Eymet is a pretty bastide town in the south-east of the Dordogne department, with a good number of ancient houses and monuments to remind us of its history. It is an attractive and unspoiled town with a thriving central square, and it is in a pretty location on the banks of the Dropt river - it was the transport links along the Dropt that originally enabled Eymet to flourish.
First you will want to spend time simply exploring the village centre, with the straight streets lined with medieval houses in stone and colombage. Some of the houses bear fascinating ancient carvings and engravings.
Many of the houses in the central square, called the Place Gambetta, still have the medieval arcades at ground floor level that once provided shelter to the market traders. These arcades are very well preserved here, among the best of the bastides in the region.
There is a large stone fountain in the centre of the square.
Miramont de Guyenne to the south is a market town with all amenities including bars and restaurants, Supermarkets
