A LITTLE CHÂTEAU HISTORY…
The Château is an exceptional example of a Château fort, originally a location of regional government in the medieval period. In the 17th century, it was converted to a luxurious country house and recreational space for the locals to come and enjoy. Its commanding location features stunning views over the Célé valley.
The Château is 9km by road from the medieval town of Figeac, which boasts numerous shops, cafés, bars, restaurants, and even a lake and water park.
The area is replete with medieval hilltop towns and villages — St. Cirq Lapopie and Rocamadour are both a short drive away. It is on the edge of the Park Naturel Régional des Causses du Quercy, an area of unspoiled natural beauty with archeological sites dating back to the neolithic era. A branch of the Camino de Santiago, the UNESCO World Heritage listed ancient pilgrimage route, running to Santiago de Compostela in Spain, goes directly past the Château.
The nearest International Airports are Rodez (1 hour by car), Brive Souillac (1 hour 15 minutes) and Toulouse Blagnac (2 hours). There is also a smaller aerodrome (Figeac-Livernon) 20 minutes' drive away, suitable for light aircraft.
