Le Pradal

The house is very typical of the architecture in this part of the Dordogne and has
every comfort. It is about 5 minutes from Siorac-en-Périgord, set in a large garden
where children can run around freely with spectacular views over the valley.
Siorac is a village on the Dordogne river with a popular weekly market, a variety
of shops, restaurants and cafes. Sarlat, our closest town 25 km away, has a
larger selection of shops and a lively centre with lovely Renaissance buildings,
restaurants, good food shops and colourful markets.

This is an area of gentle wooded hills, scattered with walnut groves, orchards and
small farms, many of which you can visit to buy foie gras and duck breasts or
strawberries. There are endless quiet country lanes, ideal for cycling that take you
off the beaten track through hidden valleys and hamlets. The wildlife is rich and
varied; red squirrels, nightingales, golden orioles and hoopoes, sometimes a
glimpse of deer and on warm summer evenings, the song of the crickets.

An entrance hall with a downstairs wc, leads into a large living room,
comfortably furnished with a fireplace, television and DVD and four windows
opening onto the terrace. The country kitchen is fully equipped with everything
necessary and includes a dishwasher. The dining area of the kitchen
opens onto a terrace with tables and parasols.
There is also a washing machine, ironing facilities, a highchair and cot.

Two of the four bedrooms are on the ground floor and share a luxurious bathroom
with both bath and shower. The two upstairs bedrooms each have their own
bathrooms and separate wc. All the bedrooms have twin beds, which can be made
into double beds if preferred.

A double garage in the same style as the house has a variety of children's games,
table tennis and darts.

Siorac lies on one of the most beautiful stretches of the river and has a canoe
hire base and places to spend a day fishing. There is also a 9 and 18 hole golf
course within ten minutes of the house.

Sarlat is a medieval town with cobbled streets, lantern lit at night and with gabled
houses, golden limestone buildings and stone fountains. While the shops are
always filled with regional goodies, the best time to visit is on Saturday, when the
market takes place. In summer it is filled with fruits and vegetables, cheeses and
flowers, while between November and March, shoppers haggle over fat geese,
foie gras and truffles.

If you like shopping, flea-markets (brocante) or jazz concerts, canoeing or just
wandering around a lovely riverside town, then you love Bergerac. The jazz
concerts, in summer every Wednesday, are free. The shops are small but
exquisite, the restaurants in the old quarter, some of which have art exhibitions,
have good menus offering a choice of local dishes at very reasonable prices.
