Dordogne, Lot, Limousin, Midi Pyrenees

The Dordogne we all know and love, almost a second home now to British people with property in France. Perigueux, wild boar, truffles, pate de foie gras, wine, and restaurants to make any hope of a slimmer figure laughable. Interestingly enough this area seems to have had it’s day, and buyers are now looking in the stretch to the south of the Dordogne down to the Pyrenees where properties are cheaper.

There are some great bargains to be had, and the area is ideal for families. Packed full of historical interest and fine architecture, there is plenty to do in the way of sailing, walking, cycling, and sightseeing. Even the Pyrenees are within reasonable reach if you are tempted to go skiing. The only thing missing from this region is the sea, but there are plenty of lakes and rivers nearby where you can cool off.

The region can be reached from either Angouleme or Bordeaux to the North West, or Toulouse to the South. If you are driving then allow about 8 to 10 hours from Calais.

Similar to the Western Coast area this part of France tends to be rural, small sleepy villages where you can see the men – and the occasional woman – playing boules in the evening sun. We at AMR4France have a wide range of properties to offer you, so do get in touch and let us know your requirements so we can keep a watchful eye out for any bargains coming to the market.
