Property Details

Jon and Sue, the English owners of Le Jardin des Amis, would like to welcome you to the best part of the beautiful Dordogne. A tranquil and peaceful part of France, no matter what's going on elsewhere! Eucalyptus is one of five gites (French holiday homes) of varying size. It is a lovely one-bedroom stone property sympathetically renovated to provide comfort and modern living together with the coziness of traditional features including internal exposed oak beams and sandstone walls.

Stone steps lead from the terrace to the fully-fitted kitchen and comfortable living area in Eucalyptus. Stairs lead up to the en-suite double bedroom. We live on site and are on hand to help make your stay a comfortable and hassle-free French experience. We can advise on any aspect of your holiday and are happy to help with the important little things, such as making restaurant reservations, etc.

Our location in the Dordogne is exceptional, five minutes from Les Eyzies, the pre-historic capital of Europe and 15 minutes from Sarlat. Approximately 90% of the major attractions in the area are within a 20-minute drive, so no big expedition preparations every day. At the same time you have the benefit of the peace and tranquility of the French countryside on your doorstep. A two-minute stroll takes you to the small, quaint medieval village of Meyrals with its award-winning boulangerie, bar and restaurants.

The local terrain comprises the hills and valleys of the Dordogne and Vezere rivers and is littered with beautiful medieval villages and chateaux. Cycling, walking and horse-riding for all skill levels is available.

Cave art abounds. We are surrounded by wonderful examples of paintings, etchings and sculptures. Le Eyzies is now home to the best pre-history museum in Europe attracting historians, archeologists, etc. from all over the world.

Other interests include a number of renowned artists and galleries in the village and surrounding area. Many of the artists speak English and are delighted to welcome you to browse around their studios. Canoeing, golf, adventure parks are among the many other activities available. Take a day and visit the vineyards of Bergerac and Bordeaux. Do not miss the wonderful town of St. Emilion.

After a hard day's holidaying, why not stop by the pool bar for a well-earned aperitif before dinner? Have a chat with us and the other guests. Dinner choices are a delight-- any one of the numerous great restaurants in the area, a barbecue by the pool bar or on your terrace, fresh produce bought from the excellent markets and home-cooked by yourself, or have a home-cooked meal prepared for you and left in your gite for your arrival on any given evening. The food and wines of the region are superb, with delights such as truffles, duck confit, foie gras, Bordeaux and Bergerac wines as standard fare in the restaurants and supermarkets at excellent prices.

Local airports include Bergerac, Bordeaux, Toulouse, Limoges, all within a two-hour drive. Flights to these airports from London and Paris are available, amongst other major cities. We are happy to help with advice on your travel plans.

We look forward to meeting you and we are very happy to answer any questions you may have regarding your next holiday in this area. Please see our website for full information on all of our properties and internal photos
