Set in the Lot-et-Garonne countryside, La Metairie de Mespoule offers a rural escape with easy access to some of the region’s most captivating bastide towns and scenic landscapes. Tucked between Bergerac and the hilltop jewel of Monflanquin, the house enjoys a wonderful setting, surrounded by open farmland with rotating sunflower and maize fields.

Less than a 10-minute drive away, the pretty bastide town of Castillonnès provides essential amenities and historic charm. Its arcaded central market square bursts to life on Tuesday mornings, where fresh produce and local crafts fill the stalls. Wander its medieval streets to discover the graceful Église Saint-Pierre, the historic Porte de la Lune and the fascinating Museum of the Bastides. For further everyday needs, the thriving market town of Villeréal is just a little further, offering a choice of shops, bakeries and restaurants.

The area is a haven for walkers and cyclists, with meandering trails that link villages and vineyards through gentle hills and shaded woodland. One scenic route leads to the village of Issigeac, classified as one of France’s ‘Plus Beaux Villages’ and famous for its picturesque Sunday morning market.

Culture seekers can explore the majestic Château de Biron, perched dramatically above its namesake village, or discover pretty villages across the Périgord Pourpre such as medieval Eymet with its attractive riverside setting beside the Dropt. Don’t miss the two beautiful bastide villages of Monflanquin and Monpazier, both within half an hour.

For a change of pace, a day trip to the Dordogne River promises leisurely riverside dining, boat rides and lively markets in Bergerac, just half an hour by car, or the charming village of Limeuil, one of France’s ‘Plus Beaux Villages’, where the Vézère and Dordogne rivers meet. Closer to home, local vineyards offer intimate wine tastings in picturesque surroundings, a delightful way to sample the region’s celebrated vintages.

This location is a gateway to Southwest France’s authentic charms from historic bastides to the simple pleasures of rural life, making it a perfect base for a truly memorable escape.
