Distances
Perigueux - nearest town (10 min drive away). Perigueux is the proud owner of the largest cathedral in southwestern France. The Romanesque Cathedrale St-Front was only completed in the 19th Century when the architect Paul Abadie oversaw the restoration and embellishment of the building. Around the cathedral you will find a number of winding lanes from the 15th and 16th centuries. There is lots more to offer with excellent mountain biking, lush golf courses, colourful markets and local fetes.
Further details
Nearby 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 10km 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
Just a short distance away there is the little town of Riberac and is renowned for its Friday market; the best in the area and well worth a visit. 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. The underground river has hollowed out huge chambers connected to each other by galleries. Nearby is the Chateau de Puyguilhem in a village of the same name. It's a fascinating structure way out in the woods, a Renaissance masterpiece that fell into disrepair but was carefully restored after WW2. Going a little way east from Gravelle 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.

Guest comments
You have a lovely house, very well maintained and complete with everything we needed. Lyn and Stephen were very helpful when we arrived and the house was very central to Riberac, Bergerac, Perigueux etc. Having the Sky TV was great but the computer with broadband was probably even better.
I have a teenage son, and it kept him happy for a couple of hours every day (forums, bebo etc), brilliant!

And thanks for the house which was lovely, very tasteful and comfortable. We had some lovely days towards the end of the second week so were able to make better use of the pool and in any case the area is great whatever the weather, n'est-ce pas?
