Practice your short game in the backyard (or your long game if you have plenty of balls) there's 12 acres out there after all.

September special at La Fleurie: €100 a night.

Pool, countryside, plenty of space and several golf courses nearby, including Rochebois just outside Sarlat.

Bring the clubs. Bring the family. We’re not judging.

Fancy the Dordogne in September? 🇫🇷

We’ve had a rare opening at La Fleurie this September, so if you’ve ever fancied spending some time in the Dordogne after the summer rush, this could be the perfect opportunity.

La Fleurie is a restored stone farmhouse set in 12 acres of countryside with a private pool. There is plenty of privacy and some of the most beautiful villages, markets and countryside in southwest France on the doorstep.

September is lovely. The pool is still open, the markets and restaurants are quieter, since the peak summer crowds have started to disappear.

We’re open to short stays, a couple of weeks, or potentially a longer September stay for the right guests.

If you’ve been thinking about escaping to rural France and having a peaceful, proper break, send me a message.

La Fleurie, Dordogne 🇫🇷
Near Sarlat-la-Canéda

Feel free to share with anyone who might fancy a September in France.

🚴 The Tour is passing our corner of the Dordogne this year

If you're staying at La Fleurie, this is not the day to spend indoors. Pack a picnic lunch, grab a rug from the barn, and make your way to the route. Find a spot by the roadside and join thousands of spectators for one of France's most iconic events.

Our gite is available from Monday the 6th of July - Sunday the 12th of July. Stage 8 is on the 11th.

There'll be helicopters overhead, cheering crowds, cars, tv crews and an atmosphere that's hard to describe until you've experienced it for yourself.

The riders pass in seconds, but you can make a day of it.
Nearby viewing points include:

📍 Saint-Léon-sur-Vézère (12:30)
📍 Tursac (12:45)
📍 Les Eyzies (12:54)
📍 Allas (13:12)
📍 Sarlat-la-Canéda (13:26)
📍 Vitrac (13:41)
📍 Domme (13:50)

A little tip: you don't need to battle the crowds in the larger towns. Some of the best viewing spots are found in the smaller villages and along the country roads where you can simply roll out a picnic rug and enjoy the spectacle as it passes by.

🍷 And the best part? You'll still be back at La Fleurie in time for an afternoon swim and a glass of rosé by the pool.

€1500 for 7 nights.

Only 15 minutes drive from us, this little gem is a must when visiting the Dordogne.

Les Eyzies-de-Tayac in the Dordogne is the self-proclaimed world capital of prehistory, with over 200 prehistoric sites within a 25-kilometre radius including the Abri de Cap Blanc, the Grotte de Font-de-Gaume, and the extraordinary Grotte des Combarelles.

The National Museum of Prehistory in the village contains the finest collection of Palaeolithic art objects in the world.

Entry to the National Museum of Prehistory costs around 6 euros.

Those who combine a museum visit with a guided tour of the Font-de-Gaume cave describe it as the most significant and most completely extraordinary prehistoric experience available anywhere in the Dordogne.
