The house

The Ecurie is the former horse stable and is located in the outbuilding, opposite the mansion.
This horse stable has been transformed into a romantic gîte, preserving the still original and authentic elements such as racks, mangers and floor.
The ground floor is an open space with sitting area, dining area and kitchen.
The lounge has a sitting area with 2 large comfortable sofas, and sideboard.
The dining area has a round table and matching chairs .
The kitchen has a 4-burner cooker with oven and extractor, microwave, coffee maker, other kitchen utensils and appliances and the necessary crockery.

bedside tables with lamps, a breakfast table, a dressing table with a large mirror and a wardrobe with a coat rack on the bar.
The bathroom is "separated" from the bedroom in a romantic way, by long curtains and has a shower cubicle, washbasin on table with mirror above it and a toilet, separated by a bamboo screen.
This cottage is very tastefully and romantically decorated and accommodates 2 people.
The terrace in front of this gîte has 'a table and chairs, and 2 sunbeds.
This gîte adjoins the large courtyard and the even larger and spacious garden with its beautiful centuries-old trees, under which it is lovely to relax.
Right next to this gîte is an outdoor shower, toilet and small washbasin. This building was the former and thus very old (wooden) toilet (with clover in the door).
The beautiful garden with its centuries-old trees, has various seats, dining tables, chairs and deck chairs and offers you the opportunity to prepare your meals on the barbecue and eat them there. The courtyard and garden are spacious and shared with the guests of the other 3 gîtes on the estate.
The garden is spacious and laid out so that everyone can find a spacious spot.
The courtyard and garden are shared with the other guests of the 3 other gîtes on the estate.
Your four-legged friend can come with you if it behaves properly, is not aggressive, respects the interior, brings its own bed and stays in your vicinity and could not be a nuisance to the other guests.
Please let me know in advance.

Reviews
Deborah from Amsterdam,
We hebben het heerlijk gehad in Gerda's Le Nid des Oiseaux - Le Marronnier. Mooie, rustige, schone plek en van alle gemakken voorzien. Grote, mooie tuin waar altijd wel een schaduwplek te vinden is. Het was erg heet in deze week, maar het is lekker koel in het huis. De locatie is perfect en we hebben de mooiste dorpjes en andere plekken gezien, allemaal in een straal van zo'n 90 minuten rijden. Het dorpje zelf heeft een bakker en een tabac en boodschappen kunnen gedaan worden in Thenon. Gerda is een geweldige gastvrouw en ook al waren we er relatief kort, we hebben er van genoten.
Cees en Christine from Maurik,
Wij hebben bijzonder genoten van ons verblijf in de eeuwenoude en sfeervolle gite "La Poste", mede door de ontvangst en de gastvrijheid van de zeer vriendelijke gastvrouw Gerda! Door het behoud van authentieke details (zoals muren, deuren en vloeren) en de smaakvolle inrichting lijkt het of je in een oud kasteel verblijft.
Het vakantiehuis is voorzien van alle comfort, biedt optimale privacy en heeft een prachtige groene tuin met zon en schaduwplekken. De bakker zit om de hoek, dus iedere ochtend (behalve maandag) heerlijk vers Frans brood bij het ontbijt. Voor de dagelijkse boodschappen per auto naar supermarkten in de omgeving.
Rustig dorpje, maar er is genoeg te doen in de omgeving. Laatste dag nog genoten van heel gezellige barbecue in de tuin met de andere Nederlandse en Franse gasten en Gerda. Komen heel graag weer terug!!!Marcel Vermeer from Zoeterwoude,

Restaurants, food & wine
The Dordogne is known for its culinary delights where Foie Gras, Cêpe and Truffe reign supreme and the wine from Bergerac also deserves its reputation.
Of course, there are the day and evening markets in the various villages where you can buy local produce and also sit down at the table to taste these dishes.
The magret de canard is then baked for you on the spot and you can appreciate the pure products of the local producers.
You can also enjoy a guided tour and explanation from a truffle and honey producer in the immediate vicinity of Cubjac.
In the surrounding villages, you will find a variety of restaurants offering the famous specialities of the Dordogne.
Activities
The Dordogne is the land of culture, nature and history with its 1001 castles, its medieval towns,
its world-famous caves, charming villages, its summer festivals, museums and numerous sights... in short, lots to do culturally.
There are also the various courses in all kinds of fields.
The landscape is gently rolling with the river, streams and waterfalls meandering through it.
In the immediate vicinity of the house, you can go cycling, hiking, swimming, fishing, canoeing in the river and playing tennis on the other side of the road.
Horse riding and golf at 20min.
If you do not feel like being active, you can relax in a deck chair in the intimacy of the walled garden and in the shade of centuries-old trees.
