Aux volets bleus chez Mark & ​​Sylvie

The Black Périgord, located southeast of the Dordogne, offers a wide variety of remarkable sights. With its landscapes, rivers, picturesque villages, this is the ideal place for holidays or long weekends.

"La petite maison" is a pretty perigourdine cottage, situated just a few minutes walk from the centre of the village of Rouffignac St Cernin de Reilhac, in the heart of the Périgord Noir, less than an hour drive from Bergerac or Brive airports. In the village, you will find a local bakery, butcher, grocery store, traditional sunday market, supermarket, restaurants and cafés.

It has all the modern conveniences whilst having all the charm and character of a cottage. 
Tastefully decorated, the property is fully equiped with everything you will need for a relaxing holiday summer or winter as it has been fully insulated.

The cottage, 95 m2, sleeps 4 (up to 6) guests with 2 spacious bedrooms on the first floor
- 1 bedroom with a king size bed ,15 m2
- 1 bedroom with a king size bed and a single bed , 21 m2 
- We also have a folding guest bed if needed

The ground floor is a light and airy open plan space with
Spacious kitchen dining area with a 6 seater dining table and chairs, cooker, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, washing machine, dryer, microwave. There is also a wood burning stove which can be used during the autumn/winter season.
Lounge area with sofa, TV.

A large family bathroom with a toilet, walk in shower, towel heater and hairdryer

A set of french doors opens up to a stunning patio where you can relax and enjoy the best view of the valley while cooking outdoors on the stone barbecue. 

The Dordogne is a region you can discover in so many ways......

There are a thousand and one "châteaux" in the Perigord, so why not visit one or two during your holiday and let history unfolds. Le Château de Castelnaud -Les Eyzies de Tayac is the one of the most beautiful of the region and le Château de l'Herm- Rouffignac is just a few minutes from your cottage.

You could also explore the caves by boarding a train journey through  la Grotte de Rouffignac- also called "la grotte aux mille mamouths" to see the art of hunters in prehistoric time at one of the largest caves of the region.

Take a walk on La Roque Saint Christophe- Peysac le-moustier and discover how men lived on the cliff face 80m high in prehistoric time in this beautifully restored troglodyte village.

For nature and sport lovers, many activities are offered to discover the Perigord in its natural beauty.
From miles of walk and mountain bike trails to horse trecking with Les Cavaliers de la Vézère- Sergeac, cliff climbing, zip trekking the tree tops at Accrobranche- " L'appel de la foret"- Thenon, or going caving;  you will definetely find many ways to enjoy yourselves.

Many rivers run through the whole Perigord , the Dordogne  of course  but also the Vézère just a few miles away. They played a key role in the transportation of goods in the past but are now a place for leisure activities : 

Kayaking/canoeing is very popular, let yourself drift through picturest villages on the river Vézère like  Les Eyzies, St Leon sur Vésère, La roque Gageac .
Swimming and fishing are also enjoyed along the river.

Then for a relaxing family day out with a picnic, we enjoy going to our local "beach" at the Le lac de Tamnies
or a day at the water park Les étangs du Bos- Saint Chamassy where we all have a splashing day!

Markets: Our traditional sunday morning market can not be missed where you can buy all of your local produces. Every Wednesday evening, during the summer, do not forget your festive and friendly invitation at Rouffignac Night Market where you can eat the best local food and meet the local producers, followed by musical entertainment where you can dance the night away!

Happy Holidays,
Mark & Sylvie

Fantastic experience in a delightful home and warm helpful owners.
The view of the Vesere Valley's undulatinng hills and woods is a showstopper but it didn't end there. Architectural details preserved and wrapped in the convenience of a modern home. Sylvie and Mark are delightful.

Beautiful property in a beautiful location, with excellent views of the surrounding countryside. We had not visited this part of France before so had planned where we wanted to visit. Our hosts local knowledge and information helped to fully enhance our holiday experience. Looking forward to returning some time in the future.

We Enjoyed a Great 10-day Stay
Mark and Sylvie have created a beautiful life in Rouffignac, and have masterfully renovated two older traditional stone houses into very comfortably modernized gîtes that maintain the character and charm of the past. There is a great number of activities to do in the immediate region. Even with ten days there is still so much more we would have liked to enjoy.

Delightful bite in a great location
My husband and I spent a relaxing week in Mark and Sylvia’s lovely gite. It was just as the photos and description portrayed and equipped with everything needed to make it feel like a home from home! Mark and Slyvie were exceptional hosts, very accessible but not intrusive, and full of information about local events and places to visit. We cannot recommend their gite highly enough.

Sylvie and Mark were welcoming and provided us with much local information. The property was mostly to our expectations. The stairs to the bedrooms are very steep and not suitable for everyone especially as there is no upstairs toilet. Also the nearby road which looks like a lane in the photographs is quite busy and noisy at times. However we did enjoy our stay

A lovely stay in Rouffanac
This is a great place to stay whilst visiting the area. Sylvie and Mark are great hosts and ensure that your stay is comfortable. The views from the property are amazing and the veranda is a great place to sit in the evenings with a glass of wine. Sylvie went out of her way to ensure that my dog’s special food was delivered ahead of our holiday …. You can’t ask more from a host. We will definitely be returning😊

Fantastic cottage in lovely area :-)
Great find, well situated on the edge of a village - close enough to walk in but far enough to not know it's there. Cottage is very well equipped, has everything you need for a week away, not only has it got everything but it has the little extra's like salt and pepper - which doesn't sound a lot but makes a difference. Fixtures and fittings are all of a very high standard and can't say we wanted for anything or felt that anything was missing. As it was Oct/Nov there was an ample and much appreciated supply of logs for the wood burner - replenished daily. We arrived late on a Sunday night and we asked if a few groceries could be picked up for us - which they were - we really appreciated that - thank you! Overall a great find outside of our usual holiday area but we'll definitely be back - thank you Mark & Sylvie - you've got a lovely gite - we are very jealous! Andrew, Katie & Oscar

Totally amazing place with lovely hosts and everything was perfect
It is not ofen you book a holiday and when you arrive everything is exactly as you expected and more. The house is beautiful and in a great location. 5 minutues walk into the village. Mark and Sylvie made us very welcome and gave us advice and help about what to see and do in the area. We wanted to make full use of the house and the lovely terrace where we had all our meals. Take advantage of Sylvie's cooking as she offers delicious 2 course meals for only 15 euros each. We did twice and loved both meals. I can't recommend this place enough. We stayed for a week (25 August - 1 September 2018) and wanted to stay longer. Di & Joe

A charming modern Gite, in a breathtaking rural location.
Immaculately clean, finished to a high standard. Modern interior with a rustic charm. Located within walking distance of the local village which has all amenities you'd require for a stay here, the weeknight market is a must! Mark and Sylvie were an invaluable source of information when it came to wanting to know about local tourist spots. It is ideally located to explore the Dordogne area. They are exceptionally welcoming it was lovely to have met them. Ben & Leoni

Aux Volets Bleus surpassed all of our expectations. The gite has been renovated with love & great care and is a truly special place. Everything you could possibly need has been provided, along with thoughtful extras. Sylvie and Mark are very welcoming hosts, providing local knowledge to help you make the most of your stay. St Leon and Les Eyzies are both worth a visit for a day by the river relaxing, swimming or canoeing. Our stay was simply too short and we will definitely be back.
