The Aquitaine / Dordogne / Dordogne region

The Dordogne region provides an incredible array of interesting sites and activities. It has castles that rival the Loire. From fairytale like Chateau Milandes, to flamboyant like Hautefort and fortresses like Castlenaud. When it comes to prehistory, it is in a league of its own.

Its houses are the most magnificent vestiges of the Palaeolithic era in Europe, troglodyte shelters and caves, the most famous being Lascaux, just 10 minutes away, containing renderings of 15,000-year-old galloping horses, reindeer, bison, and ibex.

In the area you will find, crystalline caves, castles and fortresses which offer an exceptional variety of landscapes, architecture and pages from the history of France. It has magnificent gardens, like the Gardens of Marquessac, which stands 130 meters above the river and unveils an exceptional view on the entire valley.

Aquitaine contains 13 of the " Most beautiful villages in France" eight of which are in the Dordogne. Les Eyzies commonly introduced as the world's prehistoric capital. The most varied prehistoric and historic, styles and periods are represented here, making this the town for travelling back to the past. (20 minutes away)

Sarlat the geographical centre of Périgord-Quercy is by far the most important tourist site in the region and boasts one of the largest medieval urban areas in the world. Over 30 films have been shot in the capital of the Black Périgord and it has become the third centre for filming after Paris and Nice. There is a picturesque market on Saturdays and numerous festivals are held during the season. (15 minutes away)

Montignac and Lascaux, the small town of 3000 inhabitants on the banks of the river Vezere, owes its fame to the discovery in 1940 of the "eighth wonder of the world" the Lascaux cave. The cave discovered by four small boys is the finest of all prehistoric painted caves and is believed to date as far back as 15000BC. (10 minutes away)

The Sarlat / St Genies area

The house is just four kilometers from the pretty village of Saint Genies. Full of some of the most beautiful and authentic buildings.

During the summer there is a weekly night market which is an experience not to be missed with stalls selling a huge choice of hot & cold gastronomic delights from which you choose each course and enjoy your meal at tables in the centre of the square.

The medieval town of Sarlat is also close by and is a must on a visit to the Dordogne, with more listed buildings than any other town in Europe & a famous weekly market.
