Le Figuier - Self-catering house in Dordogne
La Machardie Haute, 24160 Sainte-Trie, Dordogne
Aquitaine,
Francia
This 17th-century barn is set opposite Andrew and Sue's house but doesn't feel overlooked. It's a house for all seasons, with a huge fireplace in the living room (wood provided) and a separate TV room with plenty of DVDs, books and games, and some local guidebooks too – plus full fibre WiFi for those who need to work.
On arrival find a welcome hamper including local produce, tea, coffee and wine to get you settled in. You're encouraged to make full use of the garden, where there are lots of seating areas including a covered dining terrace next to the pool with a smart Weber barbecue.
Explore the Corrèze region, which is much quieter and less well known but none-the-less gorgeous. Head to the Étang de Coucou (a 10-minute drive) for a lake with a beach, inflatables for children, a bar and a restaurant where food is cooked on a plancha.

Local points of interest from Voila Villas:
Punti d'interesse locali da
Voila Villas:
- At Le Figuier there are plenty of activities including the heated pool, table tennis, badminton, boules and croquet. There are several walks directly from the house and for the more adventurous there are more challenging river gorge walks.
- All the local specialities can be found at Brive and Perigeaux markets while the many night markets in the area give you the chance to sample them in a party atmosphere. One of these is at nearby Tourtoirac where you can also visit their famous caves.
- A visit to the Chateau at Hautefort (10 mins' drive) is a must. Either a visit during the day or in the evening in summer should be concluded with a meal at our favourite local restaurant in a small square under the walls of the Chateau.
- Despite being at the northern tip of the Dordogne the area's main attractions are all easily accessible including Sarlat, Montignac (Lascaux caves), Les Eyzies, Rocamadour and the many Chateaux and gardens along the river Dordogne.
- There are many places to canoe and kayak nearby plus many parks and attractions for adults and children alike. As well as the inflatables on the local lake at Hautefort our children particularly enjoyed the Velorail, cycling on a disused railway track.
- If you have an interest in wine Andrew will happily give you a tour of the small vineyard and explain the methods used to make the local country wine. This often concludes with a wine tasting in his cellar where local wine can also be purchased.
