General & History
For groups of 8 to 15 guests we offer part of the Chateau as an exclusive six bedroom self-catering holiday accommodation. The Chateau is situated on the edge of a charming village, 5 km to the south of Chateau de Monbazillac, and the less famous but more beautiful Chateau de Bridoire. Our Chateau is only 15km from Bergerac and the Dordogne river, superbly situated to explore the countryside, wine, food and history of South West France.
The Chateau's history goes back to the 12th century when it was an ancient fortified Priory. In the middle-ages the village was fortified surrounded by ramparts. Between 1405 and 1569 Thomas the leader of the Protestants razed the village to the ground after ferocious battle, leaving only the apse of the church and the ancient fortified Priory - the chateau - in which he lodged his garrison.
Today, the ground-floor and tower, which date back to the 12th century, still exist, along the Church at the side. The upper levels of the Chateau date back to the 16th Century and it has been been fully and sympathetically restored. The Chateau has a private 9 hole golf course, with an attractive lake, set in 8 acres of undulating fairways. It is a compact par 27 approach course ideal for improving one's game or for the ambitious beginner.
