Les Amandiers is perfectly placed to see the best of the Dordogne and Lot regions with various castles, pre-historic sites and mediaeval towns all within an hour's drive. The chateaux of Biron, Bonaguil, Beynac, Les Milandes, Monbazillac and others are not far away and all worth a visit.
Wonderful local markets show off the products of the region's agriculture and include the local delicacies of cepe mushrooms, walnut oil, truffles and foie gras. A huge network of paths winds through the local woods around Lacapelle Biron which is also at the crossing point of two Grandes Randonnees (way marked walks) which you can explore on foot, horseback or bike.

We had an amazing time at Les Amandiers. Great location. Pool is clean and great size! The property had everything we needed. The kitchen was amazing and the patio outside the main bedroom is beautiful and so peaceful. Great area to cycle and walk. Our children loved the large garden which they could play games in. Definitely would recommend.
Guest rating:
We had the most fantastic week away last week. Your house, the pool and the garden were all completely brilliant. We love the setting with the view down the valley and the short walk to the village was ideal. We were really impressed with the local towns as too, such a beautiful part of France to explore.
Guest rating:
Having spent numerous holidays in sites and homes throughout France over the years, we can honestly say that Les Amandiers is our favourite. The location is delightful - very private and peaceful yet only a short walk to the village. The house is extremely clean, of an excellent standard and equipped with everything you could possibly need. Our children spent hours in the lovely salt water swimming pool, which was very safe and we spent nearly every evening barbecuing under the stars. We would definitely recommend Les Amandiers if you are looking for a relaxing holiday in the French countryside.
