Grande Auque,(13th c.Hamlet)
About the home
A 13th century Hamlet comprising of four principle properties:The Chateau. An Manoir. Watermill and a cottage. All four properties are fully modernised and fully fitted so each party group can be independent. There are facilities for everybody to eat together: inside in one of the manoirs with there large stone fire-places and oak beams or outside under large canvas parasols,overlooking the secluded gardens and pool. The dining kitchen area is area is approx 60sq meters i.e. it can seat a large number of people. We have tables and seating for 40 people. (we have had 80).
Originally built by English soldiers in the 13th century, this unique and distinctive hamlet is the perfect place to relax or to celebrate in private and unspoiled setting. To the rear of the property is a bridle way, which meanders through meadows and woods to the village of Lauzun About a Mile up the road is the pretty Hill top village of Lalandusse, which still has a bar-restaurant. There is a new super market 10 mins away and a variety of local vine-yards about 3 mins away.

The Aquitaine / Dordogne / Lot et Garonne region


Nestled between the Bastide towns of Eymet and Castillonnes, Lalandusse is on the borders of the Dordogne and Lot et Garonne set in the midle of the medieval Bastide towns of Eymet, Castillonnes and Issegac.
To the north is the Fairy tale castle of Monbazillac overlooking Bergerac, famous for its cuisine and wine, as appreciated by 'Cyrano de Bergerac'.
The Castillonnes, Lot et Garonne area
The property is secluded in its own grounds with a 3 metre high hedge. Surrounded by farms and vineyards,but only 10 min to the local supermarket. There are no direct neighbours, the local village with its own bar / restaurant is set on a hill about 1 mile up the road.
We are in the middle of the historic and beautiful Bastide county, with fortified towns and castles. The country side is a little like Devon except the main crops are sunflowers, walnuts,plum orchards and tobacco. All local towns have market days, and most have some special events throughout the summer, we supply books with all local events and activities from 'Parc en ciel' (Adventure park in the trees) to Castles and canoeing.
