Description
This large and noble family Château Français, listed and protected in its entirety as well as its grounds under the Historic Monuments of France can accommodate up to 20 people very comfortably.
The chateau is ideally located 11 kilometres from Bergerac and allows easy access to the Dordogne main touristic attractions. Raised on a rock base overlooking the Caudeau valley and surrounded by a 15 ha estate, the Château Français is partially surrounded by broad water ditches. A drawbridge gives access to it. The fortress walls from XIIth and XIIIth centuries overhang the troglodytic habitats from the Vth century, and protect the buildings built successively from XIVth to XVIIIth century and deployed around the main courtyard.
The stables with their beautiful mansard roof date from the XVIIth century, the pigeon tower is from the XVIIIth century. The Château was entirely restored and offers modern comfort within an exceptional and authentic setting furnished with many family antiques. The grounds include a 15m x 6m swimming pool set on a terrace dominating the site.
3 hours of cleaning service per day except Sunday – the service can be complemented and adapted on request.

Wedding & Reception at Château Francais
Château Francais offers an exceptional setting for weddings and events. The total number in residence remains limited to 20, however all events can be set outside in the « cour d’honneur » and in the upper courtyard where 100 to 200 people can fit easily, while dinner can be served under marquees in the upper courtyard for 80 to 100 guests. A dance floor can be installed as well under the marquees.
Starting mid-2016, the 18th century vaulted « grandes cuisines » will be as well in the château basements for your events.
Please note that for all events requiring marquees and special arrangement, we require the services of a wedding planner to coordinate all details. Some British wedding planners who live in the area know Château Francaisvery well and we can establish contact on request.
