To discover France is to fall hopelessly in love with a small village with it's labyrinth of cobbled streets and Romanesque church. It is to experience surprise at having taken a wrong turn and catching sight of a vast chateau in the distance. It is to be inspired by images which provide tangible proof that despite encroaching progress, nothing has really changed. Payrac is one of those villages. It is a comfortable base for exploring historic, rural France. The warm welcome of the villagers, the moderately priced renowned cuisine and wine, and the fact that English is spoken by many creates a relaxing, cultural getaway vacation. Payrac has a well-stocked supermarket, bakery, pharmacy, garage/gas station, physician, post office, restaurants, beauty shop and great tourist office, all within walking distance. The simplicity of village live has a timeless quality to it. Everyone should experience it at least once.

Ron & Jill...Vancouver

Dordogne/Lot Activities: The Dordogne region of France is known as the capital of pre-history and has a deserved reputation as one of Europe's most beautiful river valleys. The rivers are unspoiled and unpolluted. Everywhere you look there are great castles, fortified towns and villages, churches, extraordinary landscapes and forts built into cliffs. Whatever your interests the Dordogne will suit you. You'll never run out of things to do. If pre-history doesn't grab you, perhaps the 100 Years War will. The cliffs overhanging the rivers are lined with impressive castles dating from the 10th to 12th century. Canoeing, kayaking, hiking, nature walks, bicycling and horseback riding are popular sports. One of the best activities is eating and drinking. It's hard to find a bad meal. The region has earned the honor of gastronomic capital of France. Gliding down the Dordogne River admiring the castles looming above you and stopping on the river bank for picnic lunch is a great way to spend a day.

Other Activities: canoeing, kayaking, vide greniers, village festivals

A gem in the Dordogne area

Gail & Steve Essex, England
Review Submitted: August 24, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
Our 3rd trip to the region and definitely our best yet. We thought we knew what to expect but we were enchanted by our brief stay in Payrac - an experience greatly enhanced by the quality of the accommodation. "La Bouriane" provided us with a great insight to what life would be like in peaceful rural France - such a tempting idea. The accommodation is to a high standard, fully functional with all necessary mod-cons but retaining all the cottage charm the pictures suggest but don’t quite match up to.
The village itself is fully self-sufficient (butcher, baker and I’m sure the well stocked supermarket sells candles – it sells almost everything else!). Prices may be a little higher than the major chains but we found the convenience often out-weighed the minor price difference.
Payrac is well situated for exploring the Dordogne with as many venues as we could handle in 2 weeks within 20km of base – a car is essential (although for the healthy the odd cycle ride around the area will test the thighs – especially on the way back up to the village).
The owners live close by and after a comprehensive run through of what the accommodation has to offer remain very accessible and friendly for the odd query (and Wi-Fi broad-band connectivity to keep the kids happy).
There were 4 of us - Mum, Dad and 11 and 15 year old boys – we all had a great time exploring the area and chilling out in Payrac – I would recommend it to anyone.

Tranquil cottage in the lovely Lot

Tony from Montesson Montesson, Yvelines, France
Review Submitted: July 29, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
From the outset I had a good feeling about this house. Our initial enquires were answered quickly and comprehensively. Payment was efficient and painless.

When we arrived, we received a warm welcome from the landlady who gave us a very clear and comprehensive briefing on what to see and do. Everything in the house was "as advertised", only better. Everything was immaculately clean and in perfect working order. It was helpful to know the landlords were nearby in case of problems (there were none) but they were never intrusive.

The cottage is in the centre of the village but is quiet (even on 14th July!). The church bells ring on the hour (twice for some reason) from 07.00 to 10.00 but I seldom heard them before 10 a.m.

There is a nice area to site and eat on the patio at the back of the house. It is completely enclosed and private. The gas barbecue was put to a lot of use while we were there.

There are plenty of flowers and herbs to the front and rear of the house to make things look even more attractive.

There is a reasonable restaurant in the village. Self caterers are well served by the well stocked and friendly local supermarket (including an excellent butcher) only 2 minutes walk away. There's a boulangerie too. A pizza van calls on Thursday evenings.

This was a perfect base to visit the beautiful countryside and towns such as Gourdon, Rocamadour and Martel. We found a great lake to swim in near Gourdon. There were lifeguards there too. In this part of France, though, you really need your own transport.

This was a perfect house for all of us, including our two children aged 13 and 11. We had loads of space.

I would have no hesitation in recommending anyone to stay in this charming cottage in a beautiful part of our adopted country.
