The Dordogne Valley and Quercy provide a wealth of experiences, including beautiful gardens, fascinating museums, the pristine dark skies of Quercy for astronomy lovers, and stunning scenery and lighting that captivate nature photographers.
Exploring the region’s exceptional gardens is a journey and an escape all its own: after visiting the gardens of Colette near Brive, you can discover the gardens of the Manoir d’Eyrignac in Dordogne, the intricate boxwood gardens of Marqueyssac, and the enchanting water gardens of Carsac, before heading back through Meyronne and the garden of the former convent.
Enjoy unique adventures, whether traveling by traditional wooden barge on the Dordogne River or riding the historic steam locomotive known as the Truffadou on the Haut Quercy tourist railway from Martel. The region also features attractions such as Monkey Forest and the Rocher des Aigles Ecopark in Rocamadour, and the Automata Museum in Souillac with its one-of-a-kind collection.
If you’d rather stay at the Château and explore the night sky, we can arrange a stargazing workshop for you at dusk, either on the Château grounds or atop the south tower, using our telescope.
Come and let yourself be amazed.
