« Les Maisons d’Antan » (i.e. the houses of days gone) date to the 18th century. They were built in traditional stones and slates of the region and a regional interior decorator totally renovated and refurbished them. She enhanced the feeling of intimacy and privacy that emanates from the place and gave a new touch to the different rooms though respecting the regional spirit that is present in a monumental fireplace for instance. At the same time, a regional renowned landscape gardener designed the gardens. The property is near Sarlat, a marvellous historic medieval town, and near the capital of prehistory, les Eyzies de Tayac, which is listed by Unesco World Heritage of Humanity. Here was born the science of prehistory, thanks to excavations that started in 1863 and last until today. The cave paintings of Lascaux, a unique presentation of prehistoric art, displays Cro Magnon's life as hunter and artist, as warrior and painter. If you only book the Bergerie, any case you will always be the alone lodgers at the property.
