Les Roues Vertes is situated on the edge of this medieval town. We are within easy walking distance of the town and all its' amenities including good restaurants serving high quality french cuisine. There are ample bars & pavement cafes for relaxing drinks and snacks. Supermarkets, boulangeries, charcuteries, antique shops and even a Limoges porcelaine outlet open to the public. There is a weekly market in the Town square.
The town is steeped in history, according to legend the cultural capital of the Basse Marche owes its' name to the guilded angel perched on the summit of the collegiale "Lou Dora" bell tower. Throughout history the Town has lived through troubled times: besieged by the Black Prince (the Prince of Wales) in 1356, the Town was also badly damaged during the war of the religions.
Le Dorat was a Town of nobility and property owners. A small detour down a narrow street will show you the old houses and estates full of character. A fortified Town in the past, Le Dorat still has its' 15th century shepherds gate. It's the only one in the region and probably owes its' name to the fact that shepherds used it.
