Because the Dordogne region of France is on the top of our bucket list, Château de la Treyne is that romantic dream castle we've been dreaming about. Overlooking the Dordogne river in southwest France, in the Quercy /Périgord region, this medieval The Château offers history, standard to luxurious lodgings, a 1 star Michelin restaurant and a perfect home base for exploring this beautiful region in France. The Dordogne region is famed for its good food and wine. The bustling market towns of Sarlat and Cahors have their weekly markets, where you can purchase fois gras, fromage and meander the small, cobblestone streets. There are a range of sporting activities nearby from canoeing on several rivers, to fishing, horseriding, cycling and the famous prehistoric caves. This Relais & Chateaux property welcomes families with open arms and has a laundry list of best activities/sights for your children based on ages and interests. Standard rooms begin at 200 Euros a night.
