Location

Haven on my the Hill can be found on the outskirts of Lalandusse, midway between the Bastide town of Eymet and the town of Castillonnès. Bergerac airport is 20 minutes drive away.

Lalandusse has a population of around 180. We are within walking distance of the local Restaurant/Bar where you can find a great lunchtime menu and friendly staff.  The menu de jour will cost you around 12€ for a 3 course meal. In the evening’s they serve a large selection of homemade pizza’s as well as the usual bar drinks. As with many villages here, it has a church and a small, but popular produce market on Sunday’s with many visitors enjoying refreshments on the bar terrace.  Bergerac airport is 25 minutes drive away.

The Bastide town of Issigeac is well worth a visit with its many shops, restaurants and a popular Sunday Market. Eymet is transformed with it’s colourful weekly market on Thursdays where you can buy produce, gifts, clothes, arts and crafts. The square is steeped with great architecture and lined with cafe, bars, pizzeria, restaurants, chemist and shops.

The majority of French people in this area understand basic English, but do try to use basic french when you are out and about as the locals will receive you well. They will likely reply in English to help you. Lot et Garonne is an area where there is a strong french accent. Even just a basic greeting and please and thank you’s will go a long way.
