A Dordogne country break in a holiday rental with a swimming pool
Did you know that the Dordogne is the former Périgord province, and that there is not one, but four different Périgords? So going on holiday in the Dordogne will either land you in green, white, purple, or black Périgord. Black Périgord got its name from the dark foliage of its forests, but also from the charcoal burners who transformed wood into coal in a bygone era.
In black Périgord you will find the very charming town of Sarlat-la-Canéda. A recognised Town of Arts and History, it presents the opportunity to travel back in time. Discover its winding, cobbled streets, admire the distinctive colour of the limestone of the houses which reflect the sunlight, and discover viewpoints from high up on the stone roofs. Wander through the narrow streets and climb to the top of the former bell tower of St. Mary’s church, now a covered market. Don't hesitate to continue your visit: the city is listed in the record books as having the highest concentration of listed historical monuments in the world!
If you want to see this magic up close, you can stay at the Clos du Rocher*** Residence in Eyzies-de-Tayac, not far from Sarlat. Your holiday rental in the Dordogne has everything you need to feel at home: well-equipped apartments with a terrace or garden. But above all, a swimming pool is at your disposal in the residence. If you prefer to exercise and enjoy the many delights of the surrounding nature, head for the hiking trails around your holiday rental in the Dordogne with a pool.
Experience a relaxing stay from your holiday rental in the Dordogne with a swimming pool
Your holiday home is only a few minutes away from Sarlat, the top local attraction. Just because you're in the countryside doesn't mean there's no entertainment. The town, as well as being the setting for many historical films, is alive and kicking all year round.
Stroll from market to market, each one more attractive than the next. The Dordogne is a place of tradition, and there is no shortage of culinary specialities. You can taste these delicacies at one of the many restaurants in Sarlat.
All summer long, street festivals enliven the squares and backstreets. For even more folklore, go to the Dordogne valley to visit the castles. The Vézère valley is home to a breathtaking series of prehistoric UNESCO World Heritage Sites, such as the Lascaux cave.
