Map
Sanvensa is the nearest village two miles away which has a bakers, a bar restaurant, a wine merchant and a hairdressers. La Fouillade is five miles away and has an excellent bakers, two bars, a butcher, a general store and a new Intermarche supermarket. In July and August La Fouillade has a small Saturday market for local producers of food and wine.
Villefranche de Rouergue is eight miles away. It is a ‘Bastide Royale’ or fortified town built by Alphonse de Poitiers during the hundred years war. The centre has a wide selection of traditional shops and the unmissable Thursday market in Place Notre Dame. Local people and tourists alike flock into town to buy local produce or just to absorb the wonderful atmosphere. There are also three hypermarkets as well as other out of town large shops.
The local wines are Cahors, Gaillac and Marcillac as well as other smaller producers. There are many restaurants in Villefranche as well as four in Najac and one in St Andre de Najac less than eight miles away.

Ask a questionAbout Mr John Durance
I am a retired architect. My late wife Thelma and I purchased Les Portails in 1989 and have spent many weeks there over the past 30+ years. We have especially enjoyed entertaining friends and family to this tranquil spot in the French countryside.
Mr John Durance purchased this farmhouse in 1989
Why Mr John Durance chose Lunac
After spending a gite holiday near Najac we loved the area so much that it was the locality we chose to buy our own gite. Over thirty years, we have continuously improved and updated the house. I have carried out a major refurbishment of the swimming pool during 2020.
What makes this farmhouse unique
If you enjoy stargazing, birdsong, opportunities for adventure and exploration, history, geography, geology, or just lazing by a pool in beautiful surroundings....this is the place for you....my little bit of paradise on earth!
