Relax and unwind in the heart of Dordogne countryside If you are looking to escape a busy commute, to swap sirens for bird song and to enjoy the very best of French food and drink, then this is the place for you. La Petite Maison is located in a remote part of the Dordogne countryside. Set among rolling hills and sunflower fields, there’s countryside as far as the eye can see. Look up and marvel at the vastness of the sky – we recommend doing this at night when shooting stars and satellites dance across the darkness, accompanied by millions of stars. On clear nights, you can even see the milky way. Staying here is an opportunity to get away from the hustle and bustle. Explore the nearby villages, chateaux and farmers markets; savour the best of the local wine, cognac and cheese producers; or simply relax with a book by the river.

Our part of the Dordogne is very peaceful and quiet so is perfect for relaxing breaks. We are surrounded by agricultural land, and for as far as the eye can see there are fields of sunflowers and maize, and rolling hills. This attracts a lot of wildlife, including deer, boar, birds of prey and some very beautiful butterflies and dragonflies. There is no shortage of things to do nearby, with chateaux, ancient monuments, caves, beautiful villages, farmers markets, art galleries and museums all within easy travelling distance. We provide guests with a comprehensive list of attractions.
