| Location |
The village of Celles is located in the heart of the scenic Dordogne region and only 25 km from its capital, the city of Perigueux. And 6 km from Verteillac, a very lively village with two superb cafes. These are the nearest eating places to Celles. Not far away is the delightful medieval town of Brantome where it is a delight to walk around the remarkable and ancient abbey founded by Charlemagne (742-814). With its soaring campanile this is one of the most elegant medieval and Renaissance buildings in the Dordogne, complete with caves used by the monks as kitchens and cellars. The town sits on a bend of the river Dronne and a stroll along the riverside is an unforgettable experience. Loads of brilliant restaurants complete the experience – you will come back!. There are also boats trips available. Not very far away is the town of Grottes de Villars and a short distance north of the town are the caves with some impressive stalactites and paintings more than 17,000 years old. It was discovered in 1953 and is the largest underground network in the Perigord. The underground river has hollowed out huge chambers connected to each other by galleries. Nearby is the Chateau de Puyguilhem in a village of the same name. It is a fascinating structure way out in the woods a Renaissance masterpiece that fell into disrepair but was carefully restored after WW2 About 10 km down the river from Brantome you come to the pretty village of Bourdeilles where there are two chateaux of different periods built on a fortified hill – a medieval fortress (13th – 14th century) and a Renaissance palace (16th) with a remarkable collection of furniture. On the river Dronne you can rent a canoe Just a short distance away there is the little town of Riberac and is renowned for it's for its Friday market – the best in the area ad well worth a visit. This town has the nearest supermarket about 4 km away. Going a little way east from Celles just over the Charente border is Aubeterre sur Dronne Its charming narrow streets wind through white stone houses and ancient buildings.
