Just around the Corner

From Villa Quieta, you can walk straight into the peace of the countryside.
You’re just steps away from:

• The River Dordogne, perfect for a paddle or picnic
• The Sarlat–Souillac cycle path, ideal for morning walks or family bike rides
• Carsac-Aillac, our local village (1.2 km), with a bakery, butcher, Sunday market, and cafés

Whether you're picking up pastries or strolling by the river, everyday essentials are part of the charm.

The best of the Dodogne Nearby

Within 15–20 minutes by car, you can explore:

• Sarlat-la-Canéda – cobbled streets, markets, and golden stone
• Domme – a bastide village with sweeping valley views
• Castelnaud & Beynac – rival medieval castles perched above the river
• Les Milandes – the château of Josephine Baker, with gardens and bird shows

This is a land of legends, markets, and timeless beauty.

Day trip wonders

For guests staying longer, there's more to discover a little further afield:

• Rocamadour – a dramatic clifftop pilgrimage village
• Lascaux IV & Les Eyzies – explore Europe’s prehistoric art and cave history
• Gouffre de Padirac – a magical underground river cave
• Bergerac & Cahors – wine tasting with stunning drives

You’ll also find family-friendly parks, river beaches, gardens, and kayaking routes.

Slow down, explore at your own pace, and let the Dordogne surprise you.

You’ll never see it all in one trip,
but that’s the beauty of it.
