Where Are We?
The Dordogne...
The Dordogne region of SW France remains a firm favourite with travelers to this vast country and has a special place in many visitor's hearts.
The area is rightly famed for it's mild climate, ancient honey-coloured towns and villages and fantastic food.
Couple all this with its laid back rural pace of life and you'll find it a hard place to leave!

We are near the pretty market village of St Genies...
We are 200km east of Bordeaux, 50km west of Brive le Gaillarde, 15km north of beautiful medieval Sarlat and 10km south of Montignac (where you can visit the famous Lascaux cave paintings).
The nearest hamlet to us which is recognised by the Michelin road atlas is Brégégère, which is about 2km from us.
Directions...
Once you reach Brive it's a very straightforward half-hour run to Bombel:
After passing the Lac de la Grande Prade look for the line of poplars on your left (about 5 miles on) and take the next left turn.
Pass through the hamlet of Les Ans and follow the left-pointing sign for Bombel, on the side of a stone barn.
We are about half a mile up the hill down a lane on the left opposite a stone cottage on the right.
