Situated just 2 minutes walk from the river Vezere and the village of Le Moustier the house has a perfect view of Le Roque St Christophe. This kilometer long cave inhabited from prehistoric times until the 17th century is spectacular when illuminated at night. Le Moustier is a pretty village close to the Vezere river, although small it has a bar/restaurant/tabac and a boulangerie. There are delightful walks along the riverbank and for the more adventurous canoes and kayaks can be hired at several stages along the river.
Les Granges is within easy reach of the beautiful medieval towns of Sarlat and Perigueux and the famous cave paintings of Lascaux and Les Eyzies are only approx 15 mins drive away, well worth a visit.
