Day 4: Bordeaux to Dordogne
Located in the golden triangle of the Périgord Noir, in the heart of hiking trails between Bergerac and Sarlat, this 1830 Napoléon III château is tastefully decorated. The early colours reflect those of the 8 acres park bordering on the Dordogne river. Dine at the gourmet restaurant: "Les Délices d'Hortense"." Day 5: Perigord to Lot to Cahors
For twelve centuries, the château at Mercuès was the summer residence of the bishops of Cahors. Today the guestrooms, opening onto a breathtaking vista of vineyards, valleys and French gardens, have lost none of their feudal grandeur. In this kingdom of «foie gras», truffles and wine, the cuisine is rich and generous. Meanwhile, Georges Vigouroux’s vintage Cahors age to perfection in the cathedral-like vaults of the cellar.
Day 6: Cahors to Carcassonne
The village of Saint-Cirq Lapopie is perched on a cliff 100 m (330 ft) above the river and is one of the major beauty spots of the Lot valley. In the Middle Ages, Saint-Cirq Lapopie was the main town of one of the four viscountcies that made up Quercy. It was divided between four feudal dynasties, the Lapopies, Gourdons, Cardaillacs and Castelnaus. The village was dominated by a fortress made up of a number of castles and towers. Below the fortress, the village streets lead down to fortified gates. Many historic houses have stone or half-timbered fronts going back to the 13th-16th centuries. The houses are norrow and have steep tiled roofs. The gabled houses fronting on the street are separated by a narrow space called an entremi, which carried away rainwater and waste from sinks and latrines.
Chateau de Garrevaques is occupied today by the fifteenth generation of the family who constructed it in 1460. It survived extensive damage during the French Revolution, but was rebuilt late in that century to stand today as a beautifully decorated, tastefully restored example of the architecture of the period and the region. Guest rooms are adorned with gilt framed mirrors, sparkling chandeliers, exquisite wall coverings and fabrics, rich parquet flooring and antique furnishings, while hand painted wallpaper dating from the early 19th century depicting classical scenes can be found in the main salon. Monsieur and Madame Combes have the comfort of their guests as their paramount concern, and to that end they offer superb meals of foie gras maison, confit, cassoulet or poule au pot, regional dishes served in a pleasant family atmosphere.
