Le Chatenet 1689 - Bed & Breakfast in Dordogne
620 Chemin du Chatenet, 24310 Brantôme en Périgord, Dordogne
Aquitaine,
Francia
Layers of history are here. Brantôme has been home to man since prehistoric times; the grand Benedictine abbey, carved out at the bottom of the cliffs, overlooks the ribbon of the river Dronne that slowly rings the town. Just up the road, a perfect distance from the hustle and bustle, is Le Chatenet, a Périgord-style stone house built at the end of the 17th century. Anne and William are super hosts, Anne will show you the sundial they found under the roof marked 1688, William will point the way to the hidden canopy of trees over a path which leads to the centre of town, the abbey and it's historic caves in a ten-minute stroll. Brantôme's bell tower is thought to be the oldest in France; they say it must be seen from the inside. There are big bedrooms with stunning fabric on the walls, billiards in the games room, rivers to be canoed and grottoes to be explored. There is even a farm down the street with rabbits, chickens and cows, source of your breakfast eggs and milk. Add an extra day, you won't regret it.
