Les Prinquieres can be found approximately 5 miles from Gourdon, which is the capital of the countryside called Le Bouriane in the region of Quercy, neighbouring the Périgord, whose sloping hills gently unfold to the banks of the Dordogne. Surrounded by tourist sites among the most famous in France: Sarlat and the Eyzies to the North; Rocamadour to the East;
Cahors to the South. The city of Gourdon boasts many fine attractions of its own. More than one visitor has fallen in love with the medieval charm of its narrow streets, its serene countryside and hamlets dotted by the stone shepherd’s cottages typical of this area.
Gourdon is arranged in tiers around the top of a hill. There are many shops and restaurants on the main street and also along the avenues up to the top of the hill, from where there is a magnificent view of the surrounding countryside. Gourdon has several supermarkets and a street market most Tuesdays and every Saturday morning.
Our local village is Fajoles, which is very small but boasts a Norman church, definitely worth paying a visit. In the months of July and August there is a market in Fajoles on a Sunday morning, the stalls are mostly local farmers and consist of fruit & veg, wine, cheese, bread, you can buy a drink of Sangria, locally made, and chat to the locals as this tends to be very popular. On occasion, when the market ends at 12pm, the trestle tables and benches are laid out for you to sit and eat lunch and drink a bottle of wine, all purchased at the market, to the accompaniment of local musicians, this can last for quite a few hours and is great fun and open to all.
The Grotte de Cougnac is just 3 miles from Les Prinquieres. These caves are well known for their natural rock formations and their Palaeolithic rock paintings (similar to those of the more famous Pech Merle and Lascaux caves) of goat like animals, mammoths, extinct long horned deer and human figures.
