Home description
L'Escale couldn't be any nearer to the River Dordogne without actually being afloat. Situated on the riverbank next to a beautiful sandstone bridge on the outskirts of the charming village of Siorac-en-Périgord, in the historical and breathtaking Périgord Noir area of the Dordogne.
With 5 B&B rooms (3 double and 2 family) to let individually or as a group, from as little as 35 Euros a night. All of the rooms have large en suite bathrooms, overlook the garden and river and have access to the riverbank.

The Aquitaine / Dordogne / Dordogne region
It's easy to see why this area has been called the valley of a thousand and one chateaux as towers, turrets and pigeoniers can be viewed at almost every turn. Along with the medieval villages, stunning scenery and great food and wine it is understandable why the Périgord Noir is one of the most visited areas of France. So we are going to let you in on a secret.......May, June and September!! The weather is generally beautiful, the prices are significantly lower and there are noticeably fewer people. Walk, drive and sightsee all of the wonderful attractions in peace and calm, the way a holiday should be. It is such a fabulous area with so many great things to do and see we would like you to see it at its best - but don't tell everyone!
Siorac-en-Perigord area
Situated on the main route from Bergerac (45 mins) to Sarlat (25 mins) L'Escale is 5 minutes walk away from the charming village centre of Siorac-en-Périgord with its sleepy railway station, church, post office and tourist information. The handful of shops will be able to help you with all you need from a hand crafted souvenir to a mouthwatering treat. There are 2 restaurants within walking distance and many more than I can mention here within a short drive.
As well as the fishing at the end of the garden there is a 9 hole compact golf course within a 15 minute walk and also a par 72 (5,893m) 18 hole course 10 mins drive away. Tennis courts are just 2 minutes walk and bikes, ponies, even hot air balloons can all be hired locally. Families can also rest assured that their children will be kept entertained with prehistory, air and waterparks all within a short drive. There are gardens, caves and castles as rich and diverse as the people who come to see them. We have a huge amount of leaflets and information to help you plan your days and are always at hand to help and advise. Our aim is to be as hospitable as possible and make your stay with us as pleasantly memorable as it can be.

Further details outdoors: We also have the added benefit of our large bar and covered terrace where you can relax over a freshly prepared light lunch or ice cream. But you can't beat aperitif time! Sitting watching the sun descend over the river, turning the bridge majestically to gold, with a glass of something cold and refreshing in your hand......
There is a private car park and secure storage for fishing gear and bikes. Also remember to bring your swimming things as the river is a popular bathing spot in the summer months, needless to say young children do have to be accompanied at all times!
