Countryside walk with magnificent panoramic city views! You know, I’ve been pestering Jeff for weeks now to accompany me on a particular walk that I’ve been itching to explore. The walk is just outside the City of Perigueux. Driving into the city along the D939 at the junction with the D3 (Route d’Agonac) there’s a [...]
A short bright sunny winter walk that expectantly turned into a 20km trek to Champcevinel village! There are dozens of mapped and waymarked walks around La Treille and we’ve covered quite a number of them over the last few years; many, I’ve documented on this blog (you’ll find them archived under the ‘Walking‘ tab under [...]
Reciprocal links to gite website directories: I get asked quite frequently if we would mind adding these links to our website and whilst I have no problem doing so I always ponder which page to put them on? I advertise on many sites, both ‘paid-for’ and ‘free’ and to put a link to each and [...]
Promenade around Lac La Jemaye We’re making the most of this beautiful Autumnal weather this weekend and yesterday (Saturday 15th October) went for a leisurely walk around the lake at La Jemaye. The temperature peaked at around 27ºC in the afternoon which caught me out as I’d put a jumper on… I felt a little [...]
Marché de nuit, Perigueux Centre Ville, Wednesday 10 August 2011 Wednesday 10 August 2011 – It’s a beautiful ‘hot August night’ and we head in to Perigueux for the infamous ‘Juillet et Aout Marché de Nuit’. I say “infamous” because for the last 2 weeks it’s been cancelled due to appalling weather here. In fact [...]
Day trip in the Dordogne – Today it’s lovely Montignac! It’s funny but when choosing which village or town to visit we obviously try to pick one we haven’t been to before. Montignac, like many of these ‘hidden-gems’ we discover on arrival, is in-fact somewhere we have been before, albeit, if only passing through. It’s [...]
New marketing push for French Tourism with http//int.rendezvousenfrance.com/en I received an email this morning from the on-line version of the Connexion Newspaper (ex-pat journal) with a link to an interesting article that struck a chord with me. From my previous posts you’ve probably realised that I’ve been having a bit of a battle with our [...]
Aubeterre is listed as one of ‘The Most Beautiful Villages in France‘. Probably the main attraction of Aubeterre is the monolithic and subterranean church of St Jean – carved out of the white rock with excavations going back to the fifth century, the inside is enormous with a ceiling height reaching up to 20 meters [...]
Trying to get registered with our ‘local Syndicate d’initiative’ I’ve put off doing this for too long now and so last year (June 2010) I resolved to ‘get with the programme’ and get La Treille Gites on the French Tourism radar. I started the ball rolling by getting our gites into the local tourist brochure [...]
