Location
Position of Property La Queyrelie
LA QUEYRELIE: is a tiny hamlet nestling in the side of a beautiful valley and is situated at the end of a secluded country lane. It is not even shown on some maps! The lane is a no-through road. Although not far by car from the access to the new autoroute and the N89 as well as the D704 there is absolutely no traffic noise from these roads. There is a very popular restaurant within walking distance of La Queyrelie in the neighbouring village of Le Grand Coderc. The village of Azerat (approx. 5mins. drive) is not within comfortable walking distance other than for hill walking enthusiasts. Azerat only has one bar restaurant now but it does have a grocers/ post office, a swimming pool, a shady boules pitch and a tennis court. Thenon, a small market town, is about five minutes drive from Azerat and has several very good restaurants, a good selection of shops and a Tuesday morning market. St Rabier on the D704 (6 mins drive) has a grocers, a bar and two restaurants. There are many other very good restaurants locally with menus for a five course meal from around 12 euros often with wine included. The beautiful Chateau town of Hautefort and the lake Coucou are within 15 minutes drive. Our excellent local doctor in Hautefort is English speaking.

The village of Azerat (approx.5 mins. drive) has two bar restaurants, a grocers and a post office. There is also a communal swimming pool and a tennis court The beautifully restored village hall often hosts community events in July and August. Thenon, a small market town, is about five minutes drive from Azerat and has a good selection of shops with a Tuesday morning market.

This tranquil part of the Dordogne, now officially classed as the Black Périgord, is between Hautefort in the White Périgord and Montignac (Lascaux caves). It is characterised by lush countryside, gently rolling hills, impressive caves and woodlands, rivers and lakes, sleepy hamlets and charming friendly people.
This is the home of prehistory and the sight seeing attractions range from the interesting to the spectacular. Although the pace of life is slow a wide range of activities can be enjoyed and include golf, canoeing, horse riding, tennis, donkey rides, cycle hire, and fishing, all within easy reach. There are lazy boat rides along the rivers or for the more active, the large man made lake at Brive offers a wide variety of water sports. Périgueux, the capital of the Périgord, and Brive, just over the border in the Corrèze, are both large towns and are well worth visiting for the more culturally minded.
