The Swimming Pool:
Pretty gardens and trees surround and shield the large pool (11mx12m), which has a sophisticated filtration system giving clear water that is virtually chemical free and should not irritate the eyes. The tiled sun terrace has ample lounging furniture, tables, chairs and parasols. The pool is equipped with an alarm, which conforms to French safety regulations. Table tennis is also available.
Attractions/ Events:
The cottages provide a perfect location for a peaceful and picturesque holiday amongst the vines. However, the amenities and attractions of the beautiful Dordogne Valley and the vineyards of St Emilion and Bordeaux are within easy reach. The pre-historic caves at Les Eyzies and Lascaux are interesting, whilst the ancient towns of Sarlat and Bordeaux are well worth a visit. The local railway line runs from Bordeaux through St Emilion, Ste Foy la Grande and Bergerac to Sarlat.
The summer season in the Dordogne offers a huge number of events and Bergerac hosts many ranging from a four day open air festival culminating in a magnificent firework display on 14th July to a regular evening market, concerts, jazz and art exhibitions. Many of the smaller towns, such as Eymet have a weekly evening market where it is possible to wander around, choose supper from one of the stalls, wine from another, find a table, sit down and enjoy the street entertainment.
