We love the volunteer-run Cinema Eden in Monsegur, they show some international films in their original language version (VO) with French subtitles.
The market squares host a variety of festivals and events throughout the year, Monsegur hosts the famous 24 Heures de Swing in July.

This house is far more beautiful than what we see on the internet. The views are extraordinary, the hosts are more welcoming than any I have ever met, and location is ideal.
Absolutely stunning location, fantastic views from the poolside and gardens- really peaceful. Sarah and Andrew were so welcoming and really helpful and went out of their way over the 2 weeks we stayed at the gite.
The place is just like home with all the things that you need – you can see attention to detail is very high. We will definitely be back
As a family of 4 visiting France for summer, we can’t recommend Sarah’s gite highly enough. Absolutely beautiful location, vast and well-kept grounds, a lovely pool and pristine inside space. All the amenities you need for a holiday plus many extra benefits. Sarah was an extremely proactive, helpful and friendly host – no favour to big or small. We travelled with two young kids who adored their time here. The local village and town are charming with their night markets and the whole area is a stunning place to visit. We hope to visit again next summer!
Sarah and Andrew are incredible hosts, and I can’t recommend them and their place highly enough. Sarah and Andrew are warm, kind, very friendly, fun, and present when we needed but also mindful to give us privacy. It’s such a beautiful home, garden and pool, and they have thought of literally everything you might need to make your stay enjoyable. We truly feel they went above and beyond in every aspect of our stay, and as a family can’t wait to go back! And, the beautiful and generous welcome basket is a lovely touch as well. Thank you Sarah and Andrew, see you soon, we will be back!
We had a truly wonderful stay at Sarah’s place. The house is beautiful, the views are incredible, and the pool is perfect.
What really stands the Gite apart is Sarah’s attention to details – she’s thought of every little thing you could need to make you feel truly at home – fluffy towels, all the kitchen bits you could need, great tv and Wi-Fi, and the comfiest beds! They are fantastic hosts – there if you need them, but very respectful of privacy.
Great location for day trips – Bergerac etc, but Eymet and Duras are truly lovely.
Thanks again! We’ll be back!
Great pool, amazing hosts going the extra mile, wonderful beds, very well-equipped kitchen
In short, everything you need and more to have a good time!
The Duras castle and Griffon parc are nearby and are fun activities for the kids.
