Tucked away in a peaceful location, it is secluded yet only 2km from shops and the prehistoric Lascaux caves, 25 minutes from medieval Sarlat with wonderful views of lush cornfields , towering poplar trees , open countryside, and private fishing right on your doorstep. Whilst on holiday here at Le Four a Sel, you can combine beautiful French surroundings with your favourite sport: fishing, right on your doorstep. We are next to the Vézère river, where Barbel is a good catch as the river is fairly shallow and fast flowing. At the end of our property is a fish ladder and a weir. In addition to this, along the valley you will find many streams, clear and beautifully tea coloured, excellent for fly fishing.

As Dad enjoys a day’s fishing - Mum can relax under one of the walnut trees in the orchard while the children can frolic in the pool or entertain themselves with a selection of games in the two play areas on site.
