Two 4-bedroom restored charming Dordogne barns for rentThese two lovely adjoining self-catering holiday homes offered by UK owners are located in a converted barn in the heart of one of the most beautiful and unspoilt parts of southwest France - The Dordogne / Lot borders - making them the ideal base for a sightseeing holiday in the area. Situated in a small hamlet, not far from the delightful villages of St Julien de Lampon, Masclat and Milhac and close to one of the most beautiful rivers in France, La Dordogne, the extremely charming barn has been converted to a very high standard into these two holiday homes. The decoration in fresh, pretty colours makes a most inviting holiday home full of light and sunshine.

In the grounds of the property guests will be able to enjoy the sunny terrace decking for sunbathing and eating and drinking al fresco.

The Dordogne region also formed the historic frontier between France and England during the Hundred Years War and this rich heritage offers a renowned variety of sights for you to discover on your sightseeing break in France. The Perigord boasts numerous castles, churches and medieval bastides towns as well as beautiful stone villages and prehistoric caves, all set in some of France's loveliest countryside.

Food and wine are at the heart of French culture and when in the Dordogne the best way to experience this is through colourful French markets and local restaurants. The Perigord is renowned for its Confit de canard (duck), its world-famous foie gras, truffles, goat's cheese and walnuts served in salads or in the delicious Gâteau aux Noix.
