Chateau Rochette France

Chateau Rochette stands majestically looking down across a valley once lorded over by this 12th century Baronnie. The chateau was both witness and party to the Hundred Years War, now a sleeping giant of peace and tranquility.
Chateau Rochette  has been meticulously restored with an eye towards preserving her original personality and character. Modern comforts and amenities have been subtly woven into her fabric allowing the original Chateau to remain at center stage. Chateau Rochette is the perfect place for couples, families, and friends to come, relax, adventure and just be. We love Chateau Madame and it is our pleasure to share her with like minded travelers.
Chateau Rochette is central to and minutes away from all the remarkable places and adventures we come to the Dordogne and the Perigord Noir for. Exploring the magnificent landscape and medieval surroundings will transport you to a another century. Chateau Rochette is minutes away from such places as Castelnaud, Beynac – the stronghold of Richard the Lion heart, The ancient town of Sarlat, Domme and a seemingly unending list of places and remarkable experiences.
A wonderful area for exploring off the beaten path where other don’t go. – You can find the untouched and original French countryside, farms, and amazing diversity of architecture.- A canoe or kayak voyage down the Dordogne with a sandwich at hand is a day to remember.- Very early mornings watching the mist burn off the hills and valley with a cup of hot coffee. – Speaking or struggling with your French at the local village markets and meeting the lovely people who live here. – Get everywhere before the others. – Take a simple walk in a forest that attracts you along the roadside for just fifteen minutes- you’ll be surprised. – Keep bathing suits and a towel in the car at all times. – Find a secluded spot on the Dordogne and slip into the water for just 10 minutes,dry, dress and continue on.
The Dordogne is one of the world centers of pre-history and records Europe’s earliest art treasures. At Les Ezyies, 10 minutes away, you will find the magnificent newly constructed National Museum of Pre-history, The cave paintings at Lascaux, and the remains of the Cro-Magnon Man.
Directly below Chateau Rochette is a wonderful vegetable farm that sets up at all the weekly village markets. Walk down the driveway and buy your dinner fresh from these lovely people.
