HISTORY
Situated in the lush and stunning Perigord Vert, land of truffles and foie gras in South West France the Chateau was originally the home of barons (with our own coat of arms) the castle was built on an ancient base from the 1400s. The estate was then transformed by a quirky 1800s French Artisan, renown for his religious art (he has streets named after him for it) and penchant for all things English. He and his eclectic heirs, such as his ghostly white daughter Blanche, left their workshop, two chapels, and an indelible footprint on the property - transforming it from a hunting lodge to a towering gothic tribute that stands in superb condition to this day. The chateau was more recently a summer resort for French Ministers' families before being sold as a 13-hectare private estate.
After three years of renovations we believe that the Chateau and Estate could be the ideal venue for your very special event - We pride ourselves on being a little different and love to share our home for such special occasions.
