Eymet
Eymet is a commune in the Dordogne department in Nouvelle-Aquitaine in southwestern France.
It is notable as a popular location amongst English speaking immigrants, who account for ten per cent of the local population.
Geography
Eymet is situated in the Périgord region, on the river Dropt.
The Bastide was founded in 1270, by Alphonse de Poitiers, Count of Toulouse and brother of Louis IX of France. The village is situated at the extreme south of the Department of Dordogne on the CD933 between Bergerac and Marmande, around 20 kilometres (12 mi) south of Bergerac, and around 100 kilometres (62 mi) east of Bordeaux.
Popular culture
During the summer of 2011, a TV production company filmed a series of reality TV programmes describing the life of various British expatriates now living in the Dordogne, with an emphasis on Eymet. The series was first shown in autumn 2011, on Monday evenings on ITV1, as twelve 30-minute episodes under the title Little England. Although it explored much of the region, some commentators found it less than exciting. Despite that, a second series was filmed in summer 2012, mainly in the area north of the Dordogne river and shown in autumn 2012 on UK's ITV.
Dordogne
Dordogne is a large rural department in Southwestern France, with its prefecture in Périgueux. Located in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region roughly half-way between the Loire Valley and the Pyrenees, it is named after the river Dordogne, which runs through it. It corresponds roughly to the ancient county of Périgord. In January 2019, Dordogne had a population of 413,223.
History
The county of Périgord dates back to when the area was inhabited by the Gauls. It was originally home to four tribes. The name for "four tribes" in the Gaulish language was "Petrocore". The area eventually became known as the county of Le Périgord and its inhabitants became known as the Périgordins (or Périgourdins). There are four Périgords in the Dordogne.
The Petrocores took part in the resistance against Rome. Concentrated in a few major sites are the vestiges of the Gallo-Roman period-–the gigantic ruined tower and arenas in Périgueux (formerly Vesone), the Périgord museum's archaeological collections, villa remains in Montcaret, and the Roman tower of La Rigale Castle in Villetoureix. The earliest cluzeaux (artificial caves either above or below ground) can be found throughout the Dordogne. These subterranean refuges and lookout huts were large enough to shelter entire local populations. According to Julius Caesar, the Gauls took refuge in these caves during the resistance.
After Guienne province was transferred to the English Crown under the Plantagenets following the remarriage of Eleanor of Aquitaine in 1152, Périgord passed by right to English suzerainty. Being situated at the boundaries of influence of the monarchies of France and England, it oscillated between the two dynasties for more than three hundred years of struggle until the end of the Hundred Years' War in 1453. The county had been torn apart and, as a consequence, that modeled its physiognomy.
During the calmer periods of the late 15th and early 16th centuries, the Castillon plain on the banks of the Dordogne saw a development in urban architecture. The finest Gothic and Renaissance residences were built in Périgueux, Bergerac, and Sarlat. In the countryside, the nobility erected the majority of the more than 1200 chateaux, manors and country houses. In the second half of the 16th century, however, the terrors of war again visited the area, as the attacks, pillaging, and fires of the Wars of Religion reached a rare degree of violence in Périgord. At the time, Bergerac was one of the most powerful Huguenot strongholds, along with La Rochelle. Following these wars, Périgord, fief of Henry of Navarre, was to return to the Crown for good and would continue to suffer from the sudden political changes of the French nation, from the Revolution to the tragic hours of the Resistance.
We also encounter the memory of the region's most important literary figures: Arnaut Daniel, Bertran de Born, Michel de Montaigne, Étienne de La Boétie, Brantôme, Fenelon, Maine de Biran, Eugene Le Roy, and André Maurois; its great captains: Talleyrand, Saint-Exupéry, Biron; and even entertainer and activist Josephine Baker. A number of ruins (La Chapelle-Faucher, I'Herm) have retained the memory of the tragedies that took place within their walls. Several of the castles and châteaux are open to visitors; some of them, such as Bourdeilles and Mareuil, house noteworthy collections.
