The Aquitaine / Dordogne / Dordogne region

The Dordogne region of France offers a wealth of interesting places to visit and see. The Marronnier is situated in truffle country, with acres of wonderful oak forests. The Perigord truffles are world famous, know as black gold !

One of the oak trees at Marronnier yielded 60kg of truffles in days gone past. With stories of truffles being taken to the local markets by horse and trap my neighbour recounts endless stories of past history.

With many tracks and little chemins you can take in the wild life on walks and cycle rides round he countryside. Just exit the drive and away you go exploring. Take a walk or bike ride to the local cheese farm and purchase freshly made cheese from a local producer.

Markets are a plenty with the choice of several market towns to choose from. Get your fresh fruit, vegetables, chicken, cheese, bread and meats. They are a real delight to visit, a feast for all the senses !


Perigueux area

Perigueux is the capital of the Dordogne, this historic city is well worth a visit. Wander round the old medieval streets, sit and eat at one of the many restaurants and take in the atmosphere.
Just 25 minute drive from Le Marronnier, Perigueux is easily accessible.

The little village of Coulaures with its half church and wonderful stone bridge over the river takes you back in time. The small boulangerie offers a traditional artisan bread and patisseries.

Excideuil is a thriving market town, with its old chateau towering over the local countryside, this very quaint town is worth wandering round. Pop down to the weekly Excedeuil market and sample some of the traditional French life. Sit and take coffee in the square after purchasing your deliciously fresh local produce, before heading back to La Marronnier to cook your wares !

There is an abundance of local places of interest to visit, as well as just exploring the local villages.
The grotto de Villiars is a wonderful cave worth visiting, with its famous cave drawings.

Brantome, named the Venice of the Perigord, is a must. Hire a canoe and paddle sedately round Brantome. Pop into the one of the local bars or tea rooms or enjoy a "menu du jour" beside the wonderful river surroundings.

Bourdeuilles is just a little drive further on, and with its imposing tower chateau and commanding views over the river it is worth a visit. Spot the boat shaped house that straddles the river, with its flowers overflowing from the house, it is one of those "camera must moments".

Sorges, the Truffle capital of the Perigord, is only 20 min drive away. Visit the new truffle museum and maybe treat yourself to lunch or dinner at the Auberge de le Truffe - a gastonomic delight !

For those of you looking for some activity, then just outside the lovely village of St Germain de Pres there is an acro parc. You can follow the adventure trail through the tree tops, wizz wires, nets, tarzan ropes, it is a whole afternoon of entertainment.

The VeloRail at Corgnac Sur L'isle offers two rides along the old train rail, one direction to Thiviers and the other to St Germain de Pres.

A trip to Le Bugue is also recommended, and Les Eyzies a must with its prehistoric caves.
There is a whole wealth of places to visit and places to explore, this regions really does have something for everyone.

Important ..................... for the golfing fans, there is an 18 hole golf course in Perigueux !
Finally........................................ House hunters, we offer Bed and Breakfast during the winter months.

We can introduce you to Estate Agents in the area.

Further details indoors:
Formerly an old Truffle Farm, female pigs "Truies" were used to seek out the "black gold" truffle that the Perigord is so famous for. The barn was used to house the "Truies", and the attached little barn was were they cooked up the pig food. With hundreds of kilos of truffles found each year actually on the property of Le Marronnier it is a shame that those quantities are not found anymore !

The barn with its lovely stonework retains its character with "pierre apparent" throughout the property. With the old oak beams exposed it oozes character and charm.
Renovated to a high standard and finished with quality fixtures and fittings the Marronnier offers top quality accommodation.
The solid wooden dining table and leather covered chairs look out onto the terrace through the patio doors. Sit in the quality comfortable leather sofas imported from Italy and appreciate the view through the picture window to the walled garden and swimming pool.
The downstairs shower room with its overhead shower and pebble shower tray is spacious and airy. There is also a downstairs toilet, and basin.
Upstairs was the old hay loft and has now been transformed into sleeping accommodation.
The hand crafted oak staircase is a prominent feature of the lounge and leads to the 4 bedrooms.
The master bedroom has a kingsize four poster wooden bed, oak wardrobe, easy chairs, table and draws. Being at the gable end there are views over the courtyard, fields and rear garden. With is "pierre apparent", high ceiling and exposed beams this bedroom offers total comfort. The en suite bathroom has roll top bath with claw feet, situated against the stone wall and below the window, making it a perfect place to relax after a hard days sunbathing!
The double bedroom at the other gable end of the barn offers views over the swimming pool and walled garden. It has a wooden double bed, quality furnishing and fittings as well as a en suite shower room.
The third bedroom has a metal Napoleon bed frame, and is a one and a half bed size (small double) and a single bed, with traditional pine furnishings .
The smaller fourth twin bedroom over looks the courtyard and has one of the original barn windows that the hay was lifted through to store in the "grenier".

Further details outdoors:
Large courtyard at the front of the house with the shady Marronnier tree and tables and chairs for sitting and eating breakfast in the seclusion of the courtyard in the gentle morning sun.
The walled garden to the rear is grassed and with access to the patio for dining in the evening. Listening to the birdsong and enjoying the evening balmy evenings dining alfresco on the terrace.
The salt water swimming pool is nestled in the original "potager", retaining all the character the garden offers with its stone walls. The decking beside the pool and sun loungers for relaxing and sunbathing in the peaceful setting.
There are fruit trees of peaches, plums and cherries. Sit on the decking beside the pool under the shade of the peach trees.
The second half of the walled garden is being landscaped to resemble a traditional french garden, with its raised beds, espalier fruit trees against the stone walls and path of lavender. The landscaping is the last of the renovation works, and the finishing and planting in autumn of 09 has begun so that the grounds will be beginning to establish themselves for the spring 2010
