Photos and Description of the Duras vacation farmhouse rental Two bedroom ground floor gite sleeps two adults/two children

On the site of the 17thC farmhouse 'Mirathon' the outbuildings have been carefully restored to form four individual gites.  Complete with qa sparkling pool Gascogne is the smallest with accommodation for a couple and two children (bunk beds) and has  thick stone walls ensuring cool days in the summer and warm in the winter.Often called the French Tuscany this tranquil area cannot fail to attract people of all tastes with Bergerac to the north and Bordeaux to the west.  the property is nestling in undulating in the quiet countryside but surrounded by activities suitable for everyone.You can fill your days visiting small 13thC bastide towns.  kayak along the Dordogne, horse riding, cycling, play tennis, play boules, discover fantastic restaurants - whatever.  However if you simply want to relax in beautiful surroundings amid an abundance of riotous flowers taking the occasional dip in the stunning 11 x 5 Roman pol and lying in the sun with a glass of wine: the choice is yours.

The attractions of the regioan are well known - the rivers, the Chateaux, the scenery, the ancient towns and villages.  You are ideally placed to enjoy the best of this wonderful area with many local day and evening markets, fabulous restaurants catering for all tastes - and child friendly and of course wine tasting as Duras is very close to the appelations of Bordeaux, Graves, St. Emilion and not to be missed are the amazing sweet wines of Monbazillac and Sauternes.Don't forget the Monsegur Jazz Festival - 24 hours swing first weekend in July - is only 4kms from us. Golf enthusiasts will love the renowned Chateau de Vigiers course (30 mins) and other courses nearby.  If they wish to venture away from 'home' children can happily spend a day at the nearby Aqua Park or should the unthinkable hapen, rain, an undercover play park or go bowling.Not to be missed out of any itinerary is Bergerac with its fine old buildings and trips along the Dordogne.
