Culture has a tradition in Perigord, so to speak. Already more than 30,000 years ago, the modern peoples, the so-called Cro-Mag-
non-human, in the region of the Dordogne and Vézère rivers. Amazing cave paintings still bear witness to the immense creative power of our ancestors.

But culture also has another meaning in southwestern France: food culture.
Far from the starred restaurants of big cities like Paris and Lyon, the cuisine is a little more natural, one could also say: more earthy. The black truffles, the "black gold" of the region, are world famous. They are processed in every imaginable way, whether they are made into omelettes, slices of meat and liver or grated over potatoes.
in the courts: The truffle is the culinary soul of the region. If food is the soul, castles and manor houses are the heart of the Périgord.

More than 1,000 castles and manor houses can still be admired today - most of them in Private property.
One of them is called "Le Mas", located in the peaceful village of Saint-Barthélemy-de-Bussière in the middle of the green Périgord, in the north of the Dordogne department. Forests and hills dominate the landscape, interrupted by small lakes. On such a lake, the estate is situated on 148 hectares.

In this domain there is among other things an indoor swimming pool, stables, a covered riding school, barns, various outbuildings, garages, its own chapel and of course the main house, which is equipped with great attention to detail, with modern furnishings and extravagant colours, it forms an exciting blend of traditional and modern styles.

Built in the 19th century, "Le Mas" was the summer residence of the Lords of Limoges.

The rural idyll and the possibility of hunting had brought them to Saint-Barthélemy, about fifty km away. Today you can enjoy the nearby 9-hole golf course.
