About the home

The magnificent Chateau de Sioraque, in a dominant position overlooking the Isle river valley, dates back to 1550. The Chateau de Sioraque is set in its own 40 acres of grounds and offers six bedrooms and six bathrooms, all luxuriously decorated, and an alarmed private swimming pool.

Inside the Chateau de Sioraque you will enjoy the craftsmanship of those who built it. A monumental fireplace dating back to the 17th century dominates the dining room; ancient wood panelling covers the living room, the entry hall and the dining room, and the wallpaper carrying the initials of the Beupoil family still elegantly adorns the living room. The house features huge exposed oak beams covered in intricate plaster work, mosaics, delightful parquets, 5m (15ft) ceilings, fireplaces, and stone walls and floors; an ancient theme that has only improved in appearance with time.

Between the towns of "La Roche" and "Gravelle" lies the village where the Chateau de Sioraque is situated. On top of a hill next to a beautiful park, one can oversee the village, the river Isle, and the foliage of Antoniac from the terrace. The village was previously owned by the Chateau, hence the similar building construction. The farmers used to be given dwelling and food in exchange for their labour.

The Perigueux area

Places to Visit - Perigueux: The capital of the Dordogne and one of the largest Medieval-Renaissance towns in France. You can visit the ancient walled town of Vesunna, a Roman site which dates back over 2000 years. The cathedral of Saint Front is the largest church in the south west and one of the stops on the pilgrimage route to Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle (in town the route is marked by golden clam shells and is also the same route that runs in front of Chateau de Siorac). There are plenty of shops and restaurants, four museums (Le Musee du Périgord at Allee Tourny, Le Mussee Gallo-romaine, Le Musee Militaire, Le Musee Atelier du Trompe l’Oeil). There's also a theatre, cinema, market, shops, boat trips, etc.

- Saint Astier: At the centre of town you’ll find the church from the XI and XV centuries, one of the pilgrimage stops of the Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle road.

- Brantome: A picturesque small town on an island, hence known as the Venice of the Dordogne. The Carolingian abbey has the oldest bell tower in France. You can sign up for a canoe or boat rides. There are plenty of shops and restaurants.

- Bergerac: Founded on the banks of the Dordogne, the town has preserved the evidence of the XIV century when its role as supplier of wine to the English kingdom established its importance and wealth. Some medieval houses, barely altered, can be seen in the centre. With over 100 vineyards open to the public you will have much to choose from for those wishing to wine taste. For white sweet wines visit Monbazillac.

- Sarlat: A medieval town where one can feel transported back in time. It’s the home town of the "Festival des Jeux du Theatre" and of the film festival "Cinephile". It gathers all types of artists, musicians, sculptors, painters, etc. The Sarlat market is also well known in the region.

- Domme: A fortress founded in 1281 by the French king Philippe III as a front against the English. At the bastide you can see the graffiti left on the walls by prisoners during the Hundred Years War.

- Rocamadour: A breathtaking site cascading down the side of a mountain. It paid homage to the pilgrimage in the Middle Ages. Absolutely a must!

- The River Dordogne cuts across the southern part of the Dordogn; from Montcaret to Cazoules it goes through many picturesque towns such as Bergerac, Lalinde, Le Buisson de Cadouin, and Domme. The views along the river are breathtaking and a boat trip is well worth it. Try exploring some of its villages; they all have their own personal charm.
