If there’s one time of year that’s perfect for resting body and mind, it’s the summer holiday. It’s the time when you can finally let go of the pressure accumulated throughout the year, and when you need to treat yourself to a good mix of calm, serenity and a change of scenery. But to bring all these ingredients together, you need to choose your destination carefully. Here’s an idea for a destination with all its advantages. You’ll thank us when your batteries are recharged.
The Dordogne, picturesque France as we’ve always dreamed of it
It’s on the banks of the Lot and in the famous Dordogne that we recommend you put down your suitcases for a few days or a few weeks this summer. Before we go into all the benefits of a holiday, we invite you to give serious consideration to a holiday village like Village des Cigales.
Nestled in peaceful countryside, a human-scale complex of 26 small, comfortable houses awaits you, just a few minutes from the river. Ideally located between Cahors, Agen and Bergerac, and just a stone’s throw from the famous listed village of Saint-Cirq-Lapopie, it’s a destination of choice for those wishing to rediscover the serenity they cherish. Another advantage of this FranceComfort destination is that you’ll be welcomed in English, allowing you to adapt smoothly to your new summer horizons.
Why not treat yourself to a stress-free holiday?
As you wander the cobbled streets of the villages, visit the estates and their vineyards, discover a terroir and its world-renowned culinary specialities, you’ll immediately know you’ve come to the right place.
Between wine and food tastings, in the land of foie gras, sweet white wine and other specialities, you’ll be warmly welcomed by the inhabitants of this enchanting region. After a few visits to the local markets, brimming with products from an immensely rich terroir, you can take a few minutes to yourself. Refresh yourself on the banks of the Lot and let your mind wander for a few minutes before serenely considering the rest of your program.
This could be the solution: don’t plan too much, don’t anticipate too much, which will be an excellent choice of activity or visit anyway. Give yourself time to appreciate every second, and finally regain the serenity you’ve lost.
And why not take a break to enjoy the first-class aquatic facilities, from heated pools to slides and private Jacuzzis? There’s something for the whole family, with sports fields and entertainment in an atmosphere that will appeal to young and old alike. A restaurant with terrace for meals just a few steps from your cottage, without having to move or restrict yourself, to punctuate your day if you wish. Unless you prefer a self-catering barbecue.
In the peace and quiet of your private home, you can give your body the rest it deserves. Then comes one of the best moments of your day: sleep, which takes you effortlessly into dreamland. More than well-being, what if this was happiness?
