This was an excellent location from which to explore the Dordogne Valley. This gite is across the road from a small boat ramp on the Dordogne, and about a 10 minute drive from St Emilion. We only spent two nights- not enough time to explore everything the area had to offer. We enjoyed the Bordeaux wines, and the vineyards stretched in all directions. The free bicycle use was a nice perk.
We enjoyed a few meals outside in the covered patio, and a few at restaurants in St Emilion. Chai Pascal was our favorite- excellent food and reasonably priced.
Roland Nicouleau, our host, was very friendly and accommodating. We speak very little French, and he speaks no English, but he was very patient with us and communication was not a problem.
We would definitely recommend this gite to friends and would stay here if we return to the area.
