Outdoor living at Gite-Les-Roches

Gite-Les-Roches is ideal for outdoor living. French doors from the living room open onto a large roof terrace, with long tables for dining throughout the day. From the terrace steps lead down to the fully enclosed swimming pool. The heated saltwater pool is surrounded on two sides by natural rock and the other two sides by a beautiful stone wall - high enough for privacy but low enough to fully enjoy the beautiful view. The pool is 10mx4m and the roman steps are perfect for children or toe-dippers. The pool can be floodlit at night. Around the pool there are sunloungers, chairs and tables on a stone terrace - an awesome suntrap. There is a poolside shower and a paddling pool for small children built into the rock. The gates to the pool are lockable for safety. Opposite the swimming pool there is an outdoor summer kitchen with all the facilities you will require whilst poolside or for dining. There is a BBQ, fridge, sink etc. Also at pool level is the sauna and shower/changing room

Activities in the Area

The area is famous for its wine, with Monbazillac, Pecharment, St Emillion to name a few and is also considered to be the gastronomic centre of France. There are restaurants to cater for all tastes and budgets. If you prefer to cook for yourselves, the local markets offer wonderfully fresh local produce. They are fantastic for a morning out, experiencing the french way of life. The Dordogne is steeped in history. From the prehistoric caves at Lascaux to the medieval chateaux and fortified bastide villages and towns. For those with more energy, the range of sports activities is great. There are a number of golf courses all within about 40 minutes drive. With the superb championship course at Chateau des Vigiers only a 15 minute drive away. The Dordogne and Vezere rivers offer canoeing, swimming or just lazing on one of the many beaches. There is fishing, horseriding, cycling, tennis all close by. There are lakes within 20 minutes drive, with sandy beaches, fishing and watersports.

How to get here

Les Roches is extremely accessible with Bergerac airport only 15 minutes drive away. There are daily low cost flights with Ryanair flying from Stansted and Flybe flying from Southampton and Bristol. Bordeaux airport is only about 90 minutes drive away, with Toulouse slightly further taking about 2 hours. There is car hire available at all the airports. We find that the most relaxing drive from the UK is from St Malo in about 6 hours, leaving Portsmouth with Brittany Ferries and throughout the summer they are doing night crossings both ways. Although it is not the cheapest ferry, it is a great way to start the holiday. A slightly longer drive is from Calais in about 9 hours. There are fast links by train by Eurostar (Waterloo/Ashford) with connections to Bergerac, Marmande and Libourne. Marmande is the quickest and is only 30 minutes away. You can also motorail to Brive which is approximately 2 hours drive away.

Other Activities Canoeing, Aquapark, gokarting, bowling
