Le Bonheur is set in a tranquil position with lovely views across to the local village of Taillecavat which is just across a small vale.  The house itself is down a short no-through-road, with the closest neighbours around 100m away.  It is on approx an acre of land and borders one of the many local vineyards set amongst the beautifully undulating countryside of the Gironde.  At Le Bonheur, you can swim, sunbathe, play table tennis and boules, whilst the garden is large enough for many other outdoor activities.

The local village of Taillecavat is1 km away by road or just a short walk across the small vale.  Here you can buy the essentials for every successful French holiday - baguettes, croissants and other vital supplies.  The historic market town of Duras with its imposing medieval Chateau, parchment museum, stained glass studio, cafés, restaurants, and rugby club, is 5 mins from Le Bonheur.

Activities and Attractions    

  The gentle rolling countryside of the Dropt valley is one of the most lovely parts of France and is ideal for cycling and hiking.  Facilities are available within a radius of 30 minutes for riding and playing tennis, or canoeing and fishing on the river Dropt or Dordogne.  The magnificent Golf course at Chateau de Vigiers is only 15 mins away. 

Le Bonheur is in France’s SW Aquitaine Region and is perfectly set on the border between the Gironde, Dordogne, and the Lot-et-Garonne Departments.  Perfect to relax by the private pool or explore this beautiful part of France.  It is an ideal centre for visits to the Dordogne valley with its world famous pre-historic cave paintings, caverns and pre-historic cliff dwellings, as well as the romantic medieval Chateaux of the Dordogne and the ' Bastide' towns (fortified market towns) which remain largely as they were 600 years ago.

World renowned wine tasting is available locally in the Duras, Sauterne, Marmande, Bergerac and Monbazillac areas as well as in Graves, Médoc and the picturesque medieval town of Sainte-Emillion.

There are regular markets in the local picturesque towns of Duras, Sainte-Foy- la- Grande and Eymet, along with many others in the area.  On the first Sunday of each month, the old town of Bergerac is transformed into a large antique market. 

Bordeaux, with its opera house, art galleries, museums, shops and the lovely broad sandy beaches of the Atlantic coast are little more than an hour away.  Moreover, Biarritz, located further south on the Atlantic coast, is still within striking distance of a day-trip.
