There are numerous Chateaus here in the Dordogne however, Hautefort is one of the grandest and most elegant in the Dordogne. This is a perfect day out to indulge in history whilst rummaging in the antique shops or having lunch in the very pretty village of Hautefort.  All within only 40 mins from here.

These two towns are located along the Dronne River, just ten minutes apart from one another, and less than a half hour from us.  Each is worth a visit in its own right.  They are both amazingly pretty with historical interest and a wonderful place to amble around soaking up the atmosphere or enjoying a delicious lunch sitting by the river in one of their many restaurants.

For family fun and easy to navigate, shallow water and no rapids go to Brantôme!   

For a slightly more strenuous and longer canoe with deeper water and more rapids then head over to Corgnac! 

Approximately 20 minutes away is the Velo Rail – old railway tracks which have been converted for use with self-pedaling chariots.  Really worth a trip as it is rather unique!

Golf at Périgueux.  The 18 hole golf course is situated on the outskirts of Périgueux and is suitable for all levels, demanding for good players, fun for beginners.   A 9-hole compact course, a chipping zone and a driving range complete the playing facilities are also available.   On the banks of the Isle and the Beauronne rivers, everyone will appreciate this island of calm and greenery just 5 minutes from the historic centre of Périgueux.  

For the keen equestrian, we have a riding centre literally down the road.  Here you can take a gentle guided ride through the paths and forests surrounding the equestrian farm and typical of Périgord Vert, by an approved instructor.  Lessons are also provided for all ages and abilities.

Situated just a 1 hour 30 mins from us, you will find St. Emilion – an area best known for its exceptional wine.  If you want to visit a vineyard and experience the wine country of southwest France, this really is the place to go!  It is also, as you would expect, another very pretty town to leisurely amble around.

Alternatively, for those of you who enjoy freshwater swimming, we are inundated with lakes and highly recommend visiting our local swimming lake, Plan d’eau de Nantheuil.

Cycling is big business here in France and there are many opportunities to cycle - fast & furiously or a gentle family pedal around.  If you don't want to bring your own bikes, there are many places close by where you can hire them.  The Flow Vélo from Thiviers offers a lovely bike ride along a disused railway line - if you're feeling very adventurous, you can cycle all the way to the island of Aix in Charente-Maritime!
