Location description
Dramatic rock faces, sparkling rivers, green valleys, Chateaux, medieval villages, prehistoric caves and brilliant sunlight. The Dordogne, has been described by some as paradise. As you pass fields of sunflowers and corn and marvel at castles towering at the top of cliffs you begin to understand why!
The region is dominated by pre-history, beautiful architecture and gastronomy. Whether you wish to visit the local caves with their drawings dating back 20,000 years (The Font de Gaume is a UNESCO world heritage site at Les Eyzies), discover the castles and bastides of the Dordogne; canoe and then picnic on the banks of the Vezere or Dordogne rivers, taste the excellent wines from Bergerac & Cahors, ‘Le Jardin des Amis’ is at the heart of it all.
The local markets sell some of the best produce France has to offer: the beautiful town of Sarlat having one of the biggest markets in the SW.
During the main summer season many evening markets are also held, often with live music and hot food stalls.

5 stars!
June 2017, Steve Rich:
A wonderful terrace of five gîtes and two self contained flats with a swimming pool in an idyllic part of the Dordogne. A place where you can either come and relax from the maddening crowds or visit the local château and castles. Combined with the local food, wine and cheese and you have in my mind the perfect holiday.
September 2016, Lucy Lamb:
Very warm and welcoming. Particularly forebearing with our party's 3 very small children. Loved the pool and the location.

Mid Winter Holiday
We visited Le Jardin des amis in mid-winter and used it as a base from which to search for a house of our own. The weather was cold dreary, -well it was February - and it rained a lot of the time, but the cottage was cosy and had all the equipment we needed. It was particularly nice to have a wood burner and a massive amount of wood! The location was very pleasant too. Sunday market in St Cyprien nearby was great.
Another afternoon the sun came out and we walked through some wonderful woodlands. The old village of Meyrals was very pretty indeed and the bakery there was excellent. Getting to the bigger towns in the Vezere was easy and it was great to be close to Les Eyzies.
Jon and Sue couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. They gave us plenty of space but were always available for help and advice if asked. They were good company, too, and we had a nice evening in their gorgeous barn conversion. Obviously in that weather we couldn't benefit from the pool or grounds but it was nice to have a little front garden and rear terrace and when the sun did shine we sat out as much as we could. The terrace would have been a real sun trap a little later in the year.
