    Tranquil and quaint.

    Lovely time spent here, relaxing and quiet area. Owners have good knowledge of the area of where to eat, what to do etc. We didn’t use the bikes but we did use the canoes and what a great time that was paddling down the Dordogne.

    Beautiful, peaceful and very comfortable stay near Sarlat

    About the neighbourhood
    Sarlat is a few kilometres north of the River Dordogne. It is a medieval town that developed around a large Benedictine abbey of Carolingian origin. Because modern history has largely passed it by, Sarlat has remained preserved and one of the towns most representative of 14th century France. The centre of the old town consists of impeccably restored stone buildings and is largely car-free.Sarlat is a pleasure to walk around, especially during the spring and autumn, or early in the morning. If you can catch the early morning sunshine on the yellow sandstone buildings, so much the better.
    How to get there
    Our gites are easily accessible from Australia, USA, Canada, New Zealand or the UK. One option is to fly into Paris and then on to Bergerac, Bordeaux, Brive or Toulouse by train, plane or car. There are direct flights to Brive, Bergerac, Limoges and Toulouse from the UK. If you choose to drive from Paris it takes about 5 hours and is mainly on the motorway. The drive from Brive airport is approximately 40 minutes, Bergerac is about an hour and 15 minutes and from Bordeaux and Toulouse takes between 2 and 3 hours and again these routes are mainly motorway.
