La Petite Jatinga
About the home
If you are looking for a beautiful holiday home in the heart of French culture then look no further......This centrally heated gite is situated in a beautiful rural setting with splendid views looking towards the historic village of Cadouin (0.5km).
Cadouin is an attractive small village a few kilometres south of the river Dordogne, situated between Bergerac and Sarlat.
Cadouin itself boasts a magnificent 12th century abbey, hotel, restaurants, many local artisans, tourist information centre and boulangerie.
Cadouin is best known for its Abbey which was built in 1115. The Abbey became a major pilgrim destination in the Middle Ages because of a piece of cloth thought to be part of the shroud of Jesus Christ. In the 1930s the cloth was found to date from the 12th century but the abbey still attracts lots of visitors. The main attraction now is its beautiful gothic cloister and carved chapters.
Cadouin Abbey is now listed as a World Heritage Site with UNESCO as part of the pilgrimage route to Compostella.
Bergerac airport is an easy 30 minutes drive away and medieval Sarlat is a 25 minute drive.
The many Chateaux and Bastide towns of the Dordogne are all within a short drive.

Guestbook for La Petite Jatinga
Just to say that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at La Petite Jatinga.The cottage is delightful and beautifully situated.We could not think of anything you had missed even down to putting your little library into alphabetical order by author's name.We thought the village of Cadouin was charming and loved the wonderful Monday evening market which arrived in the village square with eveything possible for eating and drinking and enjoyed joining in with the locals at the tables and chairs which filled the village square and even excellent musical entertainment in the form of a small band and female singer who entertained everyone until the early hours.Only wish we had realised how good the food would be and we would not have had our meal before going.
As this was our first foray into 'Gite Life' we were delighted with everything about the cottage and found it difficult to leave when our time was up.
Thank you for letting us stay at your cottage and I'm sure those coming after us will enjoy its beautiful presentation and situation and have a delightful holiday as we did.
Thank you again
Yours
E McD.
"We had such a lovely time in Cadouin. The children all thoroughly enjoyed themselves and we found the house every bit as beautiful (if not more so) than on the website". AA
