The Aquitaine / Dordogne / Dordogne region
Le Berme is situated on the border of the Dordogne and lot-et-Garonne, the 'Tuscany of France'. The area is well known for its hot summer climate, stunning countryside, vineyards, chateaux, medieval hilltop villages with their lively markets, brocants and summer fairs, and of course the local gstronomical specialities of foir gras, duck, prunes, and the locally produced domaine wines. There are championship standard golf courses within 1/2 hours drive. Le Berme offers a truly relaxing holiday in stunning landscaped gardens surrounded by woodland with many rare varieties of trees. Le Berme borders the 'grande randonnees' or pilgrims route, a well trodden path stretching from Belgium to Spain offering a number of marked routes for walking, horseriding or cycling. There is an abundance of wildlife including coypu, deer, green frogs, a variety of birds, hoopoe, red kite, eagle, buzzards, and our own resident long eared owls (Sep-April)

Guestbook
Perfect, just what we hoped for, complete privacy in a beautiful setting yet within easy reach of all the Dordogne and Lot tourist sites. We will definitely be coming to stay again, Bobby and Eleanor USA Le Berme is the ideal retreat . Seeing the 4 long-eared owl chicks at our last visit (5th time here) in the tree next to the gite was a very special experience Mary and Pete East Yorkshire
Thanks for an excellent stay. We'll definitely br recommending Le Berme, and will be back next year Kerry and Richard London
