The beauty of this area is the diversity of attractions and things to
do and see. Of course there is the French cuisine to suit all tastes and
pockets, the fine wines with numerous free wine tasting locations. The
very many chateaux are a must for those with historical interest as are
the Bastide towns that are famous in our area. If its taking in the
French ambiance that attracts you, our nearest small town of Eymet
is
ideal. In the centre of this Bastide town you will find a delightful
square full of restaurants, shops and bars where, as well as the
tourists, the locals spend many hours watching the world go by. Also we
have three excellent golf courses nearby (Les Vigiers 10 mins), canoeing
on the River Dropt and several tennis courts only minutes away. However,
if it’s shopping and activity you are looking for Bergerac is our
nearest large town (20 minutes away) which is also a definite must for
visitors. Bergerac has everything to offer with an aqua park, ten-pin
bowling, go carting etc., Its new part is vibrant, colourful and busy
with shops of every description. The old majestic buildings tower above
their shoppers and there is a magnificent fountain in front of the Palais du Justice.
In contrast the old town with its cobbled streets, ancient, tilting
buildings has an ambiance which will charm all who care to meander
leisurely. There are restaurants at every turn to suit every taste and
the River Dordogne is just a two-minute walk. Whether you enter Bergerac
over the old bridge or the new bridge you will be so pleased you visited
this old, old town.
