Home description
Our ancient stone Farmhouse and nearby Cottage are perfect for two-family holidays in truly relaxing countryside with one of the biggest pools in Dordogne. Just outside the main tourist area, so no traffic jams or crowds in the shops, and a five minute walk from Excideuil with its excellent bakers, restaurants, ancient streets, the castle and wonderful colourful market.
Available together or separately, farmhouse and cottage each three large bedrooms and cool sitting rooms. The gardens are enormous and the swimming pool is simply magnificent at 55 feet long! Lounge here all day in the sun, or be busy visiting all the historic sights nearby, such as Lascaux caves, Jumilhac and Hautefort chateaux, picturesque Brantome and fascinating Perigueux with its evening jazz concerts. For the more active there is a splendid lake with beach and boats and wakeboarding, or quad biking and paintball nearby, not to mention dungeons and war machines to see at Beynac and Castelnaud chateaux.

The Aquitaine / Dordogne / Dordogne region
Aquitaine was fought over throughout the hundred years' war - Excideuil, our nearby market town did not surrender to the English kings. The fortress dominates the town, but today's inhabitants enjoy a peaceful life with all shops, services, doctors and dentist, restaurants and bars, boutiques and supermarket. Exhibits of mediaeval warfare can be studied at some nearby chateaux, and water sports are popular at lakes and on the rivers especially canoeing and water skiing. The restaurants are famous for Perigord food, with duck products being the regional speciality. Perigord produces ducks and geese, truffles, cepe mushrooms, walnuts and now even caviar from the Dordogne river. Sunshine is the norm here, it's a gardener's and tourist's paradise in the prettiest countryside in France!
Perigueux area
La Ferme de Tabary is ideally placed for exploring the Perigord region. Nearby Excideuil with its X1th century fortress is a charming small market town with a host of 16th and 17th century buildings. The 14th century barns now make our cinema! Many Romanesque churches in the area. Lake with beach, boats and wakeboarding 15 minutes. Caves with prehistoric paintings and stalactites all around. Perigueux summer music evenings and festival of mime. cathedral designed by the architect who built the famous Sacre Coeur in Paris. NEW! Golf course by Excideuil. The outstanding network of cross-country tracks offers wonderful walking, riding and cycling in unspoilt countryside. Some of these form parts of the pilgrim roads to Santiago de Compostela in Spain.
