La Chartreuse is located in one of the most beautiful regions of France, famous for its stunning landscapes, gastronomic excellence, world renowned wine, medieval cultural heritage sites, remarkable architecture, and breathtaking bastide towns and villages.
Whether you wish to get out and see the sites, sample the exquisite cuisine and wine, go and find some adventure in the woods, rivers, or rolling hills, play golf on the immaculate grounds of a 16th century Chateau, or simply rest, enjoy a spa, and take in the beautiful countryside, the Dordogne has it all to offer.
The Dordogne-Perigord authorities are a great source of information, which we are more than happy to complement with some local knowledge and connections.
Eymet is a true local hotspot, known for its vibrant lifestyle, restaurants, and bars. The town is something of an anomaly with a sizeable international community including British, Americans, Canadians, Dutch, South Africans, New Zealanders, Australians, Peruvians, Belgiums and others.
Eymet has many B&Bs and gites useful for wedding guests and a wealth of glorious events throughout the holiday season. The markets and night markets in Eymet are some of the best in the region, and the local cricket club and rugby club are always happy to have extra supporters come to watch them win!
A small commune with a lot going on. Within minutes you will find the prestigious Chateau des Vigiers (including a top of the range spa, Le Bistro restaurant, the Michelin starred Les Fresques restaurant, a pristine 27 hole golf course, and a 4 star hotel). Also in the area is the fantastic Famille Moutier restaurant that serves quality seven course French cuisine accompanied by some great local wines. In Thenac itself you will find the Chateau de Thenac, which is a great spot for some wine tasting with local sommeliers. There is also Villages du Pruniers, one of the biggest Buddhist retreats in Europe. And finally, just a 15 minute drive from La Chartreuse there is the buzzing Chateau de Bridoire, which offers superb family fun including a corn maze and medieval games
Overlooking the Dordogne valley, 10 minutes from Bergerac, the Château de Monbazillac estate invites you to explore its new tour route. It looks at both the fine wines of Monbazillac and the history of the chateau in its Périgord context.
This 16th-century chateau, a designated historical monument, combines its presentation of the past with a touch of the future via new technologies. The tour has become dynamic, collaborative, immersive and fun thanks to videos, audio, light shows, puzzles, mapping and animations.
Known for its old town’s half-timbered buildings and the castles that dot the surrounding countryside. In the town, the Maison des Vins showcases the region’s wine. It’s housed in the Cloître des Récollets, a 17th-century cloister. Nearby, the Musée de Tabac documents the history of tobacco. Traditional barges cruise the Dordogne River, which runs through the city.
