Local Attractions
Frayssinet-le-Gélat is located in the department of Lot and we are only 5 kilometres from the Dordogne. The Lot area is famous for its beautiful villages, traditional food markets, vineyards, caves and restaurants and is an excellent location to visit the famous towns of Cahors, Rocamadour and Sarlat-le-Caneda, to name but a few! In addition, for those who enjoy outdoor activities there is so much to do locally including water and adventure parks, horse riding, canoeing, cycling, walking, fishing, as well as visiting historic caves, medieval towns, churches and castles.
The beautiful, quiet village of Frayssinet-le-Gélat is 1.5km from Malbernat and can be reached via a leisurely stroll through the woods. The local bar / restaurant serves delicious traditional foods. An artisan baker provides freshly baked breads/croissants and cakes and the village shop sells all the basics alongside many different cheeses, meats and wines from the area. A small lake (Plan D’Eau) is found on the way to the village, as well as an alfresco bar serving homemade burgers, steaks, moules frites and omelettes, as well as crêpes and ice creams.
Cazals is the nearest market town (10 mins drive) which has a lively outdoor market every Sunday morning throughout the year. There is a small supermarket for essentials, as well as a tourist information office, baker, butcher, pharmacy and a bank. The larger town of Prayssac is 15mins drive away and has two bigger supermarkets (both with petrol stations and electric charging points), a good variety of shops, banks and pharmacies. Throughout the year, there is an excellent outdoor local food market every Friday morning which is renowned for being the best in the area. Both towns have a great choice of cafés, restaurants and bars.
