Summary
On an idyllic spot in the green hills of the PERIGORD is Les Gites Fleuris. Far from the hectic world, reminiscent of country life of the 18th century, with only the sounds of nature, with a stunning panoramic view over hills, fields, forests and small villages. You can enjoy lazing around on the sunny terrace, in the Pool or Jacuzzi. Let the peace and tranquility of the surroundings envelope you, and release you from the concerns of your busy life. All life’s necessities are an easy 1km walk down a country lane, so even though you feel “away from it all”, you are not! At 2km is the Magnificent Chateau de Hautefort and the medieval village!
La Wisteria house, a traditional stone Perigordian Farmhouse with fully equipped kitchen and living room with large stone fireplace. The 3 bedrooms, all upstairs, have the traditional feature of beamed ceilings and fantastic views of the valley from the windows. There are 2 balconies, one enjoys the morning sun, and the other is a great place to enjoy a glass of wine and watch the sunset over the valley. You have an outdoor dining terrace with barbeque, a wonderful place to relax over a home cooked meal!
Les Gites Fleuris is family friendly with pool, jacuzzi, acreage, children's play area with swings, climbing wall, raised fort, slide, and volley/badminton net. There is an indoor games room with games, toys, ping pong, etc...and a central laundry room with washer and dryer and free WiFi.
A wonderful Place to relax after site seeing! And HAUTEFORT is perfectly located to explore the Dordogne Region! The most amazing sites are within a 1hour radius!
Dordogne has something for everyone! 1001 Castles, CroMagnon Caves, Medieval Villages, Open air Markets, Roman ruins, etc.... This area has so much history that it is sure to capture the imaginations and interests of everyone in the family!
ahhh the Food! Parisians say “you’ll eat well in the Perigord”! This little corner of Southwest France is home to the black truffle, one of the most famous and expensive luxury foods of France. (Truffle Markets are open in Winter!) It is also the land of foie gras-- that typical French delicacy made from fattened goose or duck liver, along with other Canard specialty dishes. Our guests have often said that the best meal they ate in the Perigord was here, in Hautefort! The wine regions of Bergerac and Bordeaux are only 1-1.5 hr away!

Local Area
Hautefort is a great bicycling and walking area with rolling hillsides and lovely forest and valley views. Walk out your front door, and you can take an amazing countryside walk! Watch for birds of prey, deer, foxs, and many more animals. Take a walk over to the beautiful etang du coucou, 2.5km, a lovely wooded lake that you can swim or fish at.
Perigord is THE place to go if you love FOOD! especially truffles and foie gras. This little corner of Southwest France is home to the black truffle, one of the most famous and expensive luxury foods of France. (Truffle Markets are open in Winter!) It is also the land of foie gras-- that typical French delicacy made from fattened goose or duck liver, along with other Canard specialty dishes.Visit local farms (small production) and see people that live off the land. We have many good restaurants in the area. The wine regions of Bergerac and Bordeaux are only 1 hour to 1.5 hours away.
This area has so much history that it is sure to capture the imaginations and interests of everyone in the family! There are many famous tourist sites: grottes (caves), Troglodyte sites, Bastille towns, Castles, and old villages are within a 1-hour radius away (Lascaux is only 20 minutes).Valley's with castles where one can easily imagine bandits, knights in armor and the primitive life of the peasants. Many sporting activities in the area: basketball, tennis, soccer, volleyball, bocce, canoeing, fishing, etc.
Step back in time to the old France of farms and castles and caves and stone villages; and after touring, enjoy a wonderful bottle of Bergerac or Bordeaux Wine with some of France's famous cheeses!
