Visit the picturesque Perigord/Dordogne Region and stay in a traditional Stone Farmhouse with a breathtaking valley view. Les Gites Fleuris is located on a quiet semi-private single lane road, nestled amongst the idyllic countryside, in a hamlet of 18th century stone perigordian farmhouses. The Pool, Jacuzzi, and sundeck are situated in the tranquil orchard, surrounded by grass, trees and flowers. Only 2 km is the dramatic Chateau de Hautefort!
La Petite Rose is a charming restored traditional 18th c. stone 1 bedroom home with a fully equipped kitchen, bathroom, living room with big fireplace, TV with DVD player, wireless internet access, and CD player.
Relaxation is easy, either poolside on the sundeck, in the Jacuzzi, or on a hammock; or enjoy a peaceful stroll of the property acreage of fruit and walnut trees. Enjoy the wonderful view while playing: ping-pong, badminton/volleyball, croquet, swinging on the swing set, or in the children’s raised fort with climbing wall. There is a central laundry room with washing machines and dryers which you can use at no extra charge.

Hautefort is a great bicycling and walking area with rolling hillsides and lovely forest and valley views. All services are within walking distance: 1 km to boulangerie, grocery store, and bank. 2 km to tabac, post office, and the office of tourism. 2.5km to a swimming lake. You can walk 1km to the local supermarket, an intermarche, that has a bakery, and butcher on site. As well as an international foods section, a biologic “organic” health section, a fish stand, and many other options. The villages of St Agnan and Hautefort have everything: banks, shops, cafes and restaurants. There are good restaurants in the villages and towns around us. We are not in the crowded “tourist” areas, so they are still very “French”, with their set menus of traditional regional cuisine. The Dordogne is famous for being a gastronomic paradise with wines to complement the cuisine. The gourmet specialties from this region are truffles, foie gras, confit de canard and wine from Bergerac and Bordeaux. There are also some very good vegetarian options available.
Fresh produce can be purchased at the local farmers markets that happen almost everyday of the week somewhere nearby! And in the Summer there are local night markets offering food, drinks, live music, dancing, and a nice ambiance!
Perigord is THE place to go if you love truffles and foie gras. This little corner of Southwest France is home to the black truffle, one of the most famous and expensive luxury foods of France. (Truffle Markets are open in Winter!) It is also the land of foie gras-- that typical French delicacy made from fattened goose or duck liver, along with other Canard specialty dishes. We have many good restaurants in the area. The wine regions of Bergerac and Bordeaux are only 1 hour to 1.5 hours away.

There are many famous tourist sites: grottes (caves), Troglodyte sites, Bastille towns, Castles, and old villages are less than 1-hour drive away (Lascaux is only 20 minutes).Valley’s with castles where one can easily imagine bandits, knights in armor and the primitive life of the peasants. Many sporting activities in the area: basketball, tennis, soccer, volleyball, bocce, canoeing, fishing, etc...

Step back in time to the old France of farms and castles and caves and stone villages; and after touring, enjoy a wonderful bottle of Bergerac or Bordeaux Wine with some of France's famous cheeses!

And after a day of touring, unwind in the Jacuzzi and enjoy the unobstructed view of the myriad of stars!
