The Gîte du Château de Durfort

It's a rare place, a real "green paradise". An authentic 15th century castle, in the heart of a hundred hectares of wild woods. Shaded paths that lead to the edge of the Dordogne… birds, foxes, hares, deer, roe deer for passing companions… The site is beautiful, timeless, away from the crowd and noise.

Shaded paths that lead to the edge of the Dordogne… birds, foxes, hares, deer, deer for passing companions… The site is beautiful, timeless, away from the crowd and noise.
