Immediate Vicinity

The hamlet Caplong is little more than a few houses and a church, and is actually about 2km away from La Matha.  About 7km to the west is the village of Pellegrue. This has a charming covered market space and where you will also find a patisserie/boulangerie, supermarket, pharmacy and a bank with cashpoint facilities.  There is also a bar with a restaurant attached which is open at lunchtimes on weekdays - set menu, and excellent value.

Gensac is a small village a similar distance away as Pellegrue.  This beautiful village has recently had it's centre refurbished, and is a very pleasant place to visit.  There is an old Spar supermarket, which unusually stays open until 12.45 in the mornings.  There is also a boulangerie and two butchers.  The Café de la Paix is has stunning views out of the back over the valley, and serves a very large croque-monsieur and chips at lunch time!

Tom's Guides

A colleague of mine, whose parents live in the local area, has started to produce some guides that are personal in nature, but make quite good reading.
