About Loupiac
Loupiac sits roughly halfway between Brive and Cahors, in a small valley at the edge of dry causse country, and the commune is part of the Causse de Gramat, the largest and wildest of the four limestone causses of Quercy. Its nickname is the village of 55 pigeonniers, after the stone dovecotes around the commune, and there is a château too, along with old wells, bread ovens, springs and wayside crosses. Nearly half the land is woodland and much of the rest is meadow; beef cattle are the main farming. The A20 motorway and the RN20 both cross the commune. The homes are grouped together in one spot, so this is a stay built around the pool and day trips.
