Domaine des Faures is a secluded country estate situated in the Dordogne area of SW France near the famous bastide village of Monpazier. Once a prestigious bastide (or walled) farm it has been carefully renovated. The manor house provides either luxury B&B or self-catering accommodation (which has been awarded 4 stars ****) in a beautiful location not far from the Dordogne valley and the historic towns of Bergerac, Domme and Sarlat. The manor is situated 1.5km from the local facilities in Monpazier, with a footpath from the manor to this bastide village which is claimed to be on the Compostela Way. For those who enjoy walking, nearby Chateau Biron is a very pleasant stroll.
