Top places to visit nearby:
Aubeterre sur Dronne – Aubeterre has the largest monolithic church in Europe.
Riberac & Brantome – On Friday mornings the market in Riberac is one of the largest in the Dordogne. We’d highly recommend spending Friday morning in Riberac followed by the afternoon in Brantome.
Brantome, also known as the Venice of Périgord, is a stunning village with a river flowing prettily through it.
Angouleme – The tourist office is close to Les Halles where there is a market every morning. Trips on the Charente river are also available.

Futuroscope, Poitiers – A wonderful theme park based on scientific principles of light and sound.
The Dordogne Valley – Beautiful scenery in picture postcard villages such as Belves and Roque Gagaec.
Caves and Grottos in Dordogne – Many famous caves including Lascaux with its world renown prehistoric cave paintings at Montignac. Many other examples of caves with stalactites and stalagmites, and caves that were used as towns, occupied until the 16th century.
Sarlat – A stunning medieval town with lots of craft and gift shops, scattered throughout its winding, narrow streets. Plenty of restaurants and beautiful when lit up at night.
Périgueux – Many museums and the attractions of a large town. Trips on the river. Many large retail parks on the outskirts.
