ひまわりとブドウ畑の中に大きなプールがあるキャラバントな農家

Nick spent several summers during his teenage years helping to restore a farmhouse not far from Le Rusthe. When he introduced Sara to the area a few years later, she agreed that it was a great area to start looking for a project ! 25 years later, Le Rusthe has been transformed in to a comfortable but rustic holiday home, with the character of the house preserved, but with modern comforts and necessities added.

Le Rusthe is close to the busy towns of Eymet, Duras and Miramont, but far enough away from all of them to offer, peace and privacy.

We enjoy walks and bike rides from Le Rusthe , perhaps up to Soumensac for the wonderful summer Sunday lunches, or to the enormous Lac de L' Escarou, a couple of km's to the east.

The golf and country club at Chateau des Vigiers is about a 20 minute drive, and there are weekly markets in Eymet and Duras that are fun to visit.

The airport at Bergerac is only 30km, and the town itself, perched on the edge of the Dordogne river, is well worth a trip, as are the canoe stations a little further east - the trip through the steep gorges at Beynac and Castelnaud being a particular family favourite.

We always make a trip to the fabulous beaches on the Atlantic coast at Cap Ferret, and to climb the huge dune at Arcachon, followed by oysters on the edge of the 'bassin' !
