The house borders the ancient Double forest which also contains (5-10mins drive) the national park at La Jemaye featuring a large sandy beach-lake with restaurant, cafes, childrens play area etc. The nearest town is Riberac (5-10 mins) with restaurants, cafes, banks, supermarkets, garages, pharmacy and a lively Friday market. The Dordogne is a beautiful and peaceful area of undulating farmland criss-crossed by wide, slow rivers and spectacular steep limestone valleys, riddled with caves, many containing world-famous prehistoric paintings. The region is dotted with small towns and villages, all typically French in character. This area has been inhabited since prehistoric times and there is a wealth of sites and monuments to visit e.g. Aubeterre (15mins). You can just relax and spend the day swimming in the many lakes and rivers, cycling through the quiet lanes or walking the marked footpaths. The whole region is dotted with chateaux and vineyards, many of which are open to visitors.
