Restaurants, food & wine
There are numerous delicious restaurants in the area, ranging from a sumptuous dinner or lunch in the most beautiful castles to cosy dining in the market square.
If you walk down from the house (note, you also have to go back up....) you will come to the bakery "Gourmandise de Luco". Delicious bread, blissful cakes and a nice walk.
We ourselves always like Snack D'Envaux (no snack bar) to sit down for a while, it has a nice terrace by the water. In season, once a week they have "Moules Frites", or delicious mussels and chips, and there is music, always fun. The menu is really super simple and there is nothing fancy about the restaurant, but the people are nice and the atmosphere is good.
We also like to eat in the village at La Taverne, which is a cosy restaurant by the fountain. If you want something more luxurious to eat, we can recommend "L'Epicure" and also "Chateau de Monrecour". Especially on Sundays, lunch is still important in France and you'll have a lovely seat at both places, with a preference for the former.
Activities
La Croix des Forges is in a wonderfully quiet location, yet with all amenities nearby. Think of the local bakery and butcher, but also of cosy markets and larger supermarkets.
Historical villages such as Beynac and Domme are also just a stone's throw away. The Dordogne itself (visible from the garden and the house) is less than a 5-minute drive away.
Numerous hiking trails, canoe rental companies, climbing parks and even several amusement parks are nearby, without being bothered by them. In short, a wonderful base, both for complete relaxation and for the adventurous traveller. Families will love it because there really is something for everyone!
