Your Self Catering French Accommodation: La Dependance
Welcome to Riberac.
French Accommodation located in the tranquil hamlet of La Lande in the beautiful Perigord Vert region of the Dordogne, in the south west of France, La Dépendance is a charming, recently renovated self-catering cottage, the perfect place for that truly French experience.
La Lande overlooks the Lizonne river valley, amid open undulating countryside, where medieval villages crown the hill tops.
Your French Accommodation consists of 3 double bedrooms, 2 spacious living/dining areas, a well equipped kitchen, 2 bathrooms and a sunny roof top terrace.
The Perigord Vert is said to be the prettiest of the 4 regions of the Dordogne.
In this unspoilt region of France, locals will happily share with you their traditions and lifestyle. Their traditional architecture reflects the harmony that has long existed here between man and the natural environment.
The Perigordin heritage is an extraordinarily rich one. From Prehistoric cave art, Celtic strongholds and Roman ruins; to the Feudal fortresses, Romanesque churches and Medieval abbeys, and its great Renaissance chateaux. The Dordogne is home to over 1000 chateaux. Some of the oldest and finest are said to be found in the Perigord Vert.
Follow the byways of poets, writers and philosophers and enjoy the
remarkable natural beauty that inspired them.
In the noble courts of the Troubadour, wander the birthplace of chivalry
and courtly love, integral to the court of Eleanor of Aquitaine and
the 12th century Golden Age of western civilization that flourished
here in the south west.
Charlemagne passed this way in the 8th century bearing relics and founding abbeys. Richard the Lionheart and the Black Prince made their mark militarily. Local lords flocked to the crusades for redemption and glory, while the One Hundred Years war and the Wars of Religion shaped both the local character and the future of France. Resistance fighters were particularly active here during the Second World War.
The region is a particular delight for the lover of good food and wine. From Michelin rated restaurants in the towns, to the many bar restaurants of the villages that create wonderful and surprisingly inexpensive menus. The cuisine of the Perigord is famous for its truffles and foie gras, for its rich blending of game and woodland fare. This is a cuisine of peasant origin elevated to the table of kings.
Enjoy the great wines of the Medoc and St Emilion. Or partake of the good local vintages of Bergerac. Unique to neighbouring Charente are the Pineau and Cognac.
The weekly village markets, so popular with the visitor, date back centuries, their charters granted by order of kings or their intendants, where local supply and demand was met within walking distance. These markets remain an important and popular aspect of local life, enjoyed equally as a social occasion. As are the annual commune fetes, brocantes and festivals that feature good food and a convivial atmosphere.
Outdoor Recreational opportunities abound in the local area.
