For the keen golfer several other golf courses are within easy reach, for instance the famous championship course at Chateau de Vigiers (18 hole par 72). Other golf courses in the neighbour-hood are the Golf de Castelnaud (18 hole par 72, 9 hole par 31). Chateau Les Merles (9 hole par 36).

The Dordogne and the Vezere rivers offer either tranquil, or exciting canoeing. There is a riding stable very close to us, near the Chateau de Bridoire and there are masses of roads and tracks to walk or bicycle on.

Our main town is Bergerac, with its lovely medieval port, still with its quays, beautiful bridge and timbered warehouses in the old quartier. It is also the bustling shopping centre for a large region and has excellent shops, restaurants, supermarkets, a large country market on Wednesday and Saterday and many attractions for visitors. The bastide towns of Eymet, Villereal, Monpazier and Monflanquin are well worth visiting.

The beautiful region of the Dordogne is a land of sheltered valleys and woods, rivers, farms producing Foie gras, vineyards, medieval towns and villages and chateau. It is the country of truffles and walnut oil, with an immensely rich tradition of cookery, and within a reasonable distance there are many restaurants, from the simple to the gastronomic.
