One of the most exciting things to do is to see the area by HOT AIR BALLOON. Even if you are not so brave to go up in a balloon – it is the most amazing sight to see the balloon floating peacefully above you. See www.montgolfiere-du-perigord.com.
The AIR CHATEAUX COMPANY offer lovely trips in a small aircraft – giving you an excellent birds-eye view of the area with all its beautiful castles, chateaux and patchwork countryside.
Most visitors to the Dordogne enjoy visiting the surrounding villages, all within a good walk or cycle distance away. To make your stay more enjoyable we have created a guide to exploring the area with les Chouettes, The French Country Cottages as your base.
