Home description
Le Pecheur cottage nestles in a delightful hamlet named Le Pech, 1 mile from Beynac and 5 miles from Sarlat.
Le Pech, perched on one of the most beautiful edges of the Perigord Noir, offers a panoramic view of the Dordogne valley, dotted with the medieval castles of Beynac, Les Milandes, Feyrac and Marqueyssac. Le Pecheur cottage and the other 2 cottages (adverts 7449 & 16081) are recently and traditionally restored with old stone-tiled roofs, stone built walls, exposed beams and original fireplaces,...
If you're a group friends, the cottages (50 meters part) can be rented jointly allowing everyone to be together whilst remaining independent. For nature lovers and for those who appreciate the authentic rural life, Le Pech is a peaceful place where the sound of goats’ bells or a donkey braying in the Pêcheur Cottage’s field will tempt you out for a long walk along the nature trail running through the hamlet (see our website for more photos and information & fully descrption hereafter).

The Aquitaine / Dordogne / Dordogne region
The Dordogne, or the Périgord as it is known by the French, is one of the most beautiful regions in France. The Périgord Noir, which derives its name from the black truffles found here and its walnuts, is to be found in the triangle of Sarlat, Domme and Les Eyzies, cut through by the Dordogne and Vézère rivers. The Périgord Noir is a stunning mixture of prehistoric caves hidden in tree-covered valleys and medieval castles dating from the 100 years war. You cannot fail to be impressed by the number and variety of castles that there are to visit, as well as the multitude of cavemen dwellings and underground sites.
The Périgord Noir is also famous for its cuisine. You can expect some form of duck on every menu, either the famous duck or goose liver (foie gras) or “confit de canard” or the lighter “magret de canard”. You should try the truffles, whose farming grounds are kept a very close secret by the truffle hunters, and also the cèpes, a very tasty form of mushroom. And to accompany it all, wine from the nearby Bordeaux or Bergerac regions, preceded by a walnut wine to get the juices flowing. Don’t expect to go home lighter than when you set off…
Beynac area
The medieval village of Beynac is dominated by its spectacular castle, which overlooks the Dordogne valley, giving an unrestricted view over many miles of countryside, dotted with castles. The village itself clings to the steep hillside below and is an extraordinary sight to behold. You will find restaurants, antique shops, a post office, a bread shop and, more recently, a small grocery store at the foot of the hillside, beside the river, and you can also take a traditional boat along the Dordogne from Beynac to discover the other castles that line this part of the river. Given its location, halfway between St-Cyprien and Sarlat, Beynac is an ideal departure point for exploring the many tourist attractions of the Périgord Noir.

Guestbook
From UK, August 2005 – Le Pecheur (see other testimonials on our website (guest book section)
Dear Caroline and Didier,
Many thanks for this. We shall sort out the paperwork shortly. We were really thrilled with Le Pech and hope to come back many more times. You have done the houses with such good taste. (It is amazing what one encounters in some gites/cottages over the years ...) We haven't had our photos developed yet but will send you anything of interest. We hope you will be able to resist the calls for satellite TV. When we are in the Dordogne, we all definitely benefit by having a break from our decadent London habits. We still haven't given up hope of getting Henry to learn some French one of these days. I am sure he made headway this summer while watching Qui veut gagner des millions.
We hope your move continues to go well. Shall be in touch soon (and hope we may see you next summer).
Best wishes, Charles and Cath
