Château La Carrière - Self-catering in Dordogne
Chateau La Carriere, 24220 Saint-Cyprien, Dordogne
Aquitaine,
Francia
Towers with limestone roofs, turret stairs and a charming pigeonnier: this seventeenth-century château oozes character. Sink into sofas on an autumn night, roast foraged chestnuts in a huge stone hearth. In summer, dine on the sumptuous terrace...the views of the valley are mesmerising.
Traditional charm on the outside and modern comfort within: find gorgeous gilded mirrors on bare stone walls, a fancy hot tub, a gym, cinema and a plush bar. Play ping-pong, volley ball and archery, unwind by the pool, or row on the lake between four islands.
The owners can arrange whatever you desire, from massages and cooking classes on site to hot-air-balloon rides nearby. Nature lovers enjoy the woodland walks around the château, while foodies love the local Sunday-morning market. You can cycle to nearby Meyrals for croissants, or pop into Saint-Cyprien for local craft shops.

Local points of interest from Tanya & Adriaan:
Puntos de interés sobre la región de
Tanya & Adriaan:
- Château La Carrière is located in the heart of the Périgord Noir in the Dordogne, one of the most celebrated areas in France, known for its lush landscape, stunning chateaux, beautiful medieval villages, pre-historic caves and rich food culture.
- It is said that there are 1,001 chateaux in the Dordogne. Some of the most famous are less than a 20-minute drive away: Beynac (perched on a rock), Castelnaud (awesome fortress), Milandes (former home of Josephine Baker) and Commarque (fairy-tale ruin).
- Some of the most beautiful towns and villages in France are on our doorstep: Sarlat (14th-century town centre), Beynac (known for its impressive castle), La Roque-Cageac (built against a rock), Domme (great views) and Saint-Léon-sur-Vézère (very pretty).
- Château La Carrière is very close to a number of world famous caves with pre-historic wall paintings. The most renowned is Lascaux, but some less famous ones, such as Font-de-Gaume, Bara-Bahau and Grotte du Sorcier, are awe-inspiring as well.
- Food is a very important part of life in the Périgord Noir. Our village, Saint-Cyprien, has a particularly lively market on Sunday morning. And, if you like wine, we highly recommend going to our neighbour, a well-known organic wine maker.
- Finally, if you like walking or mountain biking, come to the Dordogne, where you find endless forest trails. Two of them even start right at Château La Carrière. Just watch out for all the wildlife!
