Jaonnet, where good food, good wine and a warm welcome
await you in our charmingly restored farmhouse, full of
character, set in beautiful countryside between the
medieval towns of Sarlat, Domme and Gourdon. About our region Across the river Dordogne two medieval fortresses glare at each other, rising above two miniscule villages. One of them, Château Beynac, was a bastion of the French throughout the Hundred Years' War. The other, Château de Castelnaud, was the stronghold of the English. Both châteaux can be visited today, visible legacies of the strife-torn history of the Périgord, where the past is ever present. The present département of the Dordogne was created out of the former Périgord during the administrative changes wrought by the French Revolution. Its inhabitants still doggedly use the old name for their region, as indeed do most of the foreign visitors and residents. Only the British, who settled here in substantial numbers, refer to it constantly as the Dordogne. As you can well imagine there are
numerous places of In the thirteenth century rival English and French monarchs commissioned their seneschals to build a series of spectacularly fortified new foundations to defend their claims to this part of France. Known as bastides, many have survived intact and today number among the finest villages of France. Domme (10km), is a captivating bastide town standing on a towering hill overlooking the peaceful Dordogne river. Visit picturesque Rocamadour, perched on a cliff face high on the Causse, delve into prehistoric times in the famous Lascaux caves or take a boat trip underground in the Gouffre de Padirac, all within easy reach. A magnificent leisure lake with sandy beach is within 3 minutes drive by car and provides safe bathing for all the family. This is also ideal countryside for cycling, walking and taking leisurely picnics along the banks of the river, which lends its name to this special corner of France. Bikes are available for hire in Grolejac. Golf, tennis, fishing and horse riding are all within easy reach. The Périgord offers a holiday
experience to enjoy and remember! Le Jaonnet is ideally situated
