Aubeterre, one of France&#8217;s most picturesque villages, is a 30-minute drive away. You may walk up the small cobbled street to the lovely square, which is lined with cafes, restaurants, and gift shops. You can also see one of France&#8217;s oldest churches, established in the 11th century.<\/p>\n<p>Bordeilles chateau &#8211;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"rfNCdguN1C\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/chateau-bourdeilles.fr\/en\/\">Accueil &#8211; EN<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"\u00ab\u00a0Accueil &#8211; EN\u00a0\u00bb &#8212; Chateau de Bourdeilles\" src=\"https:\/\/chateau-bourdeilles.fr\/en\/embed\/#?secret=HRwnllsNIt#?secret=rfNCdguN1C\" data-secret=\"rfNCdguN1C\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/allocanoes24.com\/\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/frenchfarmhouseholiday.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/elementor\/thumbs\/167D95FD-9CCA-4F82-BE4A-825151B50880-1024x768-1-qb5bud4yl4fbyk5nke1z8v2bs01dry3qnwclhru8p4.jpeg\" title=\"167D95FD-9CCA-4F82-BE4A-825151B50880-1024&#215;768\" alt=\"Kayaking in Beautiful Brantome\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a><figcaption>Alo Canoes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.grotte-villars.com\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/frenchfarmhouseholiday.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/elementor\/thumbs\/house-villars-r9it5p7f4fydd30213osxqret7jp170jyswwua5wnc.jpg\" title=\"house villars\" alt=\"Grotte De Villars near Brantome with original neolithic paintings\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a><figcaption>Grotte De Villars<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>A great location&#8230;<\/h2>\n<p>A little further a field are the beautiful towns of Sarlet, Rocamadour and St Emillion, all classed as world heritage sites and well worth the trip.
