Home description
The property is not easily described as it is so immense! The private land spans over 320 hectares of forests and agricultural fields. The river Vézère winds for 4 kms through the domain (fishing is permitted) and the prehistoric and troglodytic dwellings in the cliff faces over-hanging the river form part of the spectacular view from the property. Guests wishing to visit these sites of immense interest - dating from several thousand years BC to the middle ages and later - may enjoy guided visits of the site ‘La Madeleine’, a couple of kilometres from the property.

The Aquitaine / Dordogne / Dordogne region
The Dordogne, or the Périgord as it is known by the French, is one of the most beautiful regions in France. The Périgord Noir, which derives its name from the black truffles found here and its walnuts, is to be found in the triangle of Sarlat, Domme and Les Eyzies, cut through by the Dordogne and Vézère rivers. The Périgord Noir is a stunning mixture of prehistoric caves hidden in tree-covered valleys and medieval castles dating from the 100 years war. You cannot fail to be impressed by the number and variety of castles that there are to visit, as well as the multitude of cavemen dwellings and underground sites.
The Périgord Noir is also famous for its cuisine. You can expect some form of duck on every menu, either the famous duck or goose liver (foie gras) or “confit de canard” or the lighter “magret de canard”. You should try the truffles, whose farming grounds are kept a very close secret by the truffle hunters, and also the cèpes, a very tasty form of mushroom. And to accompany it all, wine from the nearby Bordeaux or Bergerac regions, preceded by a walnut wine to get the juices flowing. Don’t expect to go home lighter than when you set off…
