Surroundings
Les Gites Fleuris is located on a quiet, one-lane road, in a beautiful corner of paradise. The small hamlet of 18c stone Perigordian farmhouses is charming and quiet. The number of passing cars per day can be counted on one hand. The area has rolling hills, woods and farm fields with horses and cows, the typical landscape of the Dordogne. The windows of the Wisteria cottage overlook the landscape and the beautiful view!
Walk out your door, through fields and woods, and even to the local castle, the Chateau de Hautefort (3km)! Fruit trees are on the property, and you are welcome to pick and eat what is in season! Take a walk down to say hello to our horses, they love a carrot and a stroke. The French neighbour's chickens and ducks provide a calming atmosphere.
The village of St Agnan is less than 1 km away (including the bakery, the church, the bank with ATM and the restaurant where pizzas can also be collected). The supermarket (Intermarche open 7 days a week!) is in Hautefort 2 minutes away by car. The local medical centre is 2 minutes walk from the hill, and there are 2 pharmacies (Hautefort and Cherviex). The Tourist Office is in Hautefort, and has all the brochures you need to see the possible excursions. We are here - on site to help you plan some great day trips to the World Heritage Site! Hautefort also has 6 other restaurants to choose from.
Furthermore, all the villages in the immediate vicinity are worth visiting, especially for their characteristic old alleyways, old churches (preferably from the 13th century), abbeys and castles. Further away are the caves of Lascaux and the medieval village of Sarlat.

Reviews
Marianne from Brussels,
We stayed in the Gites Fleuris for 2 weeks with two families (3 teenagers and 2 babies of under 1y old) during the summer. It was perfection! The houses are cozy and spacious, with well-equipped kitchens, and as fresh as possible during a heatwave. The gardens are beautiful, with lots of shadow for the babies, different little corners to sit and relax, or to play badminton, with playgrounds, slides, ... , and with beautiful views. The (heated) swimming pool is big, refreshing and perfectly clean! There are two different terraces to eat, equipped with mosquito screens (in general there were hardly any mosquitos), and two different bbq's (one with charcoal and one with gas). The playroom is even nicer than we imagined; we found toys for each age, even the adults! Renata and her husband are incredibly friendly and helpful. They did an amazing job with the houses and the gardens. The location is ideal, with lots of small and bigger villages around, hiking paths, cultural activities, markets, really good restaurants (5min drive), ... We'll be back!!
Natasja Son-A-Hing from Den Haag,
Fantastische vakantie gehad.....Op een prachtige locatie met zwembad, tuinen en terrassen. De kinderen kunnen zich ook prima vermaken in de grote speelkamer. Het huis ligt in een prachtige omgeving. Eigenaren zijn ontzettend vriendelijk en behulpzaam!
Restaurants, food & wine
As the saying goes, "You'll eat well in Périgord". Surrounded by farms, everything here is fresh from farm to table. This area is known for pate de fois gras, confit de canard (duck), walnuts, black truffles and nearby wine from Bergerac, St Emilion and Bordeaux. Visit the farms to see the feeding of the ducks, taste the locally made goat cheese, see the truffle trees and taste the local walnut cakes. The gem, of course, is the fois gras paired with a glass of Monbazillac wine.
The local restaurants have great food that will delight your pallets, with some Michelin stars just a short drive away.
Activities
The Dordogne has beautiful rolling hills, with stunning views of the countryside. Take a walk to town past grazing cows on the small one-lane road. Walking, cycling, canoeing, lots of outdoor activities.
Known for food and wine, great restaurants, open air markets, fresh farm produce. There are also 1001 castles, cromagnon cave art, and amazing caves. So much history and interesting places to keep you busy, or just relax by the pool with a good book listening to the birds.
