Additional information
This lovely gite is only 3 minutes from Sauveterre-la-Lemance (Lot et Garonne) where a boulangerie (bakers), butcher, grocery shop, chemist, petrol station, garage, post office, several bars and 2 excellent restaurants are located. It is 10 minutes drive from Villefranche-du-Perigord (Dordogne), a 13th century bastide town with restaurants, cafes, 2 butchers, 2 boulangeries, a chemist and many other amenities (ATM, bank, petrol station, hairdressers and beauty salon etc).
The surrounding country is green and hilly with stunning views. The famous 12th century castle of Bonaguil is only 20 minutes drive away. There are numerous medieval villages and chateaux to explore in the area such as Monpazier and Biron. Canoeing, fishing, water-skiing and other water-based activities are available on the River Lot near Fumel.
Local markets occur most days and some nights in surrounding towns and villages. Excellent local produce such as lamb, all vegetables, all fruits, especially the local strawberries, cheese and wine (Red: Cahors, White: Bergerac and Gaillac) make the area superb for eating at home or out in the local restaurants.
In Sauveterre there is a night market on Tuesday evenings during July and August. This is always a very good evening with tables laid out for you to enjoy the food and drink that you buy and is cooked for you on the spot. More a meal than a market. Definitely worthwhile. There is another similar event on a Thursday evening at Loubejac - about 3 kilometers away.
Walking, cycling, golf, and canoeing on the Dordogne are probably the most popular outdoor activities here in the Dordogne and the Lot departments. Painting is also pursued by several of our guests, with the fantastic views. If that is too quiet for you track down the annual village fetes held by all the towns in the area - a night of eating, drinking and music takes over the town and carries on late into the night.
If you need a bout of more serious shopping during your stay, Bergerac, Villeneuve-sur-Lot and Cahors are easily accessible. Cahors in particular has a lovely town, and a river frontage where boat trips along the Lot can be taken - remember also to stop off for a wander around Preyssac on your way to Cahors, particularly on Thursday morning for the large market around its beautiful Church.
The Dordogne and Lot are two of the gastronomic centres of France, famous for foie gras, duck, truffles, mushrooms, seafood and cassoulet. There are many excellent inexpensive restaurants in the area using traditional recipes.
Just down the road is Villefranche du Perigord, a traditional bastide village of the Dordogne with an attractive covered market on Saturday mornings. With its cobbled roads this is one of the most beautiful villages in the region.
The area is also well known for its wines. The world famous vineyards of Medoc and St Emilion are close by and the local wines of Bergerac, Yquem, Monpazier and Cahors are also excellent.
