Walking holidays at Cottages de Garrigue

​

Cottages de Garrigue is a great base for walking and exploring. We're rurally based, but close enough to towns and villages with lots of restaurants and shops. We will be happy to help plan your activities.

​

Our three cottages suit all group sizes from couples, up to 16 people. We have 3 self catering cottages and for larger groups we can discuss breakfasts, packed lunches and evening meals.

 

Dordogne & lot et Garonne

​

We are located on the southern Dordogne border with the Lot et Garonne department (equivalent of a UK county). Both are rural and impressive. The mighty Dordogne, Lot and Garonne rivers pass through this region on their way to the Atlantic coast. To the east are 80km of vineyards heading to Bordeaux. To the west is the Dordogne valley that becomes more forested, with cliffs over the river. To the immediate south is the L'Escourou reservoir with the rolling hills beyond, and to the north are the ancient towns of Bergerac and Périgueux.

 

The far-reaching views are typified by Périgordian buildings, arable farmland, neat grape vines, oak forests and the winding rivers. Old tobacco sheds, churches and water towers pin point historic interest. The region is seasonally important for orchids, truffles and hearty food.
