There is a games barn with table-tennis, table-football and boules, and other stone barns including one for parking.


  

If you're feeling more more energetic and adventurous there's much to do and see:

  • medieval châteaux and bastide towns, and prehistoric caves
  • boating, canoeing and fishing on the local lakes and rivers (Dordogne 25mins). 
  • walks, cycling or horseriding through the beautiful Lot and Dordogne countryside and ancient villages.
  • golf  (Castelnaud - 25mins). 
  • markets - the Périgord is famous for tiptop cuisine and wines. Even the Parisians say so.
  • July and August is the season of fêtes and bodegas in the local bastide towns.
