The local village Possac St Vivien is 3km and the larger village of Lisle with its general store, chemist, boulangerie and post office is 7km. Grand Tocane St Apre is 12 km and has a supermarket and many more shops. For hypermarkets, sports shops, gifts, and clothes shopping, Perigueux (the cultural, and gastronomic capital of the Dordogne) and is easily accessible at 26km.
The nearby town of Brantome, known as the Venice of the Dordogne, is truly delightful. An early evening visit is recommended - dine at Moulin des Abbayes. The local village and chateau of Bourdeilles is also worth a trip.
Saturday morning - Thiviers
Friday morning - St. Yriex la Perche, Brantome, and Riberac
Saturday and Wednesday morning - Perigueux - plus a small fresh produce market held every morning.
The Dordogne is one of the gastronomic centres of the world, famous for its foie gras, duck, truffles, mushrooms and seafood. There are many excellent, inexpensive restaurants in the area that use traditional cooking recipes. The famous vineyards of Medoc and St Emilion are close by and the local wines of Bergerac, Yquem, Monpazier and Cahors are also excellent. See www.bordeaux.com for details of the vineyards around Bordeaux.
The vineyards of Bergerac - via Bergerac to Montbazillac (see the chateau) and then to Pomport to a wine tasting at Chateau Belingard, Sigoules, Saussignac, Duras and then back via Eymet (eat at Restaurant des Italians).
The vineyards of St Emilion - via Bergerac and Saint Foy Ia Grande to St Emilion, stopping on the way at Velines LFB to buy Limoges porcelain at excellent prices. Lunch at L'Hostellerie de Plaisance in St Emilion or if not on the way back at Port Sainte Foy.
The Dordogne is rich in pageantry. The English ruled Aquitaine for 300 years in the Middle Ages under the Plantagenets and there are many castles, bastide towns and fortified churches to visit. See the old town of Bergerac and take a small trip on the Dordogne by boat. Antique market the first Sunday of the month until 12 noon. Or visit the cathedral town of Perigueux with a Roman theatre.
The Dordogne and Vezere valleys are world famous for the art of prehistoric man and are known as the 'birthplace of art'. The region has over a hundred prehistoric painted caves up to 22,000 years old, the most accessible including Lascaux II, Fonte-de-Gaume, Rouffignac, Cougnac and Peche Merle in the Lot.
The area has an excellent choice of courses including Chateau des Vigiers at Saussignac (27 holes). There are a variety of other activities to choose from including horse riding, canoeing, bicycling and fishing.
