The village, dating back 1,000 years, is the strawberry capital of France and celebrates with a strawberry festival every May. The village is quite sought after and has really local ameinities. One of the main assets Vergt has, is that it is a typically French working village, with everything open 12 months a year.

During the summer there are night markets till late, with live music and dancing and even a lake nearby (3km) with fishing, swimming and small sandy beach.
The gem of a property is called The Convent and is situated in a great location just above the village, it is private but not remote. Overlooking the valley and village below. The current owners have renovated the property from top to bottom. Their renovation project took approximately three years in total, one year for planning, 10 months for the main building work and another year for decorating and finishing.
