Renaissance
The Estate
An exceptional
family estate
In the heart of Périgord Noir, Château de la Malartrie overlooks La Roque-Gageac, one of the most beautiful villages in France. Nestled at the foot of high limestone cliffs in a bend of the Dordogne, facing due south, it enjoys an exceptional panorama and an almost Mediterranean climate. Its gardens of over 2 hectares — belvedere, rose garden, century-old trees — and a natural beach 200 metres away complete this extraordinary setting.
History of the estate
The La Malartrie estate traces its origins to the 12th century — originally a hospice for lepers, nestled between cliff and river. In the late 19th century, the Count de Saint-Aulaire, French Ambassador to England, commissioned the current château in the Renaissance style it still wears today.
A family estate ever since, entirely renovated to blend modern comfort with historic authenticity, it carries forward, more than a century on, a deep love for this land and this house.
