There are many tracks and footpaths for serious walkers and cyclists. We have four mens and two ladies bikes, a football field with goalposts and a badminton net, table tennis, table football, boules and a dartboard (bring your own darts if you are a serious player), all to use at your leisure (no extra charge).

The Perigord is considered by the French to be one the most important gastronomic regions of France. The vast selection of restaurants is a gourmet's delight! Five course meals including wine can cost as little as seven pounds-it is also possible to pay a great deal more! There are a tremendous variety of good regional wines at prices ranging from under a pound.
Just one mile away there is a 18 hole golf course 
. Les Sarrazinies also has a 2 hole practice range(bring your own clubs). For the fisherman, we have a lake stocked with tench, carp, perch and bream. The lake has been stocked over the past 10 years and the fish have bred sucessfully. All fish caught have been returned to the lake for the future of the sport. Please bring your own rods and barb free hooks. For the keener fisherman, there are a group of 5 lakes nearby that can be fished for a small charge.
At several points along the Vezere and Dordogne rivers, you can hire canoes for a few hours or a whole day-great fun. There is now an equestrian centre here in St. Felix, catering for riders from ten years upwards with a good selection of horses.
