The project La Vallée

There are eight villas in La Vallée and two of them are for sale now. The villas are built in the traditional style of the Château and enjoy a splendid view over the wooded valley. Villa 5 is completely finished, so you can immediately enjoy living at Chateau Les Merles. Villa 6 can be delivered as just a shell, and can be completed according your wishes and available budget.

All villas are located next to the golf cours and at a short distance of the restaurant of Chateau les Merles.

In La Vallée, you also have a shared garden of 1500m2 with an 20 x 8 meter outdoor swimming pool. The shared garden and pool are exclusively accesible for the villas and are maintained by Chateau Les Merles

If you like cycling or walking, prepare yourself for some of the most beautiful routes in France. And if you like to be even more active, you can go mountain biking, swimming, jogging and canoeing.
At the Château, you also have your own 9-hole, par 35 golf course nestled in between the plum trees and the vineyards.

DORDOGNE

Les Merles means ‘the blackbirds’, which is certainly not a randomly chosen name. It refers to the fact that the Château is situated in the middle of the rolling hills of Dordogne, which are overflowing with flora and fauna. The surrounding countryside is green, wooded and hilly. The climate is very mild, with long summers and short temperate winters. Les Merles is a stone’s throw from Bergerac, while the vibrant city of Bordeaux is just one hour away. 

Culture

The region around Les Merles is a delight for the senses. The area is well known for its medieval villages and towns, cave paintings, annual folk festivals and, of course, the many antique markets where you can browse endlessly as you search for that must-have item. It’s a feast for the eyes and ears!

THE CULINARY ART

Dordogne is the birthplace of French cuisine and offers you limitless possibilities to enjoy its culinary delights. Nearby Thiviers is France’s foie gras capital, and the best truffles in the world come from Sorges, a short distance away. When the hunting season opens in the autumn, you can find delicious game dishes on the menu everywhere in the region. The restaurant at the Château is one of the best in the region!

BERGERAC WINE REGION

The region around Bergerac is called Perigord Pourpre after the skin of the grape. The region’s vineyards, originally built by the Romans, border those of Bordeaux and produce very interesting wines every year. The famous Chateau Monbazillac dessert wine comes from this region, as does an entire series of high-quality red wines such as those from Pécharmant.
