In between Cenac and La Rocque Gageac, in a geographical triangle between Sarlat, Souillac and Gourdon, you are within minutes of restaurants, cafes, bars, 'tout les commerces' supermarket, banks, pharmacies, doctors, dentist and two excellent hospitals.
The former Perigord capital of Sarlat is only 9 km from Les Campagnes with its beautiful internationally renowned medieval centre. Sarlat is blessed with a wonderful market on Saturday mornings, which trails from the market place along twisting, honey-coloured streets. Here you can buy anything from foie grass to lace, fresh fish to local arts and crafts.
Cenac is the local village, about 1 km away, and contains all necessary shops, including a big supermarket, bars/cafés restaurants, a bank, pharmacy, post office etc.
The Perigord and Quercy are rural France at its best and this house gives you an ideal base from which to discover the area. A wealth of prehistoric, historic and scenic interests allow you to enjoy a multi-interest holiday, while at the same time the tranquil, restful surroundings also makes it ideal, should you wish a truly relaxing holiday. With 'Les Campagnes' being so central to this beautiful region no tourist site of repute is far away.
In fact only 3 kms away, and constantly voted France's most picturesque village is La Rogue Gageac clinging to the cliffs that edge the River Dordogne. The fortified bastide town of Domme can be seen from the garden, the beautiful village of Beynac, Vitrac and the magnificent St. Cyprien are all close by.
A little further a field can be found Les Eyzies, Montpazier and Rocamadour. The list is endless and is there for you to discover.
Numerous world famous cave systems are to be found in the locality and Chateaux are more numerous than in the Loire.
The sightseeing is inexhaustible, the leisure activities numerous. Lastly, and some would say most importantly, the Dordogne is known as the 'Kitchen of France'. Gastronomy is a way of life, and we are only too happy to pass on the restaurants we've discovered over the years that we have lived here. You will not be disappointed. Should you have any further enquiries please do not hesitate to contact us; we look forward to hearing from you. Few visitors to the Dordogne, if any, have failed to be enchanted by the area; in fact many people come back year upon year.
Canoeing, Horse riding, Golf, Swimming, Fishing, Tennis, Sightseeing
With the river in your back garden, canoeing and fishing are ideal pastimes. Canoeing down the river Dordogne is a spectacular experience. Hire a canoe from any one of the many points signposted along the river, drift gently downstream taking in a beach - picnic on the way and be collected from your destination by mini-bus, which returns you to your starting point.
Approximately 10 minutes away at Vitrac can be found a nine-hole golf course, open to the public. A second 18 holes golf coursed is located at Siorac (approx 20 kms).
A public tennis court can be hired in Cenac.

This is a well positioned, fantastically equipped and welcoming home. The pool is warm and inviting and if you don’t want to drive anymore, Cenac is within walking distance. If you need it, the owners have provided it and right in the heart of the Dordogne's best attractions. We loved it and hopefully will return one day. Even the dog didn’t want to leave having spent most of the week in the river. Great place.
Guest rating:
Great location by the river. Lovely house.

The pictures online don't fully illustrated the qualities of this property. First of all, the house is much bigger than it seems; there are 5 double bedrooms and three full baths. It's not only functional and pleasant but also warmly decorated.
We spent 8 days there in the worst heat France has known in a long time, much talked about internationally, yet we were fine in the house. The two upper bedrooms have individual AC units. The lower level bedrooms were kept cool by their insulation, the ceiling fans and cross ventilation.
We loved the pool but even more the river which, at that point has a huge area of flat rocks about foot under the water, an ideal place to lie down and contemplate the scenery while being cooled and massaged by the water. We also walked up to the bridge and swam down.
There is a path along the river, a bit hard to notice, that goes up toward the bridge and also down all the way to La Roque Gageac.
We were also lucky to be there when there was still some lingering linden flower and wisteria fragrance, which gave the garden an even more idyllic atmosphere. And at night it made swimming under the star a magical experience.
When we looked at the location online we were a bit concerned by the proximity of a campground, imagining rowdy crowds but, at least during our stay, it had only super well equipped RV vehicles, and only middle aged couples.
Sarlat is very close and definitely worth visiting but awfully touristy so we went through it quickly and preferred to eat elsewhere; he best was the Cantine at Daglan, about 20 min drive south, which we discovered thanks to the many brochures provided in the house. We also found walking in Domme more enjoyable.
Of course there were also some minor negatives, for instance the condensation of the humidity on the cold lower level floor, but that was only during the 2 hottest days. It would also help to have a better floor squeegee for the lower bathroom.
Guest rating:
The house and the location were perfect. The owner is lovely and helped us several times with minor issues. The Pool is huge and warm. The house stayed quite cool despite temperatures of 37 degrees some days. The Aircon in the upper bedrooms was appreciated. The kitchen is really well stocked with everything you could think of for a self catering holiday. I would definitely stay in this house again but perhaps out of main season as although the house remained very peaceful the area was extremely busy in August.
Guest rating:
Such a lovely spacious house fastastically placed right on the river. Very well equipped for all you might like to do whether cooking, swimming (pool or river) and table tennis. We had a super holiday here with kids, Domme has good restsurants and Cenac nearby a supermarket and Boulangerie for your breakfasts.
Guest rating:
We decided to return to the Dordogne after 30 years looked for a well located house with good facilities. We were not disappointed with our two weeks at Les Compagnes. The house is close to Domme, La Rocque Gageac and Sarlat and only a walk across the bridge to Cenac. The house is beautiful, clean and well equipped with a lovely covered terrace overlooking the garden. There is a good sized, heated pool and wonderful river frontage. We could not have asked for more. The owner and housekeeper were attentive and very helpful. Thoroughly recommended.
