Area/Local Activities

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. The Benedictine Abbey and Chapelle des Penitents are in the centre of the town, 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.

For those wishing to explore a little further afield, the world famous Lascaux caves can be reached in an hour, along with the many other attractions of the Lower Dordogne area. The Cahors and Bordeaux wine regions are also within easy reach. For those seeking more active pursuits, 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.
