    • Located in Saint-Crépin-et-Carlucet, a few minutes from Sarlat-la-Canéda, very close to the Gardens of the Manoir d'Eyrignac, you will discover the Château de Lacypierre, built between the 15th and 17th centuries, on a 13th century stump.

      The building, constructed on either side of a hexagonal tower, has a square tower housing a dovecote and a slate roof.

      Let Isabelle and Florence, the owners, tell you the story of the Bénié de Lacypierre family and the story of the restoration of the castle by their parents.

      Discover also refined and warm interiors: antique furniture, art objects, a collection of antique earthenware, as well as attics with slate roofs.

    We stayed for three days in this superb place and experienced a truly unique moment, surrounded by a subtly crafted setting steeped in history. An experience to be repeated. Thank you to Florence and Isabelle for their warm welcome.

    We visited and the sign said it was open for tours, but during the thirty minutes we were there, no one appeared for a tour. It is a small manor house, not a castle. It is lovely. There are very...
