Manoir de Moncé - Self-catering in Dordogne
24110 Saint Aquilin, Dordogne
Aquitaine,
Francia
Splash in the pool, bask on the terraces, play ping-pong, croquet and boules. This enchanting building with its 14th-century tower (once a soldier outpost) is a house of wobbly roofs, characterful floorboards, and mellow stone, rose-rambled walls.
You can take the whole West Wing for up to ten, made up of the apartment, Bel Etage and the studio, and/or the South Wing for four. All come with patios or terraces; and the South Wing's, separated by a grassy courtyard, is the most secluded. Gather round a barbecue, cook in a chef-happy kitchen. You can harvest nuts, fruits and ceps in season, and stock up in St Astier’s market (10km), or Riberac’s more famous one (20km).
For brocante, head for Verteillac, 28km; its market is the first Sunday of the month. Wonderful watery Brantôme, 'Venice of Périgord', is a half-hour drive, while the Grotte de Villars, whose cave paintings are originals not replicas, is remarkable.

Local points of interest from Nikolaus von Grundherr:
Puntos de interés sobre la región de
Nikolaus von Grundherr:
- Culinary: Don’t miss the local markets, they are a treasure of great products and atmosphere.You are welcome to search for ceps in the oak woods of Moncé, collect wallnuts and sweet chestnuts (Marons) as well as harvest ripe fruits and grapes in the garden
- Nature: Donkey Valentine, Horse Felicia, our four legged guests graze in the southern part of the gardens and love to be fed on carrots. Birdlovers experience an amazing natural spectacle in spring/early summer. Stars: Starwatchers will stay up all night
- Culture: From end of June until beginning of September every Friday Open-Air Blues and Culture Jazzevenings in the nearby village of Douchapt. Dancing after sunset - very french ! Visit the Brocante Markets especially Verteillac - first Sunday each month.
- Excursions/Attractions: Less noted than newly opened Lascaux 4 but almost as impressive (and very near) are the Grotte de Villars near Brantome. Once on your way to Brantome we strongly recommend to visit the Castles of Bourdeilles and Puyguilhem.
- Outstanding: An impressive jewel is the beautiful village of Aubeterre s. Dronne with the Rock Church St.Jean from 8th century being the largest monolithic church in Europe; do not miss Saint-Jean-de-Côle rated as one of the prettiest villages in France.
- Farming: Our tenant grows organic crops on the land of Moncé - no pesticides nor artificial fertilizers are used. You are staying in an ecological intact environment and will see animals, insects and plants which you might not have seen nor heard before.
