A beautiful romance can easily flourish in this precious country cottage in the Dordogne. Everything a couple needs is within the four rough-hewn walls of the petit villa, but your honeymoon will truly bloom in the gardens, and the countryside beyond. You won't believe your eyes as you swim in the small private pool, the rolling green hills stretching out before you, the flowers in the garden nodding their heads.
Use the villa's bicycles to ride to Saint Meard de Gurcon (2km), a town full of flowers, gorgeous architecture, and award-winning wine. Indeed, you're in the middle of wine country; don't pass over the chance to taste your way through the Bergerac wine region (just follow the Dordogne river toward Bergerac, 30km away). In the opposite direction you can visit Chateau de Montaigne (15km), a wine-producing castle where French philosopher Michel de Montaigne was born.
An hour's drive will take you to the architecture, gardens, and wine of Bordeaux - La Perle d'Aquitaine. The Bergerac airport is your nearest escape from the region (33km), but don't fret, this is just the beginning. Come write your love's first chapter in this simple, peaceful villa for two.
