Local area

Les Buddléias is situated in the peaceful hamlet of Le Bost-Vieux, 3 miles from the old English bastide village of Villefranche de Lonchat.

There are several restaurants nearby serving anything from pizzas to gourmet meals and offering superb value for money.

There are a number of supermarkets in the local market towns, but Villefranche itself has a general store, boulangerie, post office, as well as two bars, one of which sells newspapers.

A travelling van goes past the house at least twice a day from which you can buy fresh bread and other provisions.

In Montpeyroux (less than half a mile away), there is a post-office and a coin-operated public phone and now a Spanish restaurant.

The market towns of Castillon-la-Bataille, Montpon, and Sainte Foy-la-Grande are all within easy reach.

The lake resort of Lac de Gurson, 2 miles, offers beaches, swimming, horse riding, bars and restaurants.

The historic town of St. Emilion is a 20 minute drive to the west and the meticulously restored town of Bergerac is 30 minutes away to the east.

The Atlantic coast with its wonderful surfing and the highest sand dune in Europe is 90 minutes away.
