The Aquitaine / Dordogne / Gironde region
There is an abundance of cultural, sporting, leisure and shopping opportunities within a few minutes walk from the house. If you choose to bring your bicycles then there are many places to explore - the countryside is relatively flat here. If you have a car then there is so much to do that we couldn't possibly list it all here!
Clearly, there are more activities available in the summer months, but we urge you to consider an out-of-season break if you want to see what the area is really all about without the crowds of July & August.
The climate is benign, although winter nights are pretty cold! Summers are generally glorious.
Sainte Foy-la-Grande area
Sainte-Foy-La-Grande is a Bastide town founded in the 1200s. It boasts one of the largest weekly markets each Saturday throughout the year and is host to special night markets in the run-up to Christmas.
In July & August the Mairie organises torchlight tours of the town. There are many sporting and cultural events throughout the year too. We recommend the Pays Foyen website for details.
There are amazing Bastille Day celebrations held in Sainte-Foy, with a great fireworks display right opposite the house. The entire town and residents from miles around flock to the quayside in front of the house to watch the fireworks. Also in July is the "Felibree", a true celebration of the culture and language of the Oc. This 2-week festival is hosted in a different town each year and is certainly worth visiting if you can.
September sees Franco-British week being marked - a celebration of the close relationship between the French and British residents of the region.
There is a flying club just over the river in Port-St-Foy. Here you can find tennis and canoeing/rowing clubs too.
There is another tennis club about 1.5 kn from the house in Sainte-Foy-La-Grande/Pineuilh.

Guestbook for Les Terraces sur La Dordogne
We had a great time in Ste. Foy! The apartment is comfortable, spacious and architecturally striking. We found the accommodations perfect. The kitchen is very well set up and provided an opportunity to cook many wonderful meals from the great local ingredients. The town and its Medieval trappings are stunning as well with the views of the Dordogne very captivating.
Ste. Foy itself is charming with some very nice restaurants (particularly Les Sarments and La Vieille Auberge) and that marvelous Saturday regional market in the nearby downtown streets. .........It was very good to meet you and we wish you the best of luck with your apartments. We are certainly interested in returning to the area when our schedules permit.

"The Perfect Location " Our stay at Les Terraces sur la Dordogne was the perfect place for a relaxed and exciting vacation. Located on the river in Ste. Foy we enjoyed the beauty of the area and many day trips to small towns and villages. The home like atmosphere of the apartment was a welcome spot after a day of sightseeing.

"A river watching holiday" Les Terraces is ideal for a holiday with a difference. Unlike so many gites which are countryside oriented living in the middle of a small friendly town has many positive aspects. You do not have to get in the car to buy the morning baguette, nor do you need to drive to find a local bar for a drink and some lunch and you don't worry about who will be duty driver because the bar is only four minutes walk away.
The Dordogne flows past the back wall of the house and is a constant source of interest and wonder. You can spend many happy hours experiencing the peace that comes from just watching one of nature's treasures and the accompanying wildlife - something that is hard to find and can't be bought.
The accommodation provided by Les Terraces is simple, elegant, very comfortable, and well thought out; everything you need for your stay is provided in a relaxing atmosphere with a distinct nautical flavour.
The surrounding area provides interesting day trips to markets in small towns, castles and chateaux galore, vineyard tours and the bustle of a big city like Bordeaux. Something for everyone's taste and enjoyment. Altogether the week we spent in Ste Foix was one of our most memorable visits to France for all the right reasons. Definitely to be repeated, there is still so much to see.

"Superb Studio with amazing views in a beautiful part of the Dordogne"
Ste-Foy is a lovely little town with a thriving community. Plainly yet pleasantly furnished with some lovely artwork it [the apartment] is a home away from home. The view across the Dordogne is marvellous and the river itself is only a few metres away. Les Terraces is just a short walk from the main town and all the amenities (5 minutes tops). I would highly recommend the studio.
