Local Information
La Peyriere is located in the Lot-et-Garonne area near its border with the Dordogne area in the south west of France.
There are two nearby villages for day-to-day shopping each with a butcher, baker etc. Slightly further away is the market town of Duras and Marmande.
Ideal base for visits to the Dordogne valley with its world famous pre-historic cave paintings, caverns and pre-historic cliff dwellings as well as the romantic medieval Chateaux of the Dordogne and the ' Bastide' towns (fortified market towns) which remain largely as they were 600 years ago.
World renowned wine tasting is available locally in the Duras, Sauterne, Marmande, Bergerac and Monbazillac areas as well as in Graves, Médoc and the picturesque medieval town of Sainte-Emillion.
There are regular markets in the local picturesque towns of Duras (Monday), Sainte-Foy-la-Grande (Saturday)and Eymet (Thursday), along with many others in the area. On the first Sunday of each month, the old town of Bergerac transformed into a large antique market.
Bordeaux, with its opera house, art galleries, museums, shops and the lovely broad sandy beaches of the Atlantic coast are little more than an hour away. Moreover, Biarritz, located further south on the Atlantic coast, is still within striking distance of a day-trip.
