The “DOMAINE DES
FARGUES” is an XVII century farmstead on a 4-hectare land.
The domain is located in the heart of the famous black
Périgord, in Sainte Foy de Longas, between Perigueux
(flourishing and cultural municipality 30 kilometers north),
Bergerac (and its wines 22 kilometers south), Sarlat
(medieval treasure 45 kilometers east) and immediate
proximity of the Dordogne and the Vézère valleys.
In the neighbouring villages of St Alvère (4 kilometers),
Lalinde (14 kms) and Le Bugue (15 kms) you will find
supermarkets, banks, the customary shops and the weekly open
markets.
The Domain is about 600
kms of Paris, 840 kms from Brussels, including 730 kms
of toll and toll-free freeways (total toll cost for a car is
€ 26 since October 2003).
From Bordeaux, the distance is
about 120 kms and from Bergerac, 25 kms.
Thanks to
its location, settled on a dominant and privileged place,
with a preserved, peaceful and green environment, the
Domaine des Fargues offers breathtaking vistas as far as the
eye can see (up to 25 kms).
Here, you
will appreciate therestful serenity
of a sojourn out of time. It is
the ideal starting point to discover the numerous riches of
the Périgord.
We tastefully restored
the 10 Périgord style houses with their warm coloured
stones, respecting their authenticity and character
Never did we under the pretense of profitability construct
the functional, brutalize nature and violate the charm of
the area.
We aim to reach a special clientele, sensitive to the beauty of the environment, its harmony, and the physical
and spiritual respite that this place beget.
We
are at the opposite side of the de-humanizing, hectic and
stressful rhythms of modern life. Life here is intended to
correct its nefarious aspects and to bring us back softly to
its simple and true values.
