local area....

Large bustling weekly Markets are held close by in Piegut, Thivier, St Pardoux and Nontron all offering a taste of local produce and crafts and the opportunity to mix with locals and soak up the local atmosphere.

There is an excellent choice of Restuarants in the village ranging from ‘The Bourg Fleurie’, ‘Hotel Sully’ and Oddysey Bar to the Hostellerie St Jaques (a gourmet’s feast and one of the most famous restaurants in South West France!).

Within a 15 minute drive, you will also find a plethora of pretty villages and excellent restaurants catering for every taste.

The area is full of fascinating market towns where you can choose a different market virtually every day of the week. Interesting Château and a wide range of cultural activities are nearby whilst the larger centres of Perigueux, Limoges and Angouleme are all within one hours drive.

For a great day out, try wine tasting at one of the famous vineyards near Bordeaux, brandy at Cognac, explore the Dordogne Valley and River or venture as far as the coast of the Charente Maritime.

Other outdoor activities in the area include Swimming, Horse Riding, Canoeing, Karting, Walking, Golf and Tennis.
