The Aquitaine / Dordogne / Dordogne region


The Dordogne is a region of Aquitaine, France. Dordogne is one of France's best-kept secrets.
Castles, chateaux, and other important historical museums are sprinkled throughout the region, offering enough historical interest for any aficionado, attractively distributed throughout a breath-taking scenery.
The Riberac / Joubertias area
Your destination is a rambling 19th Century farmhouse in the heart of the Dordogne countryside. It is situated in the tiny secluded hamlet of Joubertias just 5 minutes drive from the charming market town of Riberac where you will find supermarkets, shops, restaurants and banks.
Aubeterre (just across the nearby border with Charente) has the most astounding monolithic church built into the rocks.
Venture just a little further and you will find the mediaeval town of Brantome (the Venice of the Dordogne), the ancient and fascinating caves at Villars, the cathedral city of Perigueux and, of course, all the attractions that the wine regions have to offer.
There are markets most days in the nearby towns and villages. Riberac is home to one of the largest in the Dordogne and takes place every Friday. By contrast, the pretty little village of Tocane St Apre has a much smaller but very charming market on Mondays.
If you want to work off some of those holiday calories, then you can find canoeing and cycling available close by. The area is particularly well known for outstanding mountain biking.
