The nearby village of Biron (5km) is mainly visited for its impressive castle but it’s also a delightful village to wander around admiring the pretty houses and gardens as you walk up from the church to the upper part of the village near Chateau Biron. A visit to the impressive chateau is a must due to its glorious views of the surrounding Dordogne countryside as well as the fascinating interiors which are open to visitors.

Head north-east is the famous town of Sarlat (62km) with its maze of medieval narrow streets, lovely squares and amazing restaurants or west to beautiful Bergerac (50km) with its medieval architecture, narrow streets of boutiques and great restaurants as well as the unmissable Maisons de Vins.
Other magical day trips include hiring canoes or having a picnic by the Dordogne river in Siorac (35km) and beautiful Limeuil (38km), where the Vézère meets the Dordogne and you can paddle by the river beach or enjoy some fine views from Parc Limeuil after wandering through the delightful village. In addition, follow the river east to to La Roque Gageac, Château de Beynac or Castelnaud-la-Chapelle, all within an hour or so, for a remarkable day out in the Dordogne.
The whole region is a true haven for nature and sport lovers alike offering a wide array of outdoor activities, from horse-back riding and to tennis, mountain-biking, golfing and watersports, not to mention the number of hiking and fishing opportunities in the area.

Region
The pace of life in the Dordogne is languid, laid back and positively infectious. Relax in bucolic beauty as you drift along the Dordogne River, or wander among the forests and hillside of the Périgord Natural Park.
The foodie scene too, is a relaxed affair. Take your time over your lazy lunches of local duck, black truffles and goats cheese. If you’re feeling energetic, you can even hunt for them yourself. The wine here is second to none, with infamous grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chenin Blanc all having a huge presence here.
The Dordogne is also brimming with history. Castles and chateaux are scattered throughout the region, among the enchanting medieval villages. History of an altogether more ancient sort can also be explored in the incredible prehistoric cave drawings of Lascaux and Grotte de Rouffignac.

Thoroughly enjoyed the stay!
