine and we found people friendlier than in some other towns where they appeared to suffer 'tourist fatigue'.

Cahors est une ville riche en histoire ainsi que ses alentours (nombreux villages à visiter).L'emplacement de la cité est très particulier, ce qui fait son charme. J'ai passé une belle semaine dans un joli logement qui me correspondait. A voir également le musée Henri MARTIN, un peintre que j'ai découvert et apprécié. Des hôtes très accueillants.

Het is een fijn verblijf in de historische binnenstad maar heel rustig. Zodra je de poort uit ging stond je in het mooie centrum. Het appartement had alles wat je nodig had en heel schoon. Wij konden een garage huren dus dat maakte het compleet. Enige nadeel was de slechte internetverbinding! Al met al een fijne vakantie gehad en zeker een aanrader.

Séjour Cahors du 29 Juillet au 12 Aout 2023
L'appartement est incroyablement calme, alors qu'il est en ville, il est bien équipé et le jardin aussi joli qu'agréable, nous avons été en outre très bien accueilli. Séjourner à Cahors permet de rayonner idéalement sur toute la région , pour notre part de Gourdon à Lauzerte , du château de Bonaguil , Puy L'Eveque à Figeac. La vallée du Lot est belle à parcourir ,mais celle du Célé nous aura particulièrement marqué,de même que bien des villages ou endroits parfois sans label particulier, mais d'un charme fou.Si comme nous , vous êtes amateur d'Histoire, de Préhistoire ( Grottes de Pech Merle ), de Gastronomie, d'Art décoratif ( manufacture Virebent à Puy l'Eveque ... très addictive ..., magnifiques tapisseries de la collégiale de Montpezat de Quercy, Château de Cénevières, tellement d’endroits à découvrir et ne pouvant tout citer...) , ou encore d'Humour (Montcuq en Quercy Blanc) , et si vous cherchez en complément la sérénité, c'est impérativement une région qu'il faut choisir :) !

1 semaine dans le Quercy
Nous avons séjourné 1 semaine dans cette magnifique région ou le bâti très ancien est mis en valeur ici à Cahors et aussi à 100 km à la ronde. Le gîte est bien situé dans la vieille ville et entourée de grande bâtisse, un petit jardin intérieur avec en ce mois de mai de beaux arbustes odorants qui nous ont ravis. Le gîte est comme indiqué intéressant pour 2 personnes et 1 troisième qui devra se contenter d'un lit divan, un bémol, est la baignoire-douche dans la salle de bain, La propriétaire est charmante et nous à transmis les endroits à visiter absolument.
