Bergerac is served by Ryanair and flybe; Toulouse by British Airways, bmi, easyJet and Jet2; and Bordeaux by British Airways, bmibaby, Aer Lingus and easyJet. There is a railway station at nearby Marmande, and travelling by road is another easy option, as you can find the RD933 from the main road from Bordeaux to Toulouse. It may be a long journey from the UK by car, but the roads are so good that driving could be a much more pleasant and speedy experience than you may imagine.
On the edge of the Dordogne (though actually lying in the Lot-et-Garonne), and enjoying many of the features that make that department so popular with British buyers, the property for sale in and around Miramont de Guyenne may be a little less expensive than that found in the next door department. Its location between Toulouse and Bordeaux keeps prices up, though, and it is expensive if compared with regions such as the Limousin, and parts of Poitou-Charentes. There are bargains to be had, however, for those who are canny and prepared to do a bit of work. Property available at the time of writing includes a village house that needs restoration but is for sale at less than 40,000 Euros! Try finding that in the UK!
