Window in Eymet

The ancient buildings of Pierrot are set in the heart of the French countryside. It is a beautiful area of low, rolling hills covered with orchards and vineyards. The 15th century property is built around a central courtyard, with fifteen acres of surrounding, private parkland. The nearest country road is over 200 metres away!The 2 cottages are about 50 metres away from each other, each with their own pool and garden. Both sleep 6 - a total of 12 to 14. Ideal for a two-family break.

Near the historic market town of Duras, Pierrot is within an easy drive of the Dordogne valley. The wine chateaux of St. Emilion/Bordeaux and Entre Deux Mers are close by, as are the bastides (fortified towns) of the Guyenne (a region that provided the backcloth to the Hundred Years War).

Available locally are golf, tennis, canoeing and horse-riding. Also within a short distance is a large lake with a water-slide.

As you might expect in this part of France, where local people expect to eat well, there is an abundance of excellent, well-priced restaurants.

The resident English owners, Peter & Jane Jarvis, who have over 15 years experience in the holiday-cottage business, are onhand to help you make the most of your stay.

We are only a ½ hour drive from Bergerac or 1½ hours from Bordeaux. Flights to Bergerac are available from London Stansted, Southampton, Bristol, Birmingham and Liverpool. Flights to Bordeaux are available from Bristol, Birmingham, Manchester and Nottingham East Midlands.Travelling here for a break is now really easy!
