Le Petit Bijou is only a short, level walk from the centre of the lovely village of Tremolat situated in the Perigord Noir area of the beautiful Dordogne valley.
Tremolat is a medieval village of enormous charm and is home to the renowned Vieux Logis hotel with its fabulous Michelin star restaurant as well as a traditional French bistro, a pizzeria, a cafe/wine bar which also sells regional produce and a village café run by volunteers. The village café offers a number of activities including themed food evenings and live music throughout the season. Trémolat has a boulangerie and there is a small grocery shop on the village campsite. We also have a railway station with trains to Bordeaux, St Emilion, Bergerac and Sarlat.
As well as a small weekly market the village hosts various seasonal activities including evening marchés gourmands with street food, brocantes and live music during the summer months. The local campsite also offers a number of food and live music events open to everyone during the summer season.
We are ideally situated for discovering the culture and beauty of the Dordogne with a wealth of castles, bastide towns, caves (including the famous Lascaux) and gardens to visit. Sarlat, the most visited and renowned medieval town in the area, is less than an hour away.

The area is also known for its wonderful markets including Issigeac and St Cyprien, both highly rated by locals and tourists alike.
