Our second home in
Saint-Martin-de-Vers, Lot, France

|
Since March 2004, we have owned a house in France, in the little village of Saint-Martin-de-Vers, near Cahors in the Lot department. In the picture above, it's the small house at the right (not the big tower - that's the village church, whish was fortified during the Hundred Years' War). In the photo below, our house is at the far left (but is mostly invisible behind a tree). |
Our goal was to find a house we could use as a base for future visits to France and the rest of Europe, spending half the year there and the other half in California. We spent the summer of 2009 in St-Martin-de-Vers, with trips that included Belgium, Burgundy, Auvergne, the Pyrenees, the Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts, and the Loire valley, returning to California in late October. |

| Below is the house from the back garden (which obviously needed a lot of work). The ground floor includes a bedroom, utility/storage area, bathroom and wc; there also is a separate work and | storage room under the porch. The main living area (salon and corner kitchen) is on the level with the porch. On the upper floor under the eaves, there is a second bedroom. |
