Local area description
Set amid the gently rolling hills of Lot-et-Garonne in southwestern France, Lauzun is a hidden jewel of refined rural elegance. This historic bastide village, crowned by its graceful château and framed by vineyards, orchards, and sunflower fields, offers an atmosphere of privacy, heritage, and understated sophistication.
At the heart of Lauzun stands the impressive Château de Lauzun, a striking 16th- and 17th-century residence that lends architectural grandeur to the village skyline. Its presence sets the tone for a destination rooted in history yet perfectly suited to contemporary luxury living. The village square, with its arcades and traditional stone façades, hosts artisan boutiques, refined cafés, and a celebrated weekly market showcasing organic produce, regional cheeses, and fine local wines.
The surrounding countryside is a sanctuary of natural beauty and cultivated pleasure. Rolling vineyards produce elegant Côtes de Duras wines, while nearby estates offer private tastings and curated cellar tours. Gourmet dining experiences highlight seasonal ingredients—duck confit, foie gras, truffles, and garden-fresh vegetables—paired with exceptional Bordeaux vintages. Private chefs and bespoke catering transform any stay into an epicurean retreat.
Just a short drive away, the historic town of Eymet enchants with its bastide architecture and vibrant dining scene, while the riverside charm of Bergerac offers fine restaurants, boutiques, and access to prestigious vineyards. The broader region is dotted with châteaux, golf courses, equestrian centres, and tranquil river settings ideal for scenic walks or private boat excursions.
Wellness and leisure are woven seamlessly into life here. Exclusive spa treatments, yoga retreats overlooking vineyard landscapes, cycling through sunflower-lined lanes, and hot-air balloon flights at sunrise all create an atmosphere of serene indulgence. The pace is unhurried, the air pure, and the lifestyle defined by authenticity and quiet prestige.

We are a family of five, who holiday in France (Dordogne) for many years. This is our first visit to the Lot et Garonne. We we first pulled up on the drive, we knew this was going to be a wonderful holiday home. The whole home is just beautiful from the outside to the inside. Our 16 year old immediately spotted the bedroom with the ensuite, we decided on the downstairs room with the bathroom opposite and our 13 year old twins upstairs. Everything here has had so much thought put into it. Wonderfully stocked kitchen; best we have seen! Amazing to have the table tennis, floaties for the pool, utility room tucked away, leaving us so much space. Love the decor, the little touches and the outside is just simply perfect! So many places to sit, every evening we are eating outside, places to play boules and board games and then the pool! To have the pool so close to the house and to the sitting areas is just perfect, meaning we can sit and watch or join in. The sunbeds and their cushions are very comfortable and easy to locate and put back each day

We have loved our time here and even met the neighbours when we all had a powercut one evening! Our 16 year old daughter's GCSE French came in very handy! This place is very special indeed. We have stayed in many gites in France; this is definitely up there as a favourite. The pool has been wonderful in the late 30's and we have enjoyed it late into the evening. Would we come back - yes! Would we recommend - yes! P.S. Loved the piano! Took me back to my youth!

What a wonderful stay and fantastic hosts. We loved enjoying the house and the gorgeous view. What special memories we have created for our baby's first holiday abroad. Would definitely recommend the day markets in Eymet, Chateaux de Biron, Monpazier and Issigeac. The Italian restaurant and the creperie were both delicious - huge portions. Will definitely be back to watch the night stars (shooting ones if you're lucky!) and the roe deer. Thank you for the lovely stay!

We enjoyed a wonderful week in the Farmhouse. The pool was an absolute life saver during the heat wave and we all loved the beautiful aroma of lavender. We enjoyed exploring the surrounding areas visiting the market in Issigeac on Sunday morning and the night market in Lauzun. Our two children (aged 2 and 5 years) loved visiting Chateau Bridoire. The house is so well set up and had everything that we needed. We loved our stay and hope to return one day!
