Restaurants, shops, tennis, at Villeréal and Castillonnès 6 and 7 km, both of which are typical 'bastide' or fortified towns that bear witness to the English presence here during the 100 Years war. Golf at Castelnau 15 min drive. Swimming and leisure facilities at Lougrate Lake 15 min drive. Bergerac with its lovely lanes and shops also has great choice of restaurants 35 min drive.

Historic sites and châteaux abound in the area, but the spectacular situation of the château at Beynac-et-Cazenac, 1 hour drive, high on cliffs above the river, makes it particularly worth a visit.
