A holiday cottage in the Dordogne
Les Vignasses is a holiday cottage (or "gîte") in the peaceful countryside of the Périgord Vert area of the Dordogne, on the edge of the small village of Saint-Julien-de-Bourdeilles. St Julien is set in the hills above the Dronne valley in the north of the Dordogne department, about 18 miles north of Périgueux. The Dordogne is part of the Nouvelle Aquitaine region of south-west France.
St Julien, with a population of around 100, is 3 miles from Bourdeilles and 5 miles from Brantôme. Brantôme is a delightful small town set on an island in the river Dronne and because of its rivers and bridges is sometimes called "The Venice of the Périgord". Bourdeilles also figures prominently in guide books and has a very fine medieval / renaissance château. |
