For 2 years now, B&B Ferme de Tayac has been the choice of accommodation for people from all around the world.
Ferme de Tayac, a lovely 12th century former farmhouse / monastery in the hart of the Vezere Valley, just 5 minutes walk from Les Eyzies. For hundreds of years Ferme de Tayac was occupied by the munks, who also farmed the land around it.
In 2001 Suzanne & Mike purchased Ferme de Tayac after it had been unoccupied for over 10 years. It was in a sorry state, and was deemed dangerous and a hazzard.
It took Suzanne & Mike 7 years to bring Ferme de Tayac back to it’s former glory.
With among other things, meter thick walls, rooms built into solid rock, oak beam structures, and bedrooms in former monks quarters make Ferme de Tayac a speacial and very unique place to stay whilst visiting the Dordogne, and it is not hard to see why Ferme de Tayac has been the travellers choice of accommodation for 2 years.
The Dordogne is without doubt the nicest and most versatile region in France. It is the Dordogne that attracts about 4 million people from around the world. The (very) busy months are without doubt July and August, but more and more people are avoiding these periods, and coming “out of season” which is extending the tourist season in the Dordogne to 7 months a year, this was only 4 months a year 5 years ago. This change is due to the fact that the Dordogne has lovely weather, and of course because the main tourist attraction is the Dordogne itself and not just a single attraction. Prehistoric Caves and shelters, castles & forts, Medieval towns and villages, Bastides, rolling hills, excellent food etc.etc.
Finding accommodation in the Dordogne is not so difficult, but finding nice accommodation in the Dordogne can be very difficult, the reason being, is that some of the nicest accommodation is not situated in the (very) busy towns, but just outside in the still rural parts. It is these accommodations that make your stay in the Dordogne worth it. The problem is, that most of these accommodations do not have the same advertising options as the ones in the towns, Internet is often very limited or not there at all.
This site is to promote the rural and the nicest accommodation the Dordogne has to offer. If you are staying in the nicest part of France, we want you to stay in the nicest accommodation in the Dordogne.
