Galette des Rois - King Cake & Ephiphany

There are two delicious varities that fill the shelves in boulangeries at this time of year and especially today, Ephiphany: brioche topped with glacé fruit, or, our favourite puff pastry filled with frangipan (almond flavoured filling).

Traditionally it is served with either cider or champagne.

A marvellous dessert as traditionally a little figurines or 'fèves' is hidden in the almond cream; whoever finds it will become the King or Queen for the day, and everyone else must obey their every whim!

At French Farmhouse Retreat -Chant Oiseau we are blessed to have a wonderful patisserie in the village of Mialet, located a short distance from us where the whole family can choose a delicious sweet treat to enjoy.

🇨🇵Au French Farmhouse Retreat - Chant Oiseau, nous offrons le mélange parfait de tranquillité et de journées passionnantes pour toute la famille.

Si vous parvenez à vous arracher à la piscine privée et aux longues journées de farniente sous le soleil de la Dordogne, Bourdeilles est un charmant village situé au bord de la rivière Dronne et possède un château, un moulin, un centre médiéval et un point de vue panoramique.

En vous promenant dans le village, vous découvrirez de nombreux endroits attrayants et un certain nombre de beaux manoirs. Il y a un point de vue au sommet du village qui vous offre une belle vue sur le village et la rivière en contrebas. Au bord de la rivière se trouve un joli pont en pierre qui a été construit au 14ème siècle mais qui a dû être reconstruit au 18ème siècle à la suite de graves inondations.

Aux abords du village se trouvent de nombreux abris dans les falaises rocheuses surplombant la route qui mène à Brântome. Ceux-ci s'appellent le Fourneau du Diable et sont des abris préhistoriques.

At French Farmhouse Retreat - Chant Oiseau we offer the perfect blend of tranquility and exciting days out for all the family.

If you can tear yourself away from the private pool and long lazy days under the Dordogne sunshine,
Bourdeilles is a lovely village which sits on the edge of the river Dronne and boasts a château, a moulin (mill), a medieval centre and a panoramic viewpoint.

Wandering around the village there are lots of attractive spots and a number of fine manor houses. There is a viewpoint at the top of the village which gives you a lovely view of the village and river below. Down by the river there is an attractive stone bridge which was originally built in the 14th century but had to be rebuilt in the 18th century following severe floods.

On the edge of the village there are a number of shelters in the rocky cliffs overhanging the road which leads out to Brântome. These are called the Fourneau du Diable and are prehistoric shelters. There are several on the edge of the village.

Explore, gently paddle a canoe through the village, pic nic at the foot of the château, enjoy lunch or an apéro in the heart of the village.

French Farmhouse Retreat -Chant Oiseau offers 4 bedrooms, 3 doubles and a twin bedded room. Located in the northern Dordogne, Mialet village is just a short distance from us where you will find a boulangerie, butchers, restaurant and convenience store.
