LA QUEYRELIE: is a tiny hamlet nestling in the side of a beautiful valley and is situated at the end of a secluded country lane. It is not even shown on some maps! The lane is a no-through road. Although not far by car from the access to the new auto route and the N89 as well as the D704 there is absolutely no traffic noise from these roads. The position of the property is a ramblers paradise with designated and signposted rambling trails in Le Grand Coderc; the trails are marked accordingly: red and white for the “GR” routes (long-distance footpaths), yellow for the local routes, and blue for the “PR” routes (walks). it is very easy to get lost in acres of verdant countryside so it is highly recommended that these paths are used for off road walking. There is a very good restaurant within walking distance of La Queyrelie in the neighbouring village of Le Grand Coderc (where we live). People come from far and wide for the traditional regional cuisine offered by this restaurant. The village of Azerat (approx. 5mins. drive) is not within comfortable walking distance other than for hill walking enthusiasts. Azerat only has one bar restaurant now but it does have a grocers/ post office, a swimming pool, a shady boules pitch and a tennis court. Thenon, a small market town, is about five minutes drive from Azerat and has several very good restaurants, a good selection of shops and a Tuesday morning market. St Rabier on the D704 (6 mins drive) has a grocers/bar/snack bar and an excellent highly recommended restaurant with a wider choice of menu than the traditional regional cuisine. There are many other very good restaurants locally with menus for a five course meal from around 12 euros often with wine included. The beautiful Chateau town of Hautefort and the lake Coucou are within 15 minutes drive and Montignac about 20 mins by car. Our excellent local doctor in Hautefort is English speaking.

There is an optional 2 bedroom, two bathroom Guest house to the property which will remain unoccupied during your visit unless of course you wish to invite friends or family to join you. The Guest House can be rented on a daily basis.

Terrasson is on the border of the Corrèze where can be discovered the ancient religious city of Rocamadour, Enthusiastic building restoration is a passion in this region and there is much to be admired from the lovingly restored old buildings, which seem to be found in almost every hamlet or village, to the renovated old quarters of the towns.

This area of the Dordogne is between Hautefort, in the White Pèrigord, and Montignac, in the Black Pèrigord. It is characterised by lush countryside, gently rolling hills, impressive caves and woodlands, rivers and lakes, sleepy hamlets and charming friendly people.
