Location description

Lot et Garonne lies just south of the Dordogne in the Périgord. In this picturesque countryside of rolling hills are vineyards, orchards, walnut trees and fields full of sunflowers, rapeseed and corn. This is also the area of the plum trees that provide the Pruneaux d'Agen. The area is still fairly unknown and off the main tourist track and thus offers an oasis of peace, tranquillity and space. The small towns and villages are full of character and the people are friendly. If not for the many Bastides (fortresses) to be found in almost every village around here, it would be hard to believe that in the 14th and 15th century this was the place the 100 years war between the English and the French was fought. Almost every day of the week there is a local market to be found in the surrounding towns and villages, such as Cancon, Monpazier, Monflanquin, Villeréal or Issigeac, all of which date back to the middle ages. Andante is 1km. from the village St. Vivien, which belongs to the community of St. Eutrope de Born. Tennis: as a guest of Andante you have free access to the local tennis court of St. Vivien. There are local maps for walking/cycling etc. There are many small lakes in the area in which you can swim and fish. On the camping site in Lougratte (15 mins. from Andante) there are excellent swimming facilities. Rugby: if you want to watch a rugby match, check what is on in Villeréal. The Villeréal Rugby Club is well known, plays league-level matches and is over 100 years old.
