Location: Le Bugue, Aquitaine, France, Europe (40 min. to Perigueux, Sarlat; 2 hours to Bordeaux, Toulouse)

Accommodations:  Cottage, 1 Bedroom + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath (Sleeps 3-5)

In a quiet rural village named Savignac de Miremont, halfway between Perigueux and Sarlat, close to Les Eyzies and Le Bugue, on a south facing slope overlooking a little valley with woods and pastures,a lovely stone house can become your home for a week or more.
The cottage, we call it "la Grange", has been lovingly restored by its former owners without losing anything of its rustic charm, with tile floor, exposed stone work, and oak beams. The main room, 200 square feet, with an open fireplace, opens directly onto the private salt water pool (36 x 16 ft) through wide French doors which make the room light and airy.
On the right, one step leads up to the open kitchen fitted with oak cabinets, fully-equipped with gas cooker, microwave oven, fridge, washing machine and dishwasher. The bathroom leads off the kitchen and has a shower, a sink and toilets. An oak staircase leads up to a 320 square foot bedroom under the exposed, and yet insulated, roof framework. It has a queen size bed, an antique single bed (1.20m) and a chest of drawers.
There is an additional comfortable sofa bed for two people in the main room.
The swimming pool takes full advantage of the view across the countryside and is surrounded by a low wall of local honey coloured stone in keeping with the other buildings. On a lower terrace, you will find a bowl court, where you may learn (or teach) how to play "petanque" during the sunny afternoon hours. The cottage has its own garden (with furniture) easy to reach if you want to eat out, unless you prefer to stay on the terrace by the swimming pool.
This house is ideal for a couple or even for three people, but guests can also drop in and use the convertible bed.
It is a very quiet place with privacy, but you may also choose to join us in our house across the courtyard for a chat about the local restaurants, or recipes, over a drink of local wine.

It is an ideal spot to discover the Black Perigord and you will:
- enjoy visiting the National Prehistory Museum in Les Eyzies, and the caves of Lascaux (the Sixtine Chapel of prehistory as many scholars say), Rouffignac, Font-de-Gaume, Les Combarelles, Cap Blanc...,
- go back in time in the medieval castles of Beynac, Castelnaud, Montfort, Fayrac...,
- stroll in the fortified villages of Domme, Montpazier, Issigeac...,
- enjoy canoeing down the Dordogne or the Vezere or maybe fly over it in a Montgolfiere, a hot-air balloon...,
- and come back reconciled with the world to a meal of foie gras, confit de canard, or cepe omelette, the local specialties, with a glass of Bergerac wine.

We are looking forward to welcoming you to Savignac de Miremont.

  • We stayed at the cottage in early september 2009. It really was one of those times when both our hosts hospitality, and the cottage exceeded our hopes by miles and miles. The cottage is the perfect combination of modern convenience and old world charm, with a very "homey" feel. The village is very well situated to visit all the attractions in the area, and with Le Bugue nearby has all the practical needs covered too. We can definately reccomend La Grange and the ideal place to be for the Perigord region. A second visit is definately in our future.

  • In September '08 my Husband & I spent a week at "La Grange" for some much needed time out from our hectic lives... we could not have chosen better accommodation or destination! The Cottage was delightful, peaceful and well situated. We so enjoyed the Perigord region and all that it had to offer. One of the huge benefits of this village was the location.It meant we were able to do several day trips without having to travel too great a distance. A fond memory is enjoying local wine and paella on the balcony while looking across the pool to the green pastures in the distance, all that could be heard was the chime of church bells. Our hosts were warm and welcoming with useful resources and information so we could make the most of our time away. This was the perfect place to engage in the French way of life, recharge our batteries and leave with very fond memories.

  • We stayed in the cottage for 4 nights in October, 2008. We were looking forward to the visit and it exceeded our expectations in every way. It is well furnished, comfortable and in an absolutely beautiful setting. We would definitely recommend this rental
