The tiny hamlet of Teoules, about three kilometres from the main part of our commune, Bourran. It nestles in the lower parts of the hills running alongside the Lot Valley. In all directions you look out on to hill slopes of sunflowers, maize and cornfields. Bourran is just over a kilometre from the River Lot, close to the attractive and medieval village of Clairac.

Nearby is the village of Prayssas, an old hilltop village with a thriving marché-nocturne or evening market. When you visit, take a plate and some cutlery along with you and do as the locals do – buy your food at the many stalls (sliced foie gras, cooked meats, superb local cheeses, fruit, fresh bread etc), and eat it there and then using the tables, chairs and benches provided. Then wash it down with a pichet of local wine while being entertained by the local band and accordion player. Very pleasant, very “French”.

Almost anywhere you go in summer in this beautiful region there is something to see and do: bastide villages, brocantes, music festivals, vide greniers, daytime and evening markets, art exhibitions, fetes, wine tasting, chateaux, rivers, canals, lakes, boat rides, horse riding, cycling etc. as well as such things as theme parks, water parks, and cinemas (often with English language films). In summer, this “quiet little corner" of France is buzzing with activities and none of it is "laid on" for tourists. Here you will truly be participating in 'la vie de Gascogne" !
