This house of character is set in the midst of rolling countryside, near the small village of Vanxains, 5 Kms from the market town of Riberac, in the Perigord Vert region of the Dordogne. The surrounding area is often transformed in summer when the sunflowers are at their best. Some parts are heavily wooded and there are lovely lake or river beaches where bathing is safe, and pedalos or canoes and kayaks can be hired.
Riberac offers many facilities including supermarkets, banks, tennis courts, restuarants and bars, and on a Friday morning the main square is a hive of activity when there is a busy and colorful market, where fresh local produce can be bought.
There are many historic sites to visit just a short drive away, Aubeterre with its Monolithic church, Brantome and Bourdeilles known as the Venice of the Dordogne, St Emilion famous the world over for its wines, and the Pre historic caves and sites in the River Valleys in the South of the Dordogne.
