You can stroll down the pretty, winding lane with your picnic and bottle of wine to cool in the river. The children can paddle and play in the shallows with their fishing nets. For more serious fisherman, get a permit from the shop and fish for trout or just to sit on the bank and enjoy the beauty and peace of this lovely river.

Or sit on the terrace at the house overlooking the pool and watch the sun go down over the walnut orchards and distant hills.

Three excellent restaurants in walking distance, one with terrace overlooking Dordogne River. Cafe serving delicious salads and other dishes under the walls of the medieval church.

St Julien de Lampon, between the historic towns of Sarlat and Souillac, nestles in the lush wooded scenery of Perigord Noir, the loveliest part of Acquitaine threaded by the beautiful Dordogne whose banks are meadows, wooded hills, or dramatic sheer cliffs.
