The Surrounding Area:
In this part of the Dordogne we are surrounded by lots of history, lots of beautiful countryside and there is as much or a little to do as one wants. There are many Bastide towns, all of which hold a special charm of their own. The food offered is from a simple salad, omelette or snack through to the full blown French cuisine at it's best. The restaurants are in abundance with each village having it's own eating house. The numerous chateaux are of interest of most holiday makers with the majority offering free wine tasting at any time.
For any guests interested in golf we have an excellent 18 hole golf course some 15 minutes away at the beautiful old Chateau Les Vigiers. Additionally two other golf courses are not too far away. For those with children, Bergerac (only 15 mins away) has a delightful bowling alley where drinks and snacks are on hand. Next to the alley there is a crazy golf course and behind that an Aqua Park to while away the very hot summer days.
Mums can escape for a couple of hours as two minutes away from the aforementioned activities is the main huge supermarket (L'Eclerc) which is a bit different from the UK supermarkets. Visiting their fish, cheese and fruit and vegetable sections is well worth the effort. L'Eclerc is surrounded by smaller shops, all worth a browse. Bergerac centre is certainly not to be missed with plenty of restaurants, street entertainers and for those wishing more retail therapy, is a must.
