The property is situated close to the Gironde, Dordogne and Lot et Garonne borders, making it within easy driving distance of several Bastide towns and villages, as well as the medieval towns of Saint Emilion, Sarlat, Eymet and picturesque Bergerac, St Foy La Grande and Duras. Each have lively markets on different days of the week.

Restaurants in the vicinity are plentiful and during the summer season many of the villages have evening markets and festivals, varying from jazz and classical open air concerts to vide greniers (bric-a-brac fairs) and son et lumière events.
