Went last year - going again this year and probably the next! It's a wonderful place for all the family - ours is 12 strong and ranges from70 through to 2!! and there is something for everyone. The house, the pool, the pavilion, the barn - what more do you need. The patisserie is 10 minutes away and nothing is better than fresh croissants, french bread and cheese for brekafast and lunch. The barbeque is ample for cooking up a storm and the local sights, amenities and facilities are myriad. Try canoeing, swinging through the tree-tops, delightfully renovated historical chateaux and of course the legend of Josephine Baker. So in short highly recommended.Guest rating:
My family and I love Le Placial. We have had holidays there for the past three years and look forward to next year's visit. There is plenty of room for everyone both indoors and out. The house is secluded, peaceful, with just the sound of birds and the rustle of trees in a breeze. We love spending days by the pool and evenings looking out across the meadow with a glass of wine, waiting to hear the nightjar. The area has plenty to offer with interesting towns and villages, historic sites and caves, lakes, rivers for canoeing and lovely walks. The gardens and land around the house are perfect for badminton, jogging, mushroom hunting and rambling. The village of Rouffignac has everything you might need and there are some great evenings to be had tasting local farmers' produce. We recommend the Petit Leon restaurant in St Léon sur Vezere for excellent food and a great setting.
