The surrounding countryside is rolling hills, with a mix of woodland and pasture, with superb views over the valley. The single track lane leading to the hamlet is a secondary route, thus there is almost no passing traffic. You can walk 1km to the local supermarket, an intermarche, that has a bakery, and butcher on site. As well as an international foods section, a biologic health section, a fish stand, and many other options. The villages of St Agnan and Hautefort have everything:  banks, shops, cafes and restaurants. There are good restaurants in the villages and towns around us. We are not in the crowded “tourist” areas, so they are still very “French”, with their set menus of traditional regional cuisine. The Dordogne is famous for being a gastronomic paradise with wines to complement the cuisine. The gourmet specialties from this region are truffles, foie gras, confit de canard and wine from Bergerac and Bordeaux. There are also some very good vegetarian options available. 
Fresh produce can be purchased at the local farmers markets that happen almost everyday of the week somewhere nearby! And in the Summer there are local night markets offering food, drinks, live music, dancing, and a nice ambiance!  
The area is unspoilt with very little traffic, surrounded by farms and mother nature. The area abounds in natural lakes, with beaches, swimming and water sports activities. There are the world famous horse stables at Arnac-Pompadour.The numerous rivers that traverse the Dordogne offer spectacular scenery, cliff top villages and water sports activities including numerous canoeing centres.The Property is ideally located to explore the Region’s rich cultural history (prehistoric cave paintings, medieval castles and many excellent museums, including Les Eyzies, Limoges and Perigueux).
