château de Langoiran (castle of Langoiran)
The seigneurial domain of Langoiran used to be one of the most prestigious and powerful elements in the duchy of Aquitaine. It was involved in the fights between the kings of France and the kings of England during the 100 years war.
Built by the Escoussan family, the Langoiran Castle was one of the most prestigious sites in the region.
In the centre of the struggles between the Kings of England and France, the castle became the property of the french Royal Family at the end of the 15th century, after which the presidents of the Bordeaux Parliament lived there from the end of the 16th century to the middle of the 17th.

Le château romantique de Jumilhac en périgord (Notrebellefrance)
Le château (XIII-XVIIème siècle), classé monument historique, est l’âme du village car il fut protégé de la Révolution par les habitants du bourg. Uniques en France, ses toitures féeriques ornées de faîtières aux allégories seigneuriales et alchimiques inspirèrent le graveur Gustave Doré qui les qualifia comme étant les plus romantiques de France.
Dressé sur un éperon rocheux il domine la haute vallée de l’Isle. Nous vous invitons à venir découvrir ses salles aux boiseries et meubles d’époque, ses toiles peintes (scènes de chasse…), sa fameuse batterie de cuisine en cuivre, sa légende de « la fileuse » et à vous délasser en visitant ses jardins en terrasse rénovés sur des thèmes liés à l’histoire du château : l’Or et l’alchimie.

The Lot-et-Garonne is an area of hills and valleys with a patchwork of fruit orchard market garden farms and fields of summer corn and sunflowers dotted with ancient hilltop villages. Villeneuve-sur-Lot was founded in 1253 and the Pont Vieux, the towns main bridge across the river, dates from about that time and is still used today. Villeneuve was also a major stopping place along the old pilgrim route to Santiago de Compostela in Spain.
Poujols stands on a hilltop, 2 kms southwest of Villeneuve, and a pleasant walk from the Porte de Pujols. The pretty, medieval village attracts many antique lovers and has a number of shops and art galleries in its lovely, restored half-timbered houses. There are two very good restaurants in the village and a Michelin starred restaurant across the valley from the village.
Penne dAgenais is 8 kms upriver from Villeneuve and another picturesque, hilltop village with a warren of tiny, steep lanes, lined with immaculately tidy stone and brick houses. Alphonse de Poitiers, the indefatigable brother of King Louis IX, founded Monflanquin, a beautifully preserved hilltop bastide and one of the finest examples of its kind, in 1256. Villereal is an unspoiled bastide town near the River Dropt, 13 kms north of Monflanquin. The Place de la Halle, the large, main central square, has a fine 14th century timbered covered market, overlooked by an impressive, twin-towered 13th century church.
The vineyards of Buzet, Duras and Bergerac are all within an hours drive. The Bordeaux vineyards, including Saint Emilion (a must) and Cahors are about 90 minutes.
