About the home

Situated just 3kms from the river Dordogne, Bellevue a former Wine Domaine is bordered by vines and provides spectacular views over the surrounding countryside and valley.

Ideal for families La Grange, our cottage/gite has its own garden with furnished patio area and BBQ for relaxed living, and overlooks the 12 x 6m swimming. The pool is alarmed and the area around it is fenced and gated to minimise the risks to small children making it a relaxing and fun place to spend the day.

From breakfast in the morning sun to dinner overlooking the pool, the patio is a wonderful alfresco dining area and just as good during the day for a coffee or a glass of the very local wine.

The Aquitaine / Dordogne / Dordogne region

Historically the department of the Dordogne was created in 1790 taking its name from the main river winding through the region. Before that time this same area was known as Perigord and is still known thus today. The Perigord is divided into four regions, and our area is called the Perigord Pourpre or PurplePerigord, taking its name from this wine-growing region. Wine tasting opportunities are plentiful and difficult to resist! St Emilion just 35kms is always worth a visit not only for it's wine but also for it's medieval buildings.

The pace of life here takes its rhythm from the River Dordogne as it gently winds its way to Bordeaux.; a fast and vibrant city one hour's drive to the west, with its 18c architecture and excellent city shopping. Here, however, the countryside is picturesque, the traffic is minimal, and there are chateaux to visit, caves to explore and medieval walled towns and villages to visit.

Spring arrives early here with mild sunny days in March and April gently easing into May and June's very warm long hours of sunshine and light evenings that seem to stretch on for ever. Then Summer arrives in a blast of heat with rising temperatures allowing outdoor acivities their full potential. Summer markets are everywhere and even the smallest of villages has an annual free firework display. The region holds an annual Felibree festival on the first weekend in July which draws 25,000 visitors each year for a journey into the Dordogne's romantic past and the Occitan language (langue d'Oc). It takes place in a different town every year and for 2009 it is at Beaumont du Perigord just 1 hour away.

Throughout the day visitors can discover traditional trades from the region where the langue d'Oc is spoken, such as basket-making and clog-making. Everywhere there are colourful traditional costumes and dancing in the streets which are decorated with thousands of flower garlands. It is an event not to be missed.

The Bergerac / Ste Foy la Grande area

Bergerac has quaint old streets to explore, enticing small restaurants and bars to discover, and museums..You can also take a boat trip on one of the traditional gabares, a flat bottomed craft used originally for trading up and down the Dordogne

Visit nearby Chateau Monbazillac built in 1550 to discover its history and at the end of the visit enjoy a relaxing wine tasting. Monbazillac is golden, smooth with a heady aroma and is best enjoyed chilled as an aperitif or perhaps with a rather 'wicked' dessert.

French markets are renowned for their fresh produce and Ste Foy la Grande has one of the top 100 in France.
The produce is fresh, local and has endless possibilities for a picnic, BBQ, something cold and delicious or maybe a traditional meal. Accompanied by the local wines, this means preparing sumptuous and memorable meals is an effortless pleasure.

Local activities in the area are numerous. Try your hand at canoeing, quad biking, jet skiing, paintball, tennis, horse riding the list is endless.

At the Lac de Gurson just 15kms away through wooded countryside you can spend all day lakeside 'on the beach'. There is a giant water slide numerous small restaurants and bars, horse riding and an activity path around the lake.

Castillon la Bataille is just half an hour's drive to the west. From mid-July to mid-August 800 medieval re-enactors bring to life the last major battle of the Hundred Years War in a captivating two-hour spectacle, filled with stunts, special effects and explosive expertise.

SUMMER 2010

What can we say, a wonderful holiday in fantastic accommodation, surrounded by lovely countryside and views. The pool was great and we spent many a lazy afternoon soaking up the rays here! We enjoyed trips to St. Emilion, lovely town, great shops and lovely restaurants; Lac de Gurson with great beach and swimming; Canoeing for two and a half hours on the Dordogne, an experience not to be missed!; Duras, the castle and quaint restaurants and wine tasting - again not to be missed!.
All in all a wonderful holiday. Sorry to be going home!
Bruce & Lesley Clarkson

We have enjoyed a relaxing holiday in this beautiful and tranquil setting. Lovely house and pool with lots of safe playing area for Anastasia (aged 16 months). Weather perfect and we have been able to have all our meals outside on the patio. So many beautiful and interesting places to visit within easy driving distance. We particularly enjoyed the Castle at Duras. Our thanks to Alan and Felicity for their help and advice.

We all had a wonderful week here in La Grange. Very impressed with the house and the area - the pool was the icing on the cake. Plenty to do and these are some of our highlights. St. Emilion was a must visit - a wine lovers paradise! Monbazillac was 'absolument' fab, and definitely the canoeing on the Dordogne, even for the novice - one and a half hours is plenty of time. Take advantage of the barbecue and local food and wine.
All in all a fantastic holiday. Thanks to Felicity and Alan - hope to see you again!

Once again our thanks to Felicity and Alan for their welcome and most importantly, their friendship.
As always, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The weather has been very kind to us, thus enabling the 'Garden Gnomes' to carry out one or two projects!!
We look forward to our visit next year.

Very enjoyable stay. the children thoroughly enjoyed the swimming pool, swings and playing boules and badminton. The outside playing facilities were fantastic for the children - safe and secure. Had great trips out, especially the wine tasting!! (Chateau Laulerie).
Lovely helpful hosts - Thank you
Johnson & Shelmerdine Families.

Wat a lovely place. Well organised but natural. Involvement and privacy. A nice and comfortable house with a clean swimming pool. An excellent climate which even follows Alan's weather forecasts! and every night the impressive silence! (the moments that neither the wind nor the animals moved). No need to spend so much words to it - just experience it.
We thank Alan and Felicity for their hospitality.
Family van Noort, Netherlands

We have had a lovely, relaxing holiday. We enjoyed Lac de Gurson and canoeing from Port Ste Foy. We had a fantastic meal at Au Fil de l'Eau on our last night.
Wish we could bottle the view and take it home with us!
Thank you Felicity and Alan
