Location |
Located in a beautiful part of the northern Dordogne, this spectacular Château dates back to the 9th and 12th centuries. The closest shops (bakery, small supermarket) are in the small village of Augignac (3km) while the larger village of Nontron with its Saturday market and many shops is 9km away. The closest supermarket is at Piégut (6km). There is an array of interesting places and activities in the area: Le Roc Branlant at St-Estèphe (5km), the caves at Villars (23km) with their prehistoric paintings, the lovely village of St-Jean-de-Côle (32km), the truffle museum at Sorges (48km), the superb château of Puyguilhem (23km), and many churches and châteaux. A little further afield are the picturesque towns of Brantôme, the Venice of Périgord (30km) and the medieval fortress and Renaissance château at Bourdeilles (38km). Both Limoges and Angoûlème are about an hour's drive away.
Horse riding is possible at St-Estèphe and bike hire at Piégut. There are many leisure lakes in the area where swimming is possible. There are beaches at the lakes of St-Estèphe, St-Saud-Lacoussière (13km) and St-Mathieu (18km). Pedaloes can be rented at St-Estèphe, and canoes can be hired at Brantôme and Bourdeilles. There are a 9 and 18 hole golf course at Ecuras (21km).
