La Prairie: Country House Near Sarlat in the Périgord Noir

This stone house, part of a restored historic farmhouse, is located on a hill in a quiet, lush hamlet 3 km from St. Geniès—a typical village with slate-roofed houses—and from Sarlat, in the heart of the Périgord Noir.

Its east- and south-facing orientation offers a magnificent panoramic view of the valley.

Ideally situated for exploring the treasures of the Périgord (traditional villages, castles, caves, troglodyte sites, remarkable gardens, and fine dining), the property is located halfway between the Vézère Valley and the Dordogne Valley, Sarlat (10 km), Montignac-Lascaux IV (10 km), Les Eyzies (10 km), and its many castles and notable sites.

To recharge your batteries and explore the region in a different way, numerous marked trails will allow you to discover the area; the Dordogne and the Vézère, two magnificent rivers, are perfect for canoeing and river swimming.

The many farmers’ markets offer the chance to sample regional specialities (walnuts, chestnuts, truffles, duck, goose, and porcini mushrooms) in a festive and friendly atmosphere.
