The village of Curemonte dates back to the 11th century and has been honoured with the title of 'L'un des plus beaux villages de France'. Despite its numerous attractions (3 Chateaux, 3 churches and a market hall), it remains very much a working village, with a boulangerie, post office, bar/tabac and three restaurants. There is also a local farmers market once a week in the summer months. Beaulieu sur Dordogne, just 10 minutes from Curemonte and, as its name suggests, situated on the Dordogne River, is a small market town with many shops, several bars and restaurants and a twice-weekly market. Canoes can be hired at the river, as well as boat trips on the traditional 'Gabares'.
A mere 15 minutes drive takes you to villages, chateaux, caves and of course the Dordogne River. Horse riding can be arranged locally, canoeing down the Dordogne River, tennis, bicycles are easily hired and we can also arrange hot-air ballooning trips. For many, however, the main attraction of the region are the rolling hills, peace and quiet of our immediate surroundings, as well as the local gastronomic specialities.
