We had a dream vacation!! no other way to express it.
The 2 weeks were undoubtedly magical. The pictures are so beautiful. We will always think of La Guerinche and Thiviers with the fondest memories.
Thank you for allowing our group the pleasure of staying at your wonderful Chateau we had a brilliant week, Patricia was very helpful and Elizabeth provided 3 wonderful meals, magical is the only way to describe it.
The nearest airports are Limoges (60km) and Bergerac (70km) and the nearest town is Thiviers 1km away. Thiviers is a sizeable traditional market town. It has three supermarkets plus a good range of shops, bars and a great market in the square wednesdays and Saturdays.
The N21 runs between Limoges and Perigeux 20 mins south of Thiviers. This is at the centre of the Truffle and Fois Gras region of France at the northern end of the Dordogne. The Chateau is found due East of the Bordeaux Vineyards (45 mins to St.Emillion), North of the Bergerac Wine area and south of the Loire. This is the perfect country for a food and wine tour. The Castles of the Dordogne and fantastic Grottos of Villars are all also in close proximity.
Popular local activities include tennis, golf, canoeing, cycling, walking, bird watching and nature trails. A beautiful horse race track can be found at the Pompadour just 40 mins to the East. Throughout the spring and early summer months National hunt, eventing and dressage events take place.
