Bienvenue à La Tour de Cause

Near the heart of the Valley of Five Chateaux in the Dordogne Valley, fifteen minutes south of the medieval market town of Sarlat, our location gives you great access to castles, caves and canoes, bastide villages and market towns, and all the best the Périgord has to offer!

We welcome you to our splendid old stone barn and manor house, now a charming bed and breakfast facility in the heart of the Dordogne river region. Our passion for great food and wine, incredible scenery, history and the French way of living drew us here, and we'll love being your hosts and sharing with you our enthusiasm for this beautiful part of the Périgord.

Our five guest rooms each feature a large and wonderfully comfortable queen-size bed, Italian-made bed linens, and a luxurious private bathroom. Three downstairs rooms have spacious, walk-in showers and the two upstairs rooms have large tub/showers. On-site features include a swimming pool, large pétanque court and a wooded trail to our ancient stone pigeon tower, "La Tour de Cause."

A continental breakfast is served 8:30 to 10:00 a.m. daily, in our spacious kitchen or shaded courtyard. Doorstep car access allows easy delivery and pick-up of passengers, with private parking available at the back of the property. We respectfully request no indoor smoking, please.

The "Perigord Noir" area of France is magically beautiful, rich in history and natural beauty. Explore castles from the Middle Ages, wander through quaint little villages and towns, hike through rolling hills, swim, canoe and kayak in the Dordogne River and visit farms and markets. Our fine local restaurants feature the rich, local cuisine of the Perigord, with specialties of duck, foie gras, walnuts and goat cheese, but it's easy to take a night off and enjoy a light meal at a casual restaurant as well. Better yet, choose some fruits, cheese, bread and wine from a local market and take a meal in our courtyard, by the pool, or next to the beautiful Céou river which runs just 100 meters from our front door.

We'll do our very best to accommodate your individual needs, and we strive to make your visit a memorable one. Please email or call us with any questions. Our contact information is located on our contact page.

We look forward to your visit.

Your hosts,                                            

Caitlin and Albert Woodbury
