Gîtes de France® - Le 111

Le 111 is a charming house steeped in history, ideally located in the heart of the medieval town of Martel. A witness to centuries past, it survived the Hundred Years’ War and still bears remarkable traces of its strategic role today: extending from the house, just below one of the bedrooms, is one of the ancient gates that once protected the town. This rare remnant lends the place an authentic and unique atmosphere. Furthermore, the new owners wanted to preserve the guesthouse’s character by keeping certain items from the former owner’s travels—notably to Africa and Qatar—which add a subtle touch of exoticism. Carefully renovated, the house offers a harmonious balance between modern comfort and old-world charm: stone walls, period-style rooms, and warm décor come together to create a welcoming setting. A small, intimate courtyard is perfect for enjoying meals al fresco. Ideally located just a stone’s throw from shops, restaurants, and cafés, Le 111 is the perfect starting point for exploring Martel’s medieval streets, its famous towers, and its market. The surrounding area also offers a variety of activities, including hiking, canoeing, and visits to iconic sites in the Lot and Dordogne regions: a stay that blends history, exploration, and a relaxed way of life. Stairs leading to the cottage: kitchen with dining area, first sleeping area with 1 bedroom (160-cm bed), a shower room, and a separate toilet.
