Verteillac, a 10-minute drive away, has a nice boulangerie and a variety of cafes and restaurants, as well as a bank, pharmacy, and monthly Brocante. Riberac, the nearest town, is famed for its Friday market, the largest in the area, which features a broad selection of local produce, including local arts and crafts; it has a great atmosphere and is attended by both residents and tourists.
Perigueux, only 30 min away, is the capital of the Perigord region and it dates back 2000 years to Roman times. It is a beautiful city with a Cathedral, Roman ruins, and a museum. It features a wonderful collection of medieval cobbled streets, many local artisan shops, clothes shops, cafes and bars. It has weekly markets held on Wednesday and Saturday mornings.

Brantome, a picturesque town nestled on the banks of the Dronne with its famous 18th century abbey, caverns, and many restaurants, cafes, and shops, is just a little further on.
