Katy and Ben have taken over the two gites at Le Cuvier in spring 2018, having spent the past ten years running a very successful self catering business in the French Alps. They live on site with their two dogs and two horses. Located just a mile from Sarlat-la-Caneda, the "capital of the Dordogne", these gites are the perfect place from which to explore this stunning region.

Le Grand Cuvier and the smaller Petit Cuvier next door are located just over a mile away from the historic centre of Sarlat-le-Caneda with all of its restaurants, shops and other attractions. They share access to the lovely 5 x 10 metre pool (fully fenced and with a pool alarm to keep the little ones safe), the gardens and other outdoor spaces. The grounds total 3 hectares (about 10 acres) of which about a third is woodland, a third is grazed by our two horses and the other third is lawns and pool for guests to play and relax on. The site itself has plenty of shared space for parking, either right outside or just down the driveway. Le Grand Cuvier has two bathrooms and three bedrooms and also a single bed on the half landing, sleeping 7 in total. Please note that if you book Le Grand Cuvier for just two guests, only one bathroom will be made available to you. Le Petit Cuvier has two bedrooms and one bedroom. Both have equipped kitchens and living rooms, with the kitchen and bathrooms at Le Grand Cuvier being refitted in late spring 2018 and the kitchen at Le Petit Cuvier in Spring 2019. There are separate bbq and outside dining areas for each of them.
