We're excited to announce some important changes for Gite Gare du Nord bookings in 2026.

Firstly, we have decided that guest privacy is paramount, and although we have 2 properties we will no longer book them separately, guaranteeing that guests have EXCLUSIVE use of the shared facilities, especially our beautiful large swimming pool and terrace. Our Maison can now only be booked in conjunction with La Grange, and not separately.

Secondly, in recognition of the economic squeeze felt by everyone we have adjusted all our prices to make sure we continue to offer outstanding value!

Our booking calendar is now open for 2026, and our season starts on Saturday 4th April - through to Saturday 31st October.

Located in the tiny hamlet (there are just 3 houses) of St Andrieux, Gȋtes Gare du Nord are in the idyllic wooded countryside location of the Dordogne

If you’re visiting we highly recommend a visit to - about 90 minutes drive away next to the Dordogne river itself. Apart from stunning views and a wonderful garden the story of Josephine Baker told inside the castle is highly moving and uplifting.

Another fantastic historical attraction just a short drive away

The Lascaux Cave in the Dordogne holds some of the most extraordinary prehistoric art ever discovered. The paintings, created around 17,000 years ago, include over 600 animals such as horses, bulls, and stags, all painted with incredible detail and movement.

The original cave was closed in 1963 to protect the fragile artwork from damage, but today you can visit Lascaux IV, a state-of-the-art replica that recreates the cave’s paintings and atmosphere with stunning accuracy. The technology used means you see the art almost exactly as it would appear underground, without risking the originals.

It’s worth booking tickets in advance as this is one of the Dordogne’s most popular sites. Combine your visit with nearby towns like Montignac and Sarlat for a full taste of the region’s history and food.
