Such a unique and characterful property, we really felt that we were 'at home' from the minute we arrived. Despite the exceptional heat at the time the house was always cool, and the AC was particularly welcome at night. Communication with Joel was brilliant, and the car park pass made life very easy.La Roque Gageac is a beautiful place, we have visited before but not stayed there, this time we were able to live like a local, explore the village, canoe on the river, and visit the local chateaux, villages, gardens and markets. 20 minutes walk along the river there is a lovely beach, with shady trees and crystal clear water, perfect for swimming and watching the canoes and gabarres pass by. There are some lovely restaurants in the Bourg; we were spoiled for choice. The Friday market is charming. We had croissants every morning from the boulangerie 3 doors away and ate them on the balcony watching the morning flight of hot air balloons. In the evenings we sat on the balcony watching the evening flights of hot air balloons!We also went to watch the boules matches played on Wednesday evening.Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. There are many day visitors to La Roque which gives it a great buzz but there is a special time once the visitors have left that it becomes very peaceful and relaxing. We feel very privileged to have spent two weeks here. Thank you Joel.
