Exterior
Coux et Bigaroque, often shortened to Le Coux, lies in the extreme southern point of the Dordogne, in the Périgord Noir. It is the ideal starting point of several visits and excursions. Especially during the high season, you’ll be able to enjoy visits to the busier attractions. The beautiful, divers and hilly landscape of the Dordogne offers a wealth of castles, churches, music festivals, musea, market places and brocantes. But it is also possible to play golf or visit an amusement park.
Of course you are very welcome to stay on the property to take a dip in the pool, play some jeu de boules, and for the youngsters among you there is also a play castle on the premises. Of course hikes are always possible and highly recommended. You could also take a minute to visit our (drinkable) watersource, from the rocks. There is also an old shepherds’ sleeping place, which must be hundreds of years old but is still intact. They used to sleep in such shelters when they hiked through the area with their sheep. In the same spirit, there are several other spots on our property worth discovering.
