Bourdarias is tucked away in the countryside set in it’s own large garden where peace and calm prevail. The village of Saint Jean d’Eyraud is just a short stroll down the lane and Bergerac is 15km away. Surrounded by woodland there is only one other neighbouring property in view and this modern house offers the perfect place to relax and unwind.
Entering from the front of the property there is a large open plan living split level living area with dining room, solid wood table seating six, fully fitted kitchen with dishwasher and a step down into the lounge area with TV and patio doors leading onto the garden terrace.
The kitchen has an electric oven, gas/electric hob (3 gas rings, 1 electric), extractor, fridge freezer, microwave, coffee machine and toaster, plus all the usual pots and pans, cutlery, plates and glasses.
The house is also equipped with a washing machine, iron and ironing board, hair dryer in the bathroom and bedding, towels and linen are provided.
The village church dates from the 12th century and is a fine example of a fortified church.
The old village “lavoir” or wash house has been restored as a picnic area and from
the centre of the village there are a number of sign posted country paths taking
you through the surrounding countryside and forest.
The garden is some 3000 m2 and has a garden swing and gas barbeque. The grounds are completely private with private parking.
The house benefits from full central heating and the lounge is air conditioned. In addition to the television (French channels) there is a DVD player.
The two double bedrooms are one king size (180 cm x 200 cm) and one standard (140 cm x 200 cm) and there is comfortable seating in the lounge for six.
In the west of the Dordogne lies one of France’s most well-
Often called the gateway to the Perigord region, Bergerac was founded in the 11th century, it was an important town, predominantly because it had the only bridge across the River Dordogne in the whole region.
Wine production and exportation helped the town grow during the Middle Ages and is still an extremely important today.
One of the biggest highlights of a trip to Bergerac is a visit to the old town with it’s lovely, medieval, timbered buildings, streets and quaint squares, pvement cafes and little shops.
While you are in the old town, you must visit the Maison de Vins de Bergerac. This 12th century cloister is easily the town’s most attractive building. It was previously a monastery and nowadays, it houses exhibitions about Bergerac’s wine heritage. If you are in Bergerac in the winter, the Maison de Vins plays host to a Christmas market.
Being so close to the river, it would be a shame not to try a boat trip taking you up the river, enabling you to enjoy the beautiful countryside from a different perspective.
Bergerac’s markets are held every Wednesday and Saturday at Place Gambetta at the top of town. Both are “large and lively traditional French markets” which travel writers say should not be missed.
