Château le Bout is set by the village of Léguillac de l'Auche and only 6 kms from the busy market town of Saint-Astier and its historic church. We are centrally situated in the heart of the Perigord enabling visitors to enjoy all aspects of the Dordogne.

The Château le Bout is also perfectly situated for visiting the wine regions; Bergerac is 60km away, and Saint Emilion 80km away. And finally, if the desire takes you, the Atlantic Coast is close enough to take a day out by the sea (only 1.5 hours drive along the motorway).

This is a self catered venue, however, baby sitting, tennis lessons and catering are all available. The owners would like to invite you for a welcome drink when you arrive where they will go through the rental and the rich history of the castle. Long lets (2 weeks or more) are welcomed with a delightful basket of local treats.

Really enjoyed spending my 30th birthday here with friends - weather not great but we still had a good timeand found plenty to do. Thursday market in St Astier was very nice, also many thanks to Suzanne for recommending La Palombiere restaurant in St Astier - the food and wine were excellent. Fantastic surroundings, lovely chateau and wine in the fridge - being 30 isn't so bad after all!

It has been wonderful time! Although the weather was not all the time as good as we hoped for our children did use the swimming pool, the tennis court and even the dogs (well, in fact one of them always came to play with them)! What a joy! We loved the quietness of the environment, the ancient cities and most of all the kindness of the people. Especially Nathalie & Christelle! They really helped us out in times of need! Hopefully we will be able to be back some time.
