Monflanquin, one of ' les plus beaux villages de France' is at 8 kilometers from the property and there are many others in the area such as:

Penne d'Agenais, high up on a plateau with fabulous views and quaint streets with artist boutiques and a wide choice of good restaurants.  

 

Villeréal, Issigiac and Pujols - especially on market days - or their marchés gourmands in the evening during July and August where you buy local produce right on the market square and dine together at communal tables - bring knife and fork!
