Le relais de la Jemaye

Reconnect with Nature

An Unforgettable Getaway at La Jemaye, Dordogne

Nestled beside the Grand Étang de la Jemaye, in the heart of the Dordogne, our retreat is an invitation to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with what truly matters.

Surrounded by forest, water, and open countryside, this is a place where time seems to stretch. Spend your days enjoying peaceful walks, relaxing on the white-sand beach, swimming in the lake, fishing, or simply taking in the beauty of this exceptional protected natural site.

Just a short walk away, you’ll find two charming guinguettes and two local restaurants, perfect for enjoying regional flavours in a relaxed, authentic atmosphere.

Discover the Dordogne at Your Own Pace

Our location is ideal for exploring some of the most beautiful and unspoiled parts of the region.

Visit the Ferme de Parcot, a remarkable example of traditional Double architecture, and explore the preserved landscapes of La Jemaye. Wander through picturesque villages such as Aubeterre-sur-Dronne, Saint-Astier, and Ribérac, well known for its lively weekly market filled with local produce.

Nature lovers will fall in love with the La Double Forest, an enchanting expanse of oak and pine woodland, scattered with tranquil lakes and endless walking and riding trails.

Wake each morning to birdsong and enjoy the calm of our little corner of paradise.
