The beautiful bastide town of Beaumont-du-Périgord with its regular markets is about 5 minutes drive away and offers a complete infrastructure with several bakeries, butcher, medical care, restaurants etc.
Beaumont is situated in the heart of the Périgord. From here you can easily reach all the highlights of the Périgord, whether one of the many caves, the monasteries and churches of the French part of the Way of St. James (UNESCO World Heritage) or the many castles as witnesses of eventful times. The villa's central location makes it ideal for excursions from Rocamadour in the east to the Atlantic and Bordeaux in the west.
The villa DUXCAAR is situated in a secluded location about 1km west of the "Chateau de Bannes", one of the most impressive chateaux in the Périgord. You can reach the house via Bergerac or Bordeaux airports or by TGV to Bordeaux. A rental car is required for the final journey. Our caretaker couple Brian or Arlene or our key safe allow access to the house.
