Feather Down Ferme de Vanadal: Eco-lodges & farm tranquility in the Lot
Nestled in the unspoiled Parc Naturel Régional des Causses du Quercy lies Ferme de Vanadal: a small-scale farm campsite where peace, nature, and simplicity come together. The five comfortable Eco-Lodges form an intimate eco-village in the green woods, surrounded by characteristic stone walls. Here you live outdoors, but without sacrificing comfort: each lodge has a private hot tub and its own shower. Now that's truly enjoying the outdoor life! Children take care of the animals, parents enjoy the silence, campfires, and long evenings under the stars. Ferme de Vanadal is a place to slow down, recharge, and really spend time together.

Surroundings
Nature & Hiking in the Causses du Quercy
Ferme de Vanadal is located in the heart of a UNESCO Global Geopark, where rugged limestone plateaus, oak forests, and tranquil valleys alternate. From the farm, you can walk straight into nature: along old walls, through shady forests, and across open grasslands. The routes are accessible and varied, ideal for families with children as well as those seeking peace and quiet who want to enjoy true silence and space.
Adventure underground: Gouffre de Padirac
A visit to the Gouffre de Padirac is an unforgettable experience. Through a huge chasm, you descend into an impressive cave system, where you explore an underground river by boat. Stalactites, enormous chambers, and mysterious echoes make this a magical trip for young and old — perfect to combine with your stay at the farm.
Medieval charm in Saint-Cirq-Lapopie
A short drive away lies Saint-Cirq-Lapopie, one of the most beautiful villages in France. Narrow streets, half-timbered houses, and flower-filled terraces lead to stunning viewpoints over the Lot Valley. A wonderful place to stroll, enjoy an ice cream, or simply soak up the French atmosphere and history.
Water fun on and around the Lot river
The Lot river offers refreshment and relaxation on warm days. Go canoeing along green banks, gently float downstream, or find a quiet little beach to swim and dip your feet. The combination of nature, water, and small villages along the river makes this a pleasant and varied day trip for the whole family.

Benjamin and his partner gave us a very warm welcome; we stayed with them for one night on the Camino de Santiago. They treated us to a delicious meal. We had a great conversation with our host about his business and the products he makes. We placed an order and it was delivered on time. The products are excellent. We highly recommend the accommodation and the products without hesitation. Thanks again to Benjamin. See you soon, Agnès and Luc 😘

Pilgrim friends. Stop off at Benjamin's farm, well worth the detour. A magnificent place in the heart of nature. Benjamin offers canvas and wood Swedish lodges for the night, decorated in the old-fashioned style. Barbecues and local produce are also available. Benjamin is extremely warm and attentive to his guests. Half-board or overnight stays are available in his superb lodges. Come and discover his homemade beer. I highly recommend this place, which is close to the Camino de Mas de vers. A great experience.
