More steps lead up to the huge and spacious double loft areas, which could be converted to provide more accommodation (subject to necessary permissions).
The history of the property is in evidence on this level, where an overhanging gallery can be seen with an openwork floor, used to drop projectiles or burning material onto assailants.

Outside in the private, well-landscaped garden, there is a 9 X 4m swimming pool with a telescopic cover.
Magnificent views along the river Lot can be enjoyed from here.
