This is one of the most historically interesting areas of France and all the major attractions are within a short drive from the house. The banks of the river Dordogne have been inhabited since prehistoric times and the area played centre stage to many of the rivalries of the middle ages. The medieval towns of Sarlat, Rocamadour, Domme, Martel, Beynac and Castelnaud with their castles, picturesque markets and restaurants, are all within a short drive. The suspended gardens of Marqueyssac, the Padirac Abyss or the cave paintings of Lascaux are all worth a visit. The surrounding countryside offers many opportunities for walking, cycling and fishing. The banks of the river Dordogne can easily be reached by foot from the house for swimming and canoeing.
