General & History

This chateau lies in Southern France, in the Dordogne, near Sarlat. Set in 20 acres of arcadian grounds, it has two swimming pools, a steam room, a trampoline, a snooker table, deer, goats and donkeys! Three luxurious and elegant properties with seven, eight and two bedrooms are available for exclusive hire together for groups of up to 34.

Although mostly built in the seventeenth century, the castle dates back to the twelfth century. The castle’s tower was laid in 1155 for a family that had become allies of the French Aquitaine duchy who were unpatriotically siding with Eleanor and her English husband, Richard the Lionheart, against the French king, Louis VII. The main body of the Chateau was built at the end of the religious wars, in about 1690.
