The Pigeonnier is situated on the edge of the small hamlet of Douzains which is 7 kms from the Bastide town of Castillonnes, and 23 kms from Bergerac and its airport ( daily flights from many UK airports with Ryanair and Flybe). The property is surrounded by the beautiful open rolling countryside of the Aquitaine and is just 8kms from the Dordogne border; it is also only a half hour drive from several good golf courses, including the very attractive St. Vigier golf course outside St. Foy le Grand.
There are a wealth of things to see and do including visiting romantic castles perched on precipitous cliff faces, gorgeous Chateaux, the formal gardens at Marqueyssac, hundreds of vineyards, the wonderful local markets set in unspoilt medieval villages like Villereal, Monflanquin or Belvès and Monpazier, or, for the more energetic, karting, Aquaparks, surfing and bodyboarding on the Atlantic coast, cycling and canoeing on the Dordogne and Vezére rivers
