This château is a luxury 18th-century residence built around the time of the French Revolution. Sitting in a magnificent spot, with views over the Dordogne valley, its brickwork is the classical limestone slabs, or lauze, with stone roof tiles.
The château isn't open to the public, but your real reason for visiting here is its incredible gardens. It has been designed to walk around, with extensive pathways over six kilometres in length, pretty staircases, rock benches and a rotunda. At a height of 130 metres above the river, the Belvedere balcony offers an exceptional panorama. For those with a head for heights, try the via ferrata where you climb around the sheer face of the rock with a vertical drop below.
Deliciously shaded and dominated by a panoramic view of the valley, you will find the castle arbour, the ideal place to come for refreshment while visiting the park. In the tea-room you will find light meals are available, prepared by the chef from “the Relais des 5 châteaux” in Vézac. The charm, the style and the friendliness of the welcome are exceptional. This is a popular place for many people from the Périgord are to come and meet and chat.
