About the home

Le Terme Haut, which comprises the Main Farmhouse and a converted Barn, is part of a tiny rural hamlet set amongst neighbouring fields, farms and vineyards, with beautiful distant views of the valley of the river Dropt. Very well located in an area famous for its 13th century Bastide towns with their charming arcaded central squares, it is just 5 km from Eymet, 18km from Bergerac airport, and 1 and a half hours from Bordeaux.

The property, which has immense character and charm, is set in a one acre garden.Owned by an English family for the last 30 years, it is tastefully furnished with antiques, paintings, and oriental rugs. Recently refurbished, it is equipped to a high standard including WiFi Broadband internet access, three English satellite tvs (free sat), and a wine cooler in the Main House kitchen.

The garden is delightful for children and adults alike. The old stone buildings with their red Dordogne tiles, the original bread oven, the two wells (fully secured) and the cherry orchard take you back in time. You can dine alfresco under the vine, or relax by the large private pool (heated for a supplementary payment and with electric security cover) from where there are beautiful views down the valley. There is also a building housing a large Games Room with table football, pool table, 42" flatscreen English satellite (free sat) tv and DVD.

The Main House provides spacious accommodation for 8 plus an infant, and the Barn sleeps 2 adults and 2 children. We are flexible over group size. We can let the whole property for up to 10 or 12, or the Main House on its own. In the latter case, the Barn would not be occupied so you would still have EXCLUSIVE USE of all facilities.

Besides being wonderful cycling and walking country, golf, tennis, horse riding, fishing and canoeing are all available within the vicinity. There are chateaux and wine tasting, good restaurants, colourful weekly markets, and summer festivals, and of course, foie gras, for which the area is famous.

The Aquitaine / Dordogne / Dordogne region

The Dordogne is a region of Aquitaine in South West France named after the Dordogne river. Locally in France, however, it is still known by its ancient name of Perigord. A varied and beautiful region, it has been assigned colours to describe its different areas. The south east area around the medieval town of Sarlat is known as Perigord Noir (Black) on account of its thick oak forests.

The limestone area around Perigeux is known as Perigord Blanc (White). To the north are the meadowlands and woods of Perigord Vert ( Green). The famous wine growing area around Bergerac, where we are based, is known as Perigord Pourpre (Purple) on account of the abundance of its grapes.

The region is world famous for its pre-historic caves and cave paintings. The incredible animal cave paintings at Lascaux are accessible for a day’s visit from the property (127km), (book in advance). Lascaux 1 had to be closed to visitors, but the Lasceaux 11 caves house such exact replicas of the paintings that you would never know the difference.

The area is known for its fascinating medieval towns and chateaux, its beautiful landscape and outdoor activities, its gastronomy (this is the home of truffles and foie gras) and restaurants.

The Bergerac / Eymet area

This corner of the Dordogne is famous for its 13th century 'Bastide' towns with their charming arcaded central squares and medieval and renaissance architecture. Many are within very easy reach , including Issigeac, Villa Real, Monflanquin and the most perfect of all, Monpazier. (Here you can also see beautiful hand blown glass being made). You can also visit the imposing and atmospheric medieval Chateau de Biron set high on a hill near Monpazier.

Eymet, our local small town set on the River Dropt, is a very attractive example of Bastide architecture. It has all types of shops, restaurants, cafes, two supermarkets, and a good medical centre with English speaking doctors. There are colourful market days in local towns offering an abundance of cheeses, pates, conserves, local wines, fruit and vegetables. (Don't miss the Issigeac Sunday market). The delightful market in Eymet has taken place every Thursday since the 13th century. The area is also a centre for the production of Foie Gras.

There is a scenic route (D107) to Bergerac which is on the Dordogne river. Bergerac has a beautifully restored centre with old stone and half-timbered houses. Nearby is the impressive Chateau Monbazillac which was built in 1550 and is famous for its desert wines. Many good local wines are produced in the Bergerac area, and at the 'Cave' in the square in Eymet, they will be happy to advise you in English. The fascinating hill town of St Emilion, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with its famous vineyards and fascinating museum of ancient pottery is only an hour’s drive away, while Bordeaux is about one and a half hours.

We can advise you on the many excellent restaurants in the area. There are also concerts and fetes during the summer months. Details can be found at the information centre in the central square in Eymet, and in Bergerac.

Outdoor Activities

There are bicycles, tennis courts, and canoes for hire in Eymet. Canoes can also be hired on the Dordogne river. If you fancy a round of golf, there is an 18 hole course at Monestier 30 minutes drive from the property, and also at Villeneuve Sur le Lot.
