A beautiful farmhouse in Les Eyzies

24620 Les Eyzies

Nearest town: Les Eyzies & Sarlat

Le Grande Maison (Sleeps up to 12) - This beautiful farmhouse is part of an ensemble of 4 luxury homes in the heart of the Dordogne called Le Banquet. On the edge of the world famous village of Les Eyzies and in a wonderful riverside setting, these charming houses have been lovingly restored preserving their character with the use of oak beams, sandstone walls and wood and tiled floors. The well-equipped houses each have satellite TV and their own separate terrace with BBQ and garden furniture.

A pretty river runs through the 4-acre estate and helps make the extensive grounds and stunning gardens, an ideal place for relaxation. The swimming pool is positioned to gain maximum hours of sunshine with ample shade provided by walnut, apple and pear trees. All are well catered for with a children’s splash pool and play area with swings, slide and badminton. There is also a well equipped games & information room housing table football, pool, table tennis, darts etc. Friendly but unobtrusive owners live on site to provide
a warm welcome.



La Grande Maison at Le Banquet sleeps up to 12 people comfortably.
The first floor has two large family suites, each with a double bedroom together with their own en-suite bathrooms and bunk bedrooms.
On the second floor, there are two very large and pretty oak beamed twin bedrooms both with en-suite bathrooms.
Downstairs you can relax, in the spacious, comfortable living room with its impressive original fireplace or cook and dine in the large fully fitted kitchen and dining room. Better still, take advantage of warmer weather and eat outside, shaded by old vines on the terrace.
The property has all creature comforts including washing machine, dishwasher, microwave etc.
We think this is one of the most beautiful houses in the Dordogne!

Activities
From golf to horse riding, biking, canoeing or fishing, the Dordogne has something to offer everyone.

Canoes and kayaks are available to hire along the banks of the Dordogne and Vezere rivers. Being wide and generally shallow, both rivers can be enjoyed whether you are a beginner or a skilled amateur.

For golfers there are good courses in the area. The course at Le Bugue is 18 holes and is just 15 kilometres from ‘Le Banquet’. Tennis lovers can use the local municipal courts in Les Eyzies.

If you enjoy hiking, then the area has some tremendous walks with breathtaking scenery. Come in the autumn and you may well discover wild mushrooms as you trek.

If you are an angler, there are plentiful rivers and lakes in which to fish. From Chub to Carp almost all types of fish can be caught, indeed the pretty river which runs through ‘Le Banquet’ contains Trout and Roach.

On site, ‘Le Banquet’ has a games and information room equipped with table tennis, table football, pool, darts etc. If you are not feeling too active then why not wander through the grounds or relax by the swimming pool. For the little ones there is a children’s play area with swings and slide together with outdoor badminton.

Attractions

The Area
Dramatic rock faces, sparkling rivers, green valleys, Chateaux, Medieval villages, prehistoric caves and brilliant sunlight. The Dordogne, the very heart of Perigord 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 surrounding ‘Le Banquet’ is dominated by pre-history, beautiful architecture and gastronomy. The local markets are full to brimming with some of the best produce France has to offer. Whether you wish to visit the local caves with their drawings dating back 20,000 years, picnic by the banks of the Vezere river, taste the excellent wines from Bergerac, Cahors and surround or canoe and perhaps fish, ‘Le Banquet’ is at the very heart of it all.

If you are a food lover, then welcome to gastronomic heaven! Ceps, truffles and Foie Gras are all readily available as are the freshest vegetables, herbs, meat, poultry and game. Simply visit one of the many local markets to stock up on good things to prepare back in your cottage kitchen.

If you prefer to eat out, Les Eyzies and the surrounding area has many excellent restaurants.
