Le Rouquet Holiday Gite
This lovingly restored farmhouse is over 200 years old and is well equipped to provide a restful and relaxing holiday. The Dordogne is an area overflowing with history, heritage and picturesque villages and is renowned for its markets, food and wine. There is something to suit everyone whatever their age or interests.
The nearby village of Limeuil is in a picturesque setting at the point where the river Vezere meets the river Dordogne. Although small the village is equipped with a bar (which looks out across the rivers), a fine Pizza restaurant great for kids and 2 restaurants serving authentic local dishes. There is a baker and a post office and in the summer there is a market on Sunday mornings selling local produce. A steep walk from the port of Limeuil takes you into the old town past local art and craft shops to the top where the chateau stands in its newly restored grounds with fantastic views across the Dordogne Valley. For an even more breathtaking view point "the cingle de Limeuil" is a short drive away.
The busy market town of Le Bugue sits on the banks of the river Vezere and is well equipped to meet most of your shopping needs from small local shops to a well stocked supermarket and cave. There is also the large market every Tuesday morning and a smaller one on Saturday mornings.
