Moulin Du Pit France
Holiday Home Rental Description
Only 15km from the Roman market town of Cahors, this restored water mill offers a relaxing and idyllic setting. Surrounded by meadows and woodlands, Le Moulin du Pit is located on a tributary of the River Vert, flowing into the River Lot. The grounds include 22 acres of landscaped gardens, a small stream, terraces and a 12x6m swimming pool. The 15th century stone Water Mill has been tastefully restored and furnished while losing none of its original character.
