Description

La Gilardie is set in a small hamlet, 3 km from St Aulaye, in the
department of the Dordogne. The cottage is part of an old perigordian
farmhouse, renovated to a very high standard. The owners live in the
other part of the house and are there to welcome any holiday makers
who wish to spend some time at La Gilardie.
The cottage has a spacious, beamed living room, comfortably furnished
with 3-piece suit, coffee table, dining table and chairs. There is a
TV (french), VCR and radio/CD/Tape hi-fi that fits nicely on a
built-in cupboard used for storing the cushions for the garden furniture.
The kichenette has a gas cooker with hood, refrigerator (with small
freezer), microwave oven, coffee machine, iron and board, toaster and
electric kettle.
There are 2 bedrooms, one with king-sized bed (width 1.80 m), the
other has 2 singles and a comfortable put-you-up for a fifth person.
The bathroom has a shower, hand basin and WC, and, because there is
plenty of room, a washing machine.
The cottage has a private terrace with table and chairs, swing and
electrically operated sunroof. A gas or charcoal BBQ is stored in a
shed. There is a small private garden and the large, 1 acre garden is
shared with the owners, and provides plenty of shade for a siesta or
space for your children ti kick a ball around.

Amenities

You find everything you might need in St. Aulaye: bars, restaurants,
bakers, dentist, doctors, bank and a small supermarket.

Attractions

This part of France is very beautiful, perfect for cycling (bikes can
be hired), walking or just enjoying the sights and sounds of a fairly
unspoiled country side. You could watch the buzzards circling the sky
or the hen harriers hunting across the fields, and if you are very
lucky you might see some deer at the edge of the woods or come across
a wild boar.
For swimming there is the river beach in St. Aulaye ( the river Dronne
runs through the little town), the swimming pools in Ribérac or the
lovely lake at La Jemaye. This lake was created by monks in the middle
ages and stocked with fish. Now it is perfect for swimming and
enjoying a day out with its restaurants, water sport opportunities and
great atmosphere.
Horse riding and tennis are available in St. Aulaye and a golf course
is a 5-minute ride away.
We are surrounded by medieval villages with their old stone houses,
narrow lanes and beautifully preserved roman churches, well worth
exploring.
An hour's drive (or less!) could take you to the busy market towns of
Périgueux, Angoulême or Ribérac, where you could visit the biggest
market in the Dordogne every Friday morning.
Nearby, 8 km, is Aubeterre, one of the most beautiful villages in
France with the largest monolithic church in Europe.
