About the location
The nearby town of Bergerac is just a couple of minutes away. It has a good range of shops, pharmancies, banks and supermarkets, as well as a number of bars, cafes and excellent restaurants.
Most recent movies can be seen in the 7-screen movie theatre.
Every Wednesday and Saturday morning the town hosts a popular and colourful open market. In the centre of town, the old city dates from the 12th to the 16th century. The narrow flagstoned streets and squares are closed to cars. In this part of town, don't miss the "Cloitre des Recollets", which overlooks the Dordogne river.
The Bergerac area is renowed for its vineyards. The wines which come from here include red and white Bergerac, cotes de Bergerac, red Percharmant, and the sweet whites, Monbazillac and saussignac - the latter best appreciated with foie gras. We will be happy to suggest local vineyards to visit, where the wines can be sampled.
Just minutes from Bergerac, there are several castles open to visitors. These include the 16th century Chateau de Monbazillac and its vineyards, the medieval Chateau de Lanquais, the Chateau de Montreal and the Chateau de Bannes.
