Around the area
The north Lot and Dordogne areas offer a wealth of attractions to all types of visitor: The rural location makes just the escape worthwhile, whilst miles of quiet country roads around make exploring by bicycle a natural attraction. Bicycle hire, including helmets and delivery can be ordered from Bike Hire Direct or there are several smaller companies in local towns who can help.
The spectacular scenery of the Dordogne river is only a short distance away with plenty of opportunity for fishing, canoeing/kayaking and other water based activities.
The historic towns of Sarlat, Domme, Gourdon and Souillac each have their own charm and appeal - the spectacular views over the river and Dordogne valley from Domme and the tiny historic streets of the old parts of Sarlat stand out as 'must do' places to visit. Each village has its own charm, and guests will always have their own favourites.
Other attractions within easy travelling distance include Rocamadour and the Causse de Quercy, a large limestone plateau with many interesting features. This also gives rise to cave systems, including the world famous caves of Lascaux with their prehistoric wall paintings.
There are castles aplenty to visit - several on the Dordogne river,including the very visible Montfort, or venture into the scenic hills of the south Périgord to find the complete castles of Biron and Bonaguil as the architecture and scenery begins to change from Périgourdine to Quercy.
Lovers of food and wine will never be disappointed with this area: The tiny vignoble of Domme is nearby, The Cahors AOC wine producing area is to the south and the Bergerac AOC to the west, all producing wines with distinct character, and many wineries offer tours, tastings and direct sales.
Food production is a major industry of the area, with the annual Truffle Festival in Sarlat a major attraction. Markets are always popular, with market days well publicised: For food lovers especially the journey south across the stunning scenery of the Périgord to Prayssac market on Friday will be rewarded with delicious foods from the town market and several other artisan producers in the town as well.
