Guest comments
'We found Le Verger charming, so authentically French, so peaceful and quiet, yet within easy reach of excellent restaurants and shops in unspoilt Perigord villages. Great for walking and unwinding in beautiful countryside. The kids loved boating and water skiing at Rouffiac Lake'. Cressida Newbury (UK).
