The Dordogne
The department of the Dordogne is in the Aquitaine region of south-west France (Le Manoir is approximately 60 miles inland from Bordeaux in an easterly direction). The Dordogne is famous for its wines such as Pecharment and Monbazillac; its food, including duck, foie gras and truffles. Exciting visits include the prehistoric caves at Lascaux and, of course, the Dordogne valley itself with its spectacular scenery and many dramatic and beautiful chateaux. The Dordogne area is renowned for its long hot summers, the warm and pleasant weather usually extending from April to late October.

(Enter destination St Marcel du Perigord).Speed Ferries I Now our preferred carrier. Good prices throughout the year, 55 Minutes crossing, if a rather scruffy SuperCat.
Ferries From Rosyth! - Many of our guests are from Scotland: Our first guest, Fiona Jackson, has arrived using this ferry. She tells me that she is very impressed with this new ship & comfortable journey!
When you arrive, you will find plenty of vineyards to try wine at. However for price & a good selection I recommend L'Clerc supermarket
AND Julien-de-Savignac for a greater choice, also at good prices. They have a shop at Le Bugue.
