La Ferme de l'Antoine

- Activities -

Calès lies mid-way between Bergerac and Sarlat near the town of Lalinde (with all shops and services) on a hill overlooking a meander of the river Dordogne. It is a small, very quiet although not isolated, village of 300 inhabitants, set in a rural environment surrounded by woods and farmed fields.

Cales makes an ideal starting point for visiting the archaeological treasures of the area, such as Les Eyzies, Lascaux, Proumeyssac etc., medieval castles ( Biron, Castelnaud, Les Milandes, Beynac etc.), museums (of truffles, walnuts, prehistory etc.).    

Situated in the heart of bastide country, you are only a stone’s throw from the bastides of Lalinde, Villefranche and the most famous of them all - Monpazier (20km).
There are also many listed villages such as Trémolat (3 km), La Roque Gageac which is carved into the rock face, Domme and Les Eyzies to name but a few.

An extremely wide range of sporting activities in the vicinity include long or short walks through the woods or along registered GR footpaths, mountain-biking, tennis (Badefols 3 Km) horse-riding, canoeing, golf in Belvès (15 km) and fishing.
Possibility of renting bicycles.

For “gourmets” of all kinds, the Périgord is a pure gastronomic marvel and you will find all sorts of food, from informal country-style meals to the most elaborate Michelin-starred restaurant not far from Calès. Everybody here will compete to help you discover local specialities such as truffles, foie gras, duck of all kinds, cured sausages, pastries… and, should you wish to visit a village market everyday Lalinde (Thurs), Le Buisson (Fri), Bergerac (Wed-Sat), or Le Bugue (Sun) will leave you with delightful memories of the flavours of France. Wine is everywhere too with the Bergerac, Monbazillac, Pécharmant and Saussignac appellations next door, and Pomerol, St Emilion, and Pauillac only an hour away.

The owners live on the property and will be able to give you further details about these activities during your stay at “La Ferme d’Antoine”.
