Le Pavillon
The 17th century Château Monferrier was reputedly a hunting lodge of Louis XIII. It is situated on a hill in 23 hectares of beautiful woodland and fields and approached by a long avenue of chestnut trees.
Le Pavillon is a self-contained cottage standing in the south east corner of the courtyard of the château. It has been completely restored by its English owners who live in the château and is very comfortably furnished. Guests have the use of the huge swimming pool immediately in front of the château and a new tennis court in the grounds.
The luxurious facilities and spectacular setting of this unique property make a holiday at Le Pavillon very special.

The surrounding area.
Founded over two thousand years ago, Périgueux, préfecture or capital city of the Dordogne, is a gracious blend of ancient and modern. It is useful as a base from which to explore the Périgord Blanc area, so-called because of the bright white limestone used in so much of the architecture.
Périgueux really comes to life on Wednesday and Saturday mornings when there is a fois gras and truffle market on place St-Louis in Puy St-Front (November to March) and a food market near the cathedral on place de la Clautre. The best medieval street is the rue Limogeanne, where rows of restored Renaissance houses are now used as boutiques, which leads to the Musée du Périgord, one of the best prehistory museums in France with Gallo-Roman mosaics, portraits of the twelve Caesars and other such artefacts.
Rouffignac (8km SE) is one of the longest and most ramifide caves with palaeolithic paintings. An immense cave that you can explore from the comfort of an electric train...
