Montignac is a small town of some 3,400 inhabitants situated in the Vezere valley - the centre of Pre-history. It is a busy market town, thriving on farming and tourism. Some of the buildings date back to the 13th century.

The larger towns of Perigeaux, Brive and Sarlat are only half an hour drive away. Other beautiful regions and wine growing areas are within easy reach such as the Lot, Quercy, Correze, Limousin and Charente. Bordeaux and the coast are a two hour drive.

Montignac is an ideal centre in which to base a holiday. There are numerous archaelogical and historic sites to visit and a variety of sporting and leisure activities.

Our cottages are in a semi rural location bordering the River Vezere but only a few minutes walk out of town with all its facilities. It is a safe haven for children. In Montignac there is the international Folk / Dance Festival held annually in July. In addition there are manyclassical music recitals held nearby - notable at St. Leon sur Vezere and St. Armand de Coly.
