Cardaillac
 

Hi all,

Has anyone heard of this village?

It is outside Figeac on the road to Rocamadour.

Yes, it's just a few kilometers north of Figeac. It's a gorgeous medieval village, one of "les plus beaux villages de France."

Merci, St Cirq.

I am thinking of staying the night at the Chez Marcel Hotel.

Someone said it had a good restaurant.

Any thoughts?

Isn't that the only hotel in town? :)

I've just wandered around the town - never stayed or eaten there. I googled the hotel, though. I wouldn't stay there because I'm pretty allergic to cats and they accept animals and have only 5 rooms. The website I looked at said nothing about a restaurant, just a bar and terrace. But at 30 € for a room, it's certainly a bargain.

Figeac has some excellent restaurants, by the way, really excellent eating in that town!

Thanks for the reply St Cirq.

It is the only hotel in town. I've found 3 reports from people who stayed there and liked it.

Any hotel/restaurant recommendations in figeac?

If you get in trouble with the law while you are there, do they call it a "Cardaillac arrest"?

:P

bud-dum-dum

Are you off to France again soon, Ira?

There's one exceptional hotel/restaurant in Figeac, with prices to show for it: http://cgi.chateau-viguier-figeac.com/cgi-bin/news.pl

Then there is the Hôtel Champollion in the center of town. It's been quite a few years since we stayed there, but I remember the room was spacious, light-filled, and had lovely bedding.

And there's a Best Western - Le Pont d'Or - that we looked at years ago but never stayed in - that was very nice.

Two restaurants we've enjoyed in Figeac are La Puce à l'Oreille and Restaurant La Cuisine du Marché.

St Cirq,

Once again, many thanks.

Grandmere,
Just planning my next visit. Don't know if we will go in the Spring or the Fall of next year.
