shouldn't rent on of those mansions or castles in France for your next
vacation.
Well, you might be thinking of at least one reason right now! If you
do, don't worry! Most of the group vacation rentals have room for at
least 12 people. The cost per person is not more expensive than
hotel group accommodation would be. Sometimes it is cheaper!
Do you have a weakness for mansions, castles and four-poster beds?
Do you also have an urge to forget about recession for a bit and just
feel alive? Why not gather friends or family for a grand vacation in
one of the fabulous Dordogne rentals? As mentioned earlier, most of
the group vacation rentals have room for at least 12 people -
meaning they are well suited for two or three couples sharing with
children or a large family consisting of three generations.
You could have the vacation of your life in beautiful surroundings,
bonding with your family or friends in a very pleasant atmosphere.
You will be building memories that last and share new experiences
with the people who really matters in your life. (Click on the pictures

France).
Picture the pleasure of your own private swimming pool for lazy hot
afternoons. Grandma and granddad are taking a siesta in the shade
while you are having fun in the pool with the kids and your sister.
Your husband and Uncle Bob are barbequing. Or imagine velvet soft
evenings on the terrace with red wine and baguettes while you plan
the next day's superb adventures.
Stunning medieval castles are waiting to be explored in the small
villages in the Dordogne region and many of them are open to the
public to visit. A few smaller castles and mansions are offered as
Dordogne rentals.
With approximately 42 castles open to the public, you will have a
perfect opportunity to see a few castles, while you are visiting
Dordogne. I can especially recommend Chateau de Biron and Chateau
de Beynac.
You will find Chateau de Biron in the Gavaudun Valley, south of
Monpazier, where it is situated on top of a hill. The castle, which was
built in the 12th century, has been classified as a historic monument.
It was owned by the same family (Gontaut-Biron) through 24
generations until the family finally sold the castle to the French state
in 1978. Chateau de Biron was originally a medieval castle but you
will find other styles like Renaissance and Gothic due to the fact that
the castle has been renovated several times since it was build. I
At Chateau de Beynac you can see the dungeons and some medieval
frescoes among other things. The castle was built in the 12th century
but expansions have been added in both the 14th and the 17th
century.
From the village Beynac-et-Cazenac you have 15 minutes of walking
up through the village to the castle, which is really the right way to
reach the castle, but you can drive all the way up and park outside as
well.
Both castles are open all year-round and the admittance fees are
about 5 - 10 EUR.
If you wonder what the French villages are like in the Dordogne
region, think of the movies Chocolat and The Joan of Arc Story with,
respectively, Juliette Binoche and Dustin Hoffman. Both movies were
filmed in the charming Dordogne village of Beynac-et-Cazenac.
Stone buildings and narrow winding streets oozing history. Charming
cafés and boutiques that can easily make a few hours disappear in
the most pleasant way. A lush green landscape, broken by cliffs and a
winding river, contributes to make the area even more attractive.
Are you going to sleep in a four-poster bed on your next vacation?
