Les Faures is 3km from the village of Le Fleix, which caters for everyday needs with its bakers, chemist, supermarket, post office and garage. The 'bastide' town of Sainte-Foy-la-Grande (10km) offers opportunities to walk along the banks of the Dordogne, to sample Périgord-style cuisine in its excellent restaurants and to visit its bustling Saturday market. Evening markets are also held in the months of July and August in Sainte-Foy and neighbouring towns, where you can sample 'moules et frites' from one of the many stalls. Les Faures is the perfect location to explore the Dordogne. Within easy reach are the historic towns of Bergerac, Périgueux and Sarlat, the city of Bordeaux and the prehistoric caves at Les Eyzies. For the wine lover, Château Monbazillac and the famous vignobles of St Emilion and Bordeaux are a must. Further afield, you can enjoy the Atlantic waves at the beaches of Arcachon and Lacanau or climb the Dune du Pyla, the highest sand dune in Europe.

Review Submitted: December 6, 2007 Date of Stay: December 2007
Les Faures is the perfect location to enjoy a rural French holiday. The cottage was very well equipped, comfortable and spotlessly clean. Plenty to do in the area for all ages. (Clarkson family, Basingstoke).

We were very impressed with the property and especially the pool - the perfect place to relax. (Peter and Hazel Macfarlane, Edinburgh).

We had a fabulous holiday here, soaking up the atmosphere and sampling local produce. The Guide for Guests file was excellent. Thank you. (Paul and Amanda Tormey, Shrewsbury).

Wonderful hospitality, accommodation, weather, food and, of course, wine. We'll be back! (Anne, Chris, Ben and Charlotte Thompson, Manchester).
