The Front Courtyard

The Aquitaine / Dordogne / Lot et Garonne region

Just a quick note to let you know how much we enjoyed our holiday. The chateau was wonderful - so well appointed and very comfortable it made the whole trip extremely relaxing. We thoroughly enjoyed playing tennis, swimming and of course playing boules!
Also enjoyed exploring the area, wine tasting and some wonderful food!!
Many thanks for creating a delightful place to stay.
Kind regards,
Susan

Thank you Erica. We found Chateau des Egrons delightful and elegant and the highlight of the three Chateaux we rented. We hope to be staying again next time we return to France.

Many thanks.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the chateau. I wish it could have been longer; I have to say it's probably my favourite visit to France .
