The Aquitaine / Dordogne / Dordogne region
Within easy reach of Bouteilles there is a number of interesting places which will delight you. The town of Nontron is some 15 miles north and is set among attractive lakes that provide ideal picnic sites. It stands high up on a rock fortified by massive ramparts and has a picturesque 18th century chateau. This is a perfect place for children as it houses a lively museum of dolls, models, games and toys.
A short drive from Bouteilles there is the delightful medieval town of Brantome where it is a delight to walk around the remarkable and ancient abbey founded by Charlemagne (742-814). With its soaring campanile this is one of the most elegant medieval and Renaissance buildings in the Dordogne, complete with caves used by the monks as kitchens and cellars. The town sits on a bend of the river Dronne and a stroll along the riverside is an unforgettable experience. Loads of brilliant restaurants complete the experience – you will come back. There are also boats trips available.
About 10 km down the river you come to the pretty village of Bourdeilles where there are two chateaux of different periods built on a fortified hill – a medieval fortress (13th – 14th century) and a Renaissance palace (16th) with a remarkable collection of furniture. On the river Dronne you can rent a canoe Going a little way east from Bouteille just over the Charente border is Aubeterre sur Dronne Its charming narrow streets wind through white stone houses and ancient buildings. Built in the shape of an amphitheatre this former stronghold is classified as one of France’s prettiest villages. The most outstanding and impressive monument in Aubeterrre is the underground church of St John
Not very far away is the town of Grottes de Villars and a short distance north of the town are the caves with some impressive stalactites and paintings more than 17,000 years old. It was discovered in 1953 and is the largest underground network in the Perigord.
Nearby is the Chateau de Puyguilhem in a village of the same name. It is a fascinating structure way out in the woods a Renaissance masterpiece that fell into disrepair but was carefully restored after WW2 It contains some suburb Aubasson tapestries and fine furniture and several fireplaces that are carved with exceptional beauty.
And so it goes on - I just wish I had room to tell you more - come and find out for yourselves!

Guestbook
On behalf of the family I would like to thank you for the use of Le Petite Manoir during the second week in July. We had a really enjoyable time in a beautiful and tranquil setting. Le Petit Manoir was perfect in every respect. As well as relaxing there we travelled fairly widely across the region, we even canoed on the Dronne Jim Richardson
Reg, many thanks for the use of your splendid villa, we enjoyed our two weeks very much and would like to take the oppertunity to say thankyou very much, the boys,Sharron and myself had a great time. I hope everything in the villa was left to your satisfaction, and might i say the surrounding areas as you mentioned were not a dissapiontment it was breath taking. Again many thanks John & Sharron
