Just a few paces away from the house, you will find a charming local village with a number of amenities. There is a grocery shop, a bakery, a tennis court and a children’s playground here, meaning you can pick up your morning pastries without needing to set off on a long car journey. Also in the local area, you can go out for a walk or a bike ride through the quiet country lanes, visit a family-run vineyard to taste the famous wines or visit Chateau de Rastignac which is a historic palatial home.
This area is dotted with many more lovely villages such as Montignac which is 12km away. This is an idyllic village, nestled on the banks of the Vézère River, this is a great place to stroll around, looking out over the stone bridge and pottering around the pretty, artisan shops and 14th century buildings. The village is also well-known for being home to The Lascaux Caves which are a collection of pre-historic caves filled with cave paintings.

As well as the wide array of smaller villages and towns, the Dordogne is home to Sarlat-la-Canéda, often called Sarlat. This medieval town is 35km away and is a haven for foodies as it is a well-known gastronomical centre. If you are looking for a quintessential historic French town to visit, then Sarlat should be top of your list as the atmospheric centre has it all. The town is a maze of stunning 14th century streets which have been beautifully preserved. The town is named as a ‘town of art and history’, therefore visitors will be able to see ancient churches, the 17th century town hall and the castle-like Manoir de Gisson, all constructed in honey coloured limestone.

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.

The house was perfect
The house was perfect, beautiful surroundings, beautiful garden and spacious house. The gites were nice for the young couple who stayed with us with a 4-month-old baby. The owner is a very sweet and helpful man and we enjoyed his delicious bottles. I give the house a score of 11 out of 10. perhaps a small recommendation to place other knives with the cutlery, as we only had steak knives and they are difficult to use. Recommended for guests with dogs.

Beautiful house
We have indeed been back for a week and really enjoyed the house. We were also very lucky with the weather so that was nice too.
The contact with the landlord was excellent and everything was clear and he was on the doorstep within a few minutes if there were any questions.
The bakery in the village was a very big plus. Still nicer to be able to go to the bakery on foot than to have to sit in the car for 20 minutes.
The fact that you can reach your destination very quickly from the highway is also very pleasant.
The area is also very beautiful, but of course you know that. This house is definitely on the list to book again.
Thanks again for this beautiful house and the good guidance in the process, also for the cancellation for my parents.

Maison de Mures is a delightful property
Maison de Mures is a delightful property in a beautiful quiet village. The house is well equipped, comfortable, stylish, and clean. We particularly loved the pool, which was the perfect temperature, and the covered veranda with its gas BBQ and big table for outdoor dining. La Bachellerie is close to some stunning places to visit, such as Saint-Leon.Sur-Vesere where you will find Le Petit Leon, a restaurant which really ought to be Michelain starred because the food is so good! The local Epicerie in La Bachellerie has a depot de pain, and the croissants are all-butter and delicious, and the shop stocks a fantastic range of goods considering it is quite a small space. We even found Almond Milk, and the staff were friendly and helpful. We highly recommend the house, and the area. Thank you, we had a great stay at your place.
