Périgord Blanc, an estate based around a chateau and its outbuildings, comprising an exceptional garden in the art of topiary on 18 hectares enclosed by a fence, part of which is undergrowth, and 11 hectares devoted to magnificent flowerbeds open to the public: 80,000 boxwoods, 1,600 rosebushes, 1,300 hornbeams, 150 cypresses, a truffle field of 72 holm-oaks and some fifty different motifs from the drawings made by the owner.
These gardens are the culmination of a lifetime of dedication by the owner and have recently been opened to the public. There are many species to be found along a path of more than 2 km: box hedges, rose gardens and various patterns.

The dwelling is on 3 levels for a total of 450 sqm, the ground floor being dedicated to the reception activity (weddings, festivals, conferences, seminars, etc.), with a surface area of 175 sqm allocated for this purpose, the whole divided between a 40 sqm entrance hall, 3 lounges of approx. 40 to 50 sqm, a semi-professional equipped kitchen and a toilet area.
The first floor is spacious with a central corridor leading to the 7 bedrooms with their shower rooms on either side, which would need to be refurbished and brought up to standard. The roofs were redone in 2010.
