Golf & Spa

There are a few golf courses nearby but the best by far is Chateau de Vigiers, 20 min away. With its beautiful setting and superb grounds, one can celebrate a good game of golf in either in the brasserie or in the smarter Michelin Star restaurant. The Spa is equally lovely where one can relax and enjoy numerous beauty treatments.

Canoeing

Canoeing is one of our most loved excursions of the Summer. One can canoe down the Dordogne nearby from Eymet. However, in order to enjoy more of the Dordogne countryside the village of Limeuil provides that and has been our favourite spot for years. One can canoe down the Dordogne or the Vezere river. The lovely owners of the business drive us as far as we want and one canoes down the river and stop for a picnic and eventually ending up in Limeuil again to pick up the car.
