Property Description
Situated in the heart of the Périgord, just outside the market town of Ribérac, this tastefully renovated three bedroom house lies secluded in countryside surrounded by fields and farms. The house is three centuries old and has been made into a very comfortable home where old and new combine to create a feeling of peace and charm. A private lake that belongs to the house, only five minutes away, allows pleasant walks or picnics in a beautiful setting.
The sitting room is comfortably furnished with a spare single bed. The dining room has beamed ceilings, a lovely stone fireplace and a sofa bed. The kitchen is well equipped and includes a washing machine and dishwasher. There are two bedrooms, one twin, and one with a queen-size bed, a bathroom with a bath/shower and a separate shower room. The house has central heating, a telephone and a television/stereo. Outside, there is a very large covered patio with a table, chairs and an outside kitchen with BBQ, and a garden with lawns, trees, flowers and fruit trees.
The beautiful region of the Dordogne is the country of sheltered valleys and woods, rivers, farms, medieval hilltop towns and villages, and châteaux. It is the country of truffles, walnut oil, mushrooms, wine and geese, and an immensely rich tradition of cookery.

Chez Vignas - Dordogne
Ribérac has a very good market on Friday mornings and most towns and villages have lively markets on different days of the week, the stalls groaning with fresh local produce. Supermarkets and other shops can be found in the larger towns.
Brantôme (30km), is an island-town set between two branches of the River Dronne. With its five bridges and ancient abbey under the cliff, its huge belfry reflected in the river, the old Virginia creeper-covered houses, the weeping willows and a public garden by the river, it has great charm. There are several cafes and small restaurants and two hotels, each of which has a Michelin star restaurant.
At Champagnac de Belair, 6km from Brantôme, is the Moulin du Roc, which has a two star Michelin restaurant.
Périgueux, is the capital of the region and although it is a busy modern town, it has a lovely old quarter around the great cathedral of St Front, with its mass of domes and steeples. The town is surrounded by farms producing foie gras, and the shops are full of it.
The Lot et Garonne and Dordogne areas are still relatively undiscovered tourist destinations and have a lot to offer as far as scenery, typical villages and castles, prehistoric caves, gastronomy, kindness of people.. and prices tend to be lower than the French Riviera. Possible outdoor activities include horseback riding, canoeing, running and hicking, bicycling, golf, tennis, etc... Lots of cultural events (outdoor concerts, theater, festivals) take place in summer.
Activities
Riding stables, where you can hire horses for an hour or a day, golf courses, boat trips on the rivers and tennis courts are all within reasonable reach, and there is good fishing in the lakes and rivers.
This is excellent walking and cycling country with well signposted routes and ideal for those who prefer the gentler pursuits of photography or bird watching. And from spring until late autumn there are numerous fetes and festivals, outdoor concerts, both classical and jazz, theatre and country antiques markets.
This is an ideal base for half day, one day or two day trips to the Lot-et Garonne Valleys, the vineyards of Bordeaux, the beaches of the Atlantic coast, and the Armagnac region of the Gers, which reaches down to the foothills of the Pyrenees.
