Make yourself at home in Chateau d'Oche, located just 45 minutes from Limoges International Airport in the lush and stunning Perigord Vert, land of truffles and foie gras in South West France. Originally the home of barons (with our own coat of arms) the castle was built on an ancient base from the 1400s. The estate was transformed by a quirky 1800s French Artisan, Master Louis Bourdery, renowned for his religious art (he has streets named after him) and a penchant for all things English. He and his eclectic heirs, such as his ghostly white daughter Blanche, left their workshop, two chapels, and an indelible footprint on the property - transforming it from a hunting lodge to a towering gothic tribute which stands in superb condition to this day. The chateau was more recently a summer resort for French Ministers' families before being sold as a 13-hectare private estate.
