Dordogne Region
Dordogne Holiday HomesOur Dordogne Holiday Homes are all within 20 km of our own home at Fleuret, 3km from the mediaeval village of Curemonte and 30km from Brive-la-Gaillarde.
A comfortable days drive from the main channel ports, we offer ferry and euro tunnel discounts to all our guests.
For those wanting a more relaxed drive, motor rail runs from Calais to Brive from May to October- put your car on the train in Calais on Friday evening, spend the night in a cabin on the train, and wake up in Brive the next morning, just 30 minutes drive from our accommodation in the Dordogne valley!
Reaching us by air gets easier each year as budget airlines expand their routes. Limoges airport is just over an hours drive away and has direct flights from London Stanstead, Liverpool, East Midlands, Leeds, Manchester Edinburgh, Bristol, Bournemouth and Southampton, on either Ryanair or Flybe.
Other airlines such as Jet2 and BMIbaby fly into Bergerac, Toulouse and Bordeaux, all of which are within 2 hours drive. Brive International Airport, just 35 minutes drive away, is due to open in June 2010.
If you enjoy traveling by train, Brive is just 4 hours from Paris-Austerlitz, which coupled with the new eurostar service from London St Pancreas to Paris Gare du Nord means you can travel from London to Brive in around 7 hours.
Curemonte and it's surroundings

The village of Curemonte dates back to the 11th century and has been honoured with the title of
"L'un des plus beaux villages de France". Despite its numerous attractions (3 Chateaux, 3 churches and a market hall),
it remains very much a working village, with a post office, bar/tabac and three restaurants.
There is also a local farmers market once a week in the summer months. Beaulieu sur Dordogne, just 10 minutes from
Curemonte and, as its name suggests, situated on the Dordogne River, is a small market town with many shops, several
bars and restaurants and a twice-weekly market. The Benedictine Abbey and Chapelle des Penitents are in the centre of
the town, canoes can be hired at the river, as well as boat trips on the traditional "Gabares".
