Abafim Estate Agency, now working in the Dordogne (Department 24) offers a wide range of properties available to buy; from barns to bungalows, villas to farms, cottages to chateau, converted barns, land and so much more.

The Dordogne, rich in history, benefits from a fantastic climate – short, mild winters and long, hot summers. The Dordogne is in the Aquitaine Region and is bordered by the following departments; Charente (16), Charente Maritime (17), Corrèze (19), Gironde (33), Lot (47), Lot et Garonne (47) et Haute Vienne (87). Perigueux is the capital city, a medieval town with meandering streets, beautiful architecture, bustling markets and a fantastic climate to accompany it.

Why not spend some time here and discover the rich variety the Dordogne offers? Like the Prehistoric Valley which runs along the Dordogne River in the Vézère Valley, with the breathtaking Lascaux Caves and the unique houses built in to the rocks that line the valley. Walks in the countryside, horse riding, water sports, climbing, wine tasting, markets or just relaxing in the sun sipping a glass of Bergerac wine. 

For the wine lovers, there are the Bergerac vineyards which offer a diverse variety of red, white and rosé wines. The Bergerac vineyards are the 2^nd largest producers after those in the Bordeaux region.

Rich in architecture, the Dordogne has a vast number of historic monuments and nearly 1500 Châteaux scattered in and around towns such as Bergerac, Nontron, Riberac or even St Astier. You will be completely taken in by the rustic charm of this area; the houses, the barns, the mills and especially the chateaux.  Not to mention the beautiful towns with their weekly markets, wandering streets and street cafés. Try Perigueux, Belves, Montpazier or Sarlat (infamous for its art and history) and also recognised as one of the most beautiful villages in France. All of these, and many more, are among the most picturesque towns in France and offer charm, character and tradition.

So if you fancy getting away from it all, then the Dordogne could just be for you. Perhaps that perfect property is just waiting for you here in France!
