Le Logis
Boutique self-catering accommodation on the Dronne.
Le Logis is situated just outside the tiny, medieval village of Chenaud in a quiet little valley on the West side of the Dordogne region. This estate consists of a large hunting lodge, built during various centuries, a large barn with two French towers and an old well. The grounds cover approximately six acres in total and the backyard overlooks the lush and winding Dronne river. The buildings have all been immaculately restored, with boutique interiors, and self-catering chic rooms are available for just two people or up to 14.

Abbaye d'Echourgnac
This area was settled by monks in the late 19th century when Napoleon III decided to drain the marshlands in the area. It was established as an abbey in 1876 and the monks began making cheese to make the farm profitable. The community dispersed in the early 20th century but the site was reoccupied by a community of nuns of Espira Agly who were returning from Herrera in Spain. The nuns live under a vow of silence and have restarted the monks' cheese-making business. The abbey itself cannot be visited but they have a good shop selling cheese and confectionary from other missionaries.
