Things to do
Our house is located in a very preserved natural setting which guarantees you absolute calm, in the town of Buisson de Cadouin. At halfway between Sarlat-la-Canéda and Bergerac, we are in the heart of the Périgord Noir, the richest region of the Dordogne, where all the sites of prehistory, medieval castles, the most beautiful bastides, castles, famous abbeys and canoe activities are grouped together.
