About the home
The beautiful 6 bedroom Château de Simon dates back to 1477 and abounds with charm and character. The 15 acre estate includes beautiful wooded countryside that is inhabited by an abundance of wildlife including rare birds and families of red squirrels.
The Chateau de Simon is in a unique position on the border where the Dordogne meets the Lot et Garonne; the River Dropt, runs through the park and acts as the boundary between these departments.
Whilst idyllic in its tranquillity, Chateau de Simon is nevertheless only a few kilometres from a lovely bastide town offering all the usual facilities and just 20 mins from Bergerac.
The area is abundant in history with many castles and medieval towns - Sarlat, Montpazier and Monflanquin. Les Eyzies is famous for its cave man dwellings and paintings and of course the many vineyards such as Monbazillac, St. Emilion and Cahors.
There are man made lakes with sandy beaches for swimming and watersports, golf at Castelnaud and Chateau Devigier, horse riding, tennis and canoeing on the Dordogne. Other places to visit include the little market town of Eymet (night market on Tuesday in high summer), the pretty market town of St Foy la Grande on the banks of the River Dordogne, and both Bergerac and Périgueux for excellent French shopping.
Activities can easily be arranged: bicycle hire, horse riding, canoeing, and golf on the championship course at Château des Vigiers.

The Aquitaine / Dordogne / Lot et Garonne region
The area is abundant in history with many castles and medieval towns - Sarlat, Montpazier and Monflanquin. Les Eyzies is famous for its cave man dwellings and paintings and of course the many vineyards such as Monbazillac, St. Emilion and Cahors.
There are man made lakes with sandy beaches for swimming and watersports, golf at Castelnaud and Chateau Devigier, horse riding, tennis and canoeing on the Dordogne.
The handsome bastide town of Castillonnes is well worth a day out, for its narrow medieval lanes, church and mid-August acrobatic high-wire acts above the main square. It's 3km SE from the chateau and the nearest place for the butcher, baker and candlestick maker!
The Castillonnes, Lot et Garonne area
There are tennis courts here and a Tuesday market. Other places to visit include the little market town of Eymet (night market on Tuesday in high summer), the pretty market town of St Foy la Grande on the banks of the River Dordogne, and both Bergerac and Périgueux for excellent French shopping.
Activities can easily be arranged: bicycle hire, horse riding, canoeing, and golf on the championship course at Château des Vigiers.
