Wildlife & Photography holidays
Laclavayrie wildlife & photographic holidays are located in beautiful countryside overlooking the village of Frayssinhes 3 miles from the picturesque town of St Céré & close to the Dordogne valley in the Lot department of southern France. We specialise in friendly wildlife & photography holidays where everything is tailored uniquely for you.
As keen wildlife watchers & photographers ourselves we share our local knowledge to suggest or take you to the best places to view or photograph our wonderful wildlife, scenery & landscapes.
All our holidays are individually tailored so just let us know where your photographic interests lie & we will arrange everything for you. We have plenty for you to photograph from the dramatic mountains & valleys of Cantal to the limestone plateau, gorges, valleys & rivers of the lot & Dordogne. We also have beautiful villages, historic châteaux, curiosities & architecture all beautifully lit at night as well as an abundance of wildlife.
This is a quiet unspoilt region with the limestone plateaux of the Causse to the west & the volcanic mountains of Cantal to the east. To the north & south of us are two of France's most beautiful river valleys the Dordogne & the Lot. The area is heavily wooded with steep gorges & valleys interspersed with traditional meadows & orchards.
Farming methods here are very traditional with sheep grazing on the Causse giving way to cattle on the lush pastures of the Cantal. The abundance of woodland & traditional hay meadows full of wild flowers makes this an ideal habitat for butterflies & other wildlife such as red squirrel, pine martin, dormice, deer, foxes, badgers, bats, lizards, frogs, toads, newts, dragon & damselflies, numerous different species of butterflies & far too many species of birds to list.
The St Céré area also has a wealth of cultural events, exhibitions, festivals & of course the ever popular French markets. We also have lots of other outdoor or sporting activities to offer with an excellent Golf course just 6km away at the Château de Montal plus canoeing on many local rivers including the Dordogne, swimming, horse riding, fishing, tennis, walking, cycling or even rock climbing.
After a busy day take a dip in our swimming pool & relax on the terrace or why not pamper yourself & enjoy a relaxing massage in the comfort of your room (your host Maureen is a fully qualified masseuse!)
