Dordogne Holiday Rental Cottages near Sarlat in the Perigord Noir, France / La Bergerie

You are tempted by the Perigord Noir? Holidays Dordogne? you ask. Someone tells you about Sarlat, Domme, castles, fortified towns, prehistory, and canoeing on the river Dordogne. Someone also mentions the numerous Perigord Noir cottages and other holiday rentals there!

But among so many gites and self-catering Dordogne cottages, how will you find your own perfect Perigord Noir cottage? You would like it to be comfortable, a stone house with a swimming pool if possible, with a view, in a quiet and charming area but very near the tourist sites?

But where are these holiday cottages ?

So imagine …

At the end of this holiday journey perhaps you will have followed the river Dordogne, found the famous Perigord Noir area, and certainly passed beneath some castle or fortified town, perched on a cliff. The village of La Roque Gageac is very near, but you leave the lively valley to climb up a small road to the hills. The slope is short (1 mile) but charming: the noise abates, the atmosphere becomes quiet and the view expands. A stone wall, the entrance to Roquecombe, and here is the place!

The cottages extend all around the little valley. You recognise your own cottage, but you turn your eyes a moment towards the Dordogne valley, now visible down through the hills …

You were looking for a holiday rental. You have found a quiet place, so far from everywhere … but so near everywhere.

Because everything is near the Roquecombe gites: you are in the heart of the Perigord Noir. The rental houses are at 8km from Sarlat, and 2km from the river Dordogne. Domme is on the opposite hilltop, Castelnaud or Beynac castles and the Marqueyssac gardens are within range of a "trebuchet".

LA BERGERIE - A separate, private house, surrounded by woods, La Bergerie is heaven on earth for those who look for shade and freshness during the hot season. The sunbeams break through the forest of chestnut trees and illuminate the clearing around the house.

La Bergerie is an independent house, at the far end of the circular valley. It is just across the meadow and you will find a shaded parking area along the house. From either side, you can climb up along the timbered hillside to find beautiful paths, mushrooms in season and even a teepee!
