The medieval Bastide towns of Beaumont, Castillonnès, Eymet, Issigeac, and Monpazier with their weekly markets are close by and offer restaurants to suit every budget and every taste. There are many exciting caves to visit including the well-known caves of Lascaux with their prehistoric cave paintings and artefacts. The many beautiful Châteaux are worth a visit, Château Monbazillac with its famous sweet wine; the abandoned fairy tale Château Biron; Château Bridoire; magnificent Château Lanqais and Josephine Baker´s Château Les Milandes. Hikers will find designated routes.
For painters and photographers, there are many picturesque views to capture, like the 12th century chapel of Monbos. You can visit the wine producers to taste and purchase wine. In the village of Singleyrac (4,5 km) you will find a small shop for daily shopping in Bouniagues, a little further away, there is a larger general store and post office. Extensive shopping can be done in Eymet. The famous cuisine of the area can be found in the excellent local restaurants. You can find the major product of the area - white and red wine - in the various chateaux and small vineyards.
Sports - There are several golf courses in the neighbourhood and a tennis court (to rent) at Castillonnes (6km). Canoeing is possible at several locations along the Dordogne. It is also a superb environment for walking, cycling and horse back riding.
