SIGHTSEEING & DAYS OUT 
 
The tourist office in Verteillac is worth a visit, but here are a few ideas and suggestions from Les Garennes: 
 
The Perigord is an area steeped in history and here at Les Garennes you are right in the heart of it. From the pre-historic cave drawings at Brantome, to Gallo-Roman villas, and chateaux, there is plenty to see and do in this region. 
 
Brantome, known as the Venice of France is 25 minutes away and well worth a visit. There’s a great choice of eateries and the town offers an alternative shopping experience. The working glass blowers shop has demonstrations, and there are a host of interesting and rather quaint shops and galleries – you may well find something different as a souvenir of your stay.
