The Aquitaine / Dordogne / Dordogne region


The Dordogne area of France is still unspoiled and perfect for getting away from it all. The countryside surrounding our house is wonderfully peaceful and our terrace gives wonderful views of rolling hills and valleys and stunning views of sunflowers in the summer. There are lovely rivers for canoeing and the vineyards of St Emilion and Bergerac are only an hour or so away.
The house is located at Champagnac - a small rural hamlet,sitting astride a ridge with lovely views. The old village of Vanxains, with its boulangerie and post office nestles in the valley below and is only a short drive away – you can also cycle or walk to it.
Riberac, a bustling town is five miles away. It has all kinds of shops, hypermarkets, great restaurants and other facilities such as tennis and canoeing. The famous Friday market at Riberac is as much a social occasion as a shopping opportunity: you can easily while away a couple of hours checking out the local specialities.
The Riberac / Vanxains area
Aubeterre, a very old and very beautiful village is only 15 minutes drive away (you can bike it if you are feeling energetic) Other activities such as golf and horse riding are also nearby. There are lots of other lovely places to explore. Brantome, Bergerac, Perigueux and St Emilion are all less than an hour’s drive away and are brilliant for shopping and sightseeing.
There are many excellent restaurants within easy reach offering good quality and great value food. Our house has a detailed ‘house book’ which will give you all the information to make the most of your stay.
There are several golf courses within driving distance - the nearest at Aubeterre is about 15 minutes drive away.

However you choose to travel to the Dordogne, you really need a car when you’re there to get the most out of what the area has to offer.
We usually come by ferry and drive down - our favourite route is Brittany Ferries' Portsmouth to St Malo which makes it an easy 320 mile drive. But if you want to cut down on the driving, some of today’s airfares make fly/drive much more affordable. We love travelling into Bergerac (Flybe and Ryanair), which is about an hour away. It’s such a small airport you can often do plane to hire car in about 15 minutes!

Review Submitted: August 25, 2010 Date of Stay: August 2010
We stayed at Les Lavandes in August 2010. The description was very accurate - the property has wonderful views, is extremely well equipped, clean and well maintained. The owner is very helpful and efficient, and the local representative who looks after the property was also very helpful. It is situated a couple of hours drive from the actual Dordogne river and many of the attractions there, but is perfect for exploring the northern Dordogne region towns such as Riberac (fantastic market) and Perigueux (lovely old quarters). Aubeterre is a lovely village close by with a sandy beach and river to swim in, there is also a lovely lake with beach nearby. There are several grottes/ caves to visit in too which we enjoyed. I would certainly recommend this property to friends/ family.

We have all thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Les Lavandes. The views are spectacular and we've loved sitting on the terrace and taking it all in. We've had a wonderful holiday- our first time in this part of France - and it definitely won't be our last.

We have had a wonderful two week break - such a change from our normal work/sleep routine. Lots of chilling outside and enjoying good food and wine. The house is beautiful - well laid out, spacious and luxurious. The area is great too.
