Location
About the surrounding area of Le Mas Du MyleneLe Mas Du Mylene is set in 25 acres of parkland, just 1km from the edge of the Vézère River.
It’s just a five-minute drive (2km) to the local village just across from the river with a small selection of restaurants and shops. The immediate surrounding countryside offers some lovely walks and fishing opportunities. Another few minutes in the car will bring you to Château de Losse with its lovely gardens and fascinating history dating back to the 11th Century.
There are many beautiful places to discover in this part of Dordogne, starting with the famous Lascaux caves (8km) just outside the charming village of Montignac (7km) which also lies on the Vézère River, where you will find a wider choice of restaurants and shops.

In July and August they take place across many villages and towns including Montignac on a Monday evening and pretty Saint-Léon-sur-Vézère on a Thursday.
Not forgetting some of the unmissable larger towns and cities such as sophisticated Périgueux (47km), famous for its amazing black truffles and Sarlat (22km) with its maze of medieval narrow streets, lovely squares and amazing restaurants. Not forgetting beautiful Bergerac (73km) on the Dordogne with its medieval architecture, narrow streets of boutiques and great restaurants as well as the unmissable Maisons de Vins.
