Just 8 km from Angoulême and its high-speed rail station, the Château de Balzac enjoys a privileged location in a protected and easily accessible environment.

A 13th and 16th century listed historical monument residence bordering the river and on 2.5 hectares of meadows in north-east Lot-et-Garonne . The discreet, almost mysterious residence is hidden behind a copse of trees, barely visible from the main road. The tarmac drive becomes a stony track as it winds its way between the rows of trees. After passing a pond and a bamboo hedge on the right, followed by the first evidence of the property in the form of two impressive stone pillars, the main driveway leads to two wrought-iron pillars supporting lanterns and to the dwelling. A few well-arranged flagstones guide visitors towards the entrance. The three-storey residence is set near to oak trees and a chestnut tree. To the east, the meadow bordering the garden provides some distance from a few neighbouring houses. On the south side, a meadow stretches as far as the banks of the river Lot below.