In addition to its castles, chateaux, churches, bastides, and cave fortresses, the Périgord region has preserved since centuries past a number of villages that still have their market halls, dovecotes, bories (stone huts)Les bories du Périgord, churches, abbeys, and castles. Saint-Léon-sur-Vézère, Connezac, Saint-Jean-de-Côle, La Roque-Gageac, and many others contain important and visually interesting architectural examples. The old quarters of Périgueux or Bergerac have been restored and developed into pedestrian areas. A number of small towns, such as Brantôme, Issigeac, Eymet and Mareuil, have withstood the changes of modern times. A special mention should be made in this respect to Sarlat and its Black Périgord area.
Dordogne is one of the original 83 departments created on 4 March 1790 during the French Revolution. It was created from the former province of Périgord, the county of Périgord. Its borders continued to change over subsequent decades.
In 1793 the communes of Boisseuilh, Coubjours, Génis, Payzac, Saint-Cyr-les-Champagnes, Saint-Mesmin, Salagnac, Savignac, Saint-Trié and Teillots were transferred from Corrèze to Dordogne.
In 1794 Dordogne ceded Cavarc to Lot-et-Garonne. Later in 1794 (albeit during the subsequent year under the Republican Calendar in use at the time), Dordogne gained Parcoul from Charente-Inférieure.
Following the restoration, in 1819, the commune of Bonrepos was suppressed and merged with the adjacent commune of Souillac in Lot.
Demographics
The population peaked at 505,789 in 1851 according to that year's census. After that the population declined to 373,000 by 1975. This reflected the long term population decline observed in many of the rural departments resulting from changes in agriculture and the lure of higher industrial wages available in more urbanized regions. Between 1975 and 2010, the population increased again, reaching 415,000.
Dordogne has a British immigrant community. The region has between 5,000 and 10,000 British residents and 800 British entrepreneurs, drawn by the French lifestyle, warm climate, and lower cost of living. The village of Eymet is at the heart of the trend, with 200 British families among 2,600 inhabitants.

Name: Exquisite Card LAUNCH OF EXQUISITE CARD DISCOUNT LOYALTY PROGRAM FOR ACCOMMODATION & CAR HIRE
As an hotelier of some 40 years standing – 22 years of which as the original owner/operator of Villa Belmonte Manor House Hotel in Cape Town, I am so very pleased and proud to introduce our new venture, namely Exquisite Card™, to you, to meet the needs of Internet-driven travellers who have the power and inclination to plan their holidays or business trips themselves and accordingly reserve flights, accommodation and car hire, etc. directly with service providers.
Exquisite Card offers discounts to this new kind of traveller through a discount card and/or voucher, which entitles the holder to +-20% discount on accommodation - as well as a variety of excellent additional special offers from time to time (including additional discounts on food and beverages) - on more than 5000 four and five star-standard hotels, boutique hotels, guesthouses, lodges and self-catering rooms in twelve African countries, and increasing in numbers and generally, a spread of properties throughout Africa and the rest of the World on a daily basis. The card or voucher is purchased through a secure e-commerce portal at www.exquisitehotelconsultants.com
At a cost of R 390 for a one-year card, R 690 for a two-year card, or R29 for a daily voucher (yes, you can be a member of Exquisite Card™ for just one night if you wish!). This is an insignificant charge compared to the savings made on just one night’s accommodation and other tourism services like car hire and spa treatments etc. Note that we are also currently negotiating with domestic and foreign airlines, restaurants, hired car groups, etc for similar discounts.
How does it work? The cardholder searches the Exquisite Card website for partnering establishments and services, then books directly, stating the card or voucher number. The hotel then charges the client an average of 20% less than the published rate. Nearly two hundred top properties have already become Exquisite Card partners. If you’re wondering, “Where’s the catch?” there quite simply isn’t one. Hotels/Guesthouses want more business, travellers want to pay less and Exquisite Card™ discounts bring the two parties together and make everybody happy! All establishments and partners of Exquisite Card are expected to meet rigorous standards, because our members expect a high level of product and service.
So, please do browse the website and become a member of Exquisite Card™ when next you travel. Should you have any queries whatsoever, please do not hesitate to contact myself at (27) (21) 84 413 1071 or via email at cliff@exquisitehotelconsultants.co.za.
