The Aquitaine / Dordogne / Dordogne region
The Dronne valley is a land of unspoiled countryside through which flows its namesake the Dronne, one of the most beautiful rivers of France. Rolling hills and vales give way in turn to limestone plateaux, ancient forests, peat-pools and lakes. This is rural France, perfect for walkers & ramblers, cyclists, artists and those wishing to explore the region by car.
The Verteillac / Cherval area
Brantome, the ‘Venice of the Périgord’, is just 20 mins drive away, on the banks of the Dronne. A delightfully picturesque town with independent shops, superb restaurants and a wealth of riverside cafés. Guided boat trips run hourly during the summer months and Friday night sees the weekly ‘river joust’ ~ great fun to watch!
Over the border in the Charente is Aubeterre, famous for its monolithic underground church. The tree-lined town square is full of cafés and quirky shops, perfect for a lazy Sunday afternoon. There is also a good 9-hole golf course nearby.
The Grand Etang at La Jemaye is a must for those with children : a sheltered lake (with lifeguard) on a lovely sandy beach surrounded by pine trees. This popular pôle loisirs also offers a playground, fishing area, restaurant, snack bar and graded fitness trails.
The historic cities of Périgueux and Angoûleme are both within 40 mins drive. Périgueux, the ‘capital’ of the Dordogne dominated by the magnificent Cathedrale de St Front, offers hidden delights within its winding, cobbled streets. Angoûleme is an ancient fortified town, and the world cartoon capital. In September the walled streets are closed for the Circuit des Remparts, the annual vintage car race. It offers some of the best shopping around, and is also the closest TGV link to Paris (approx 2h) and the Eurostar to London (approx 6h).
