Village House in Beautiful Dordogne Countryside
Limeyrat, near Thenon, between Montignac and Perigueux
2 bedrooms, sleeps 4/5 people


Le Bourg

This recently renovated cottage with garden is situated in the centre of Limeyrat, a lively village in the beautiful Dordogne countryside. Le Bourg is very conveniently next door to a bakery, which is also a small general store. The bread and cakes are fresh every day adding to the authentic experience of French country life. The village has a post office, a bar and an ancient church and is on several rambling trails. The surrounding countryside is perfect for walking or cycling to discover the charms of this lovely part of South West France.

Limeyrat is 9 km from the town of Thenon and the whole area is littered with restaurants and historical monuments, well worth visiting. Ajat, 4 km away, deserves a particular mention for its excellent restaurant and ancient castle. Despite the country location, Limeyrat is only 15 minutes drive from the A89, the main autoroute that crosses France. This allows easy access to nearby towns and villages. Perigueux and the famous prehistoric caves of Lascaux are roughly 30 minutes from here.


The ground floor of the house has a fully equipped modern kitchen and a lovely bright, airy living room. Both of these rooms have double doors that open out to views of the village and the countryside beyond. There is also a toilet on the ground floor.

The master bedroom is on the first floor and has a double bed, wardrobe and two bedside lights. We have kept the original fireplace, which now makes very useful storage space. The window opens onto a view to the front of the house over the village and countryside. The family bathroom has both bath and separate shower.

A second bedroom is located in the converted attic, via a newly installed spiral staircase. This is a twin room and although we have decorated the room with children in mind, there is no reason why the room may not be used by adults. There is ample head height and the beds are full size single beds. There is also a television in this room.

On the large landing on the first floor is a fold-down single sofa bed. This is a very comfortable bed, although the landing is of course, not private.

The house benefits from a sizeable garden. There is a small splash pool for kids and ample space for adults to sit and relax while supervising or tending the barbeque. The garden has lovely views of the Dordogne countryside.


The Area

The nearest town of Thenon is a busy market town with a small supermarket and several bars and restaurants. About 20 minutes away is the beautiful town of Montignac where you can dine by the riverside or stroll along the narrow streets browsing the shops. This is also the location of the world famous caves of prehisoric art, Lascaux. In fact the whole region has a wealth of prehistoric sites to visit, including the town of Les Eyzies.

In the other direction the town of Perigueux is about half an hour away. This is a lovely town with an old quarter comprising a labyrinth of narrow streets with hundreds of cafes and restaurants. It is easy to drive to and there are several underground car parks, making it a stress free visit.

The autoroute system in France is excellent and makes it possible to consider a trip to Bordeaux from Limeyrat. This would take around two hours but is well worth it as Bordeaux has excellent shopping.
