About La Banne

Your gateway to the Dordogne

Lieu-dit La Banne is a hamlet in the commune of Sagelat, a small friendly community 2.2km from the medieval village of Belvès which is rated one of France’s most beautiful villages.

The river Nauze, a tributary of the Dordogne, runs through Sagelat which sits at the foothill of Belvès. You can enjoy a pleasant, 25 minute walk through country lanes, passing Sagelat’s 12th century church, up to the village with its restaurants, café-bars and weekly Saturday morning market.

In Siorac-en-Perigord, located 6km away on the River Dordogne, there is a small selection of shops, café-bars, restaurants and a larger supermarket.

The Domaine…

Set in 7 hectares of beautiful Dordogne countryside with views of Belvès in the distance, Domaine de La Banne comprises of a renovated farmhouse, extensive gardens and a barn conversion providing our guest accommodation.

The property’s extensive land ensures that both we and our guests can enjoy the gardens and surrounding countryside without ever feeling on top of one another. It is bordered by agricultural land farmed and maintained by local farmers. With only two sets of neighbours close yet far enough away to guarantee privacy, guests can be assured of a relaxing stay.

Deer, boar, badgers, rabbits, hares and a plethora of birds can often be seen in the gardens and surrounding fields.

We strive to be as environmentally friendly as possible, helping to preserve our beautiful region through recycling, use of our on-site composting bins and eco-friendly cleaning products. At certain times of the year we use home grown produce in our breakfasts and the gîte’s welcome basket.
