How to get to La Croix du Rapt, Champagne-Fontaine
The house is well placed for visits within Northern Dordogne, as it is a short drive from the D708 which is the main route between Angouleme and Riberac.
Nearest airports for flights from UK are Limoges, Bergerac, Poitiers, Bordeaux or Brive la Galliard (from London, Edinburgh, Liverpool, Southampton and Leeds/Bradford), but a good range of local airports connect to a number of cities in the UK.
Nearest train station is Angouleme, which is on the main TGV route from Paris and Lille for SW France (Bordeaux and Toulouse).
The rural location would mean that car hire would be essential to explore the local area.

Just returned from a 9 day break at this lovely property in a fantastic rural setting. The sun was shining everyday so we had breakfast, lunch and supper al fresco either at the property or at one of the many restaurants a short drive away. The owner is more than happy to give recommendations as to where in the area to go as there are many interesting places to visit as well as eat. On our arrival we lacked some provisions as the supermarket was closed and Dorothy was more than happy to provide us with some basics, free of charge I may add, which was very kind of her. The rooms are of great proportions, all have en-suite facilities and spectacular views out over the surrounding farm land. Some of the sunsets we witnessed were wonderful and the ability to stargaze is amazing. The guest sitting room has UK TV and there is WiFi available at no extra charge. The village bar, short walking distance away, is an old world gem and has become a regular feature of our visits. We have visited this property on a number of occasions and will return again, of that I am sure.Guest rating:
Just returned from yet another great break in Champagne et Fontaine staying at the lovely La Crox du Rapt. The rooms are all well appointed with lots of space but most of all fantastic views from every one! The pool is superb and a real bonus to come back to after a trip to one of the many great places to visit nearby (the owner has a fantastic knowledge of where is best to go if you are visiting for the first time). The local bar is also a must visit and again Dorothy will be happy to point you on the right direction. The fields round the house were planted with Sunflower but the flower head had not come out so those visitong later in the summer will have them to look out on from every bedroom.
All in all a real home from home and well worth a visit. I am looking forward to my next visit already!!Guest rating:
Peaceful, beautiful Farmhouse with swimming pool surrounded by sunflower fields, run by the most amazing Lady who made my Family feel so welcome . All the rooms are huge with own bathrooms ,
I would highly recommend this property and I will definitely be going back.Guest rating:
Stayed here with my family for a week and felt like a second home. Stunning tranquil location but close enough to all types of activities and sightseeing. Beautifully renovated farmhouse with large rooms and separate bathrooms. We had a 1 year old with us and had everything we could need...
Dorothy the owner was a fantastic host and made us all feel at home.... Also fantastic knowledge of the local areas to help you explore real France...
All in all a fantastic holiday and would stay here anytime...Guest rating:
We have just returned from a fantastic visit to the Dordogne. We stayed at La Croix du Rapt and could not fault it. The property is a beautifully renovated traditional farm house, which has very generously proportioned rooms with well equipped en suite shower rooms. Dorothy, the hostess, went out of her way to make our stay a memorable one, providing maps and tour guides for the surrounding area along with her own suggestions of interesting places to visit, nothing was too much trouble. The garden is large giving ample space for a lovely big swimming pool which is surrounded by a terrace which has a number of sun beds that can all be used at no extra charge. The property is also a short walk from the village bar if you are not wanting to venture further afield but if you do there are a number of very good restaurants, most of which Dorothy has visited and can give her views on. All in all a superb B& B which could only be discribed as fantastic value for money. This was our third visit this year and I am already planning our next one. A must to visit if you are in the area.
