GITE ACCOMMODATION

The local restaurants are excellent and reasonably priced. Eating out is a joy and can be a voyage of discovery in some of the small restaurants where the 'menu du jour' is the lunchtime choice.

The area is famed for its foie gras, duck, truffles and walnut groves.

Although in a very rural situation it's not far to the local market town and principal tourist destinations.
