Young children

We welcome children at Fontalbe. They delight in the pool and surrounding woodlands. However, please do bear in mind that the forests and rivers in the grounds are sometimes not an ideal playground . We ask that you keep your eye on little ones.

The nearest Intermarche is a five-minute drive away. There is a boulangerie and a butcher and other artisan shops, restaurants and bars in Beaumont du Perigord (5 minutes), with a twice weekly market in the Summer.
