THE CLIMATE

The winters are mild and the summers are long! From May through to October, the Dordogne is up into the 20/30 deg C. In July and August, the temperatures are on average around 30 deg C, which is perfect. Even on warmer days, Le Fournet has two covered terraces and pool to cool off in, plus the thick stone walls mean the main house is always cool in the summer months. In summer, diriving 6 hours south from a channel ferry port to Le Fournet, the air temperature goes up by 10 deg C! Wonderful, real summers and warm nights under the stars. (No light pollution at Le Fournet!).
