They are both hunters. I know this is not everyone's cup of tea, but a lot of people from that generation in rural France do like hunting, fishing, fetching mushrooms. There are woodlands all around the karting circuit. My dad and his friend have built some platforms in the trees, and from mid-October to mid-November they go there every morning to shoot migrating birds. Those ones are some sort of wood pigeons going from Eastern Europe / Russia to North Africa. I did my own shooting that morning... with my camera! The sunrise was spectacular with some nice pink colours and mist in the valley.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/553248634540050801/5c3a512b-33b7-401e-aa75-0ccebc159f86.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Regional Natural Park Périgord Limousin 15 min drive \- 8.4 miles - La Lizonne 7 min drive \- 4.1 miles - Château de Villebois-Lavalette 8 min drive \- 2.8 miles - Château de la Mercerie 11 min drive \- 3.9 miles - Château de Mareuil 23 min drive \- 13.3 miles ### Getting around - Montmoreau Station 17 min drive ### Restaurants - La Lavalette 7 min drive - Restaurant la Terrasse 15 min drive - L'Inconnu de la Tour 16 min drive - Le piment rouge 14 min drive - Snack Produits Locaux 16 min drive ## Frequently asked questions ### Does The Fox House, disability access on the Dordogne/Charente border Quiet retreat have a pool? ### Is The Fox House, disability access on the Dordogne/Charente border Quiet retreat pet-friendly? ### How much is parking at The Fox House, disability access on the Dordogne/Charente border Quiet retreat ? ### What time is check-in at The Fox House, disability access on the Dordogne/Charente border Quiet retreat ? ### What time is check-out at The Fox House, disability access on the Dordogne/Charente border Quiet retreat ? ### Where is The Fox House, disability access on the Dordogne/Charente border Quiet retreat located? ## Have a question?

The cottage is just beautiful with EVERYTHING you need, it's peaceful and spacious, and thoughtfully decorated. There are lots of places to relax inside and outside with a pool that is not only fun for kids but for adults as well. The countryside is stunning with ancient villages and sunflower fields. La Maison des Renards is a refuge and it was hard to leave. ##### Sofia V.
