Le Manoir De Monflanquin

About this property

Framed by centuries-old trees and golden fields, Manoir de Monflanquin offers a timeless retreat in the heart of south-west France. This handsome manor, set within its own glorious grounds, blends understated elegance with the ease and comfort of a well-loved home. Light dances through tall windows onto wooden floors and period furnishings, while the scent of summer lingers on the breeze drifting in from the gardens.

Inside, classic interiors unfold across spacious rooms, each thoughtfully restored to retain their character while offering modern convenience. Six beautifully appointed bedrooms and six bathrooms (four en suite) provide privacy and comfort for up to twelve guests (with the option to accommodate sixteen on request). The main living spaces flow effortlessly from a traditional dining room to a fully equipped modern kitchen, and onward to a relaxed sitting room and games lounge complete with a pool table, PlayStation and UK satellite TV.

Outside, a sun terrace surrounds the generous 14-metre pool, with views stretching over sunflower fields toward the hilltop silhouette of Monflanquin. Gather under the shaded pergola for long alfresco lunches prepared by the summer kitchen, then linger into the evening on the dining terrace as the sky softens to dusk.

A 20 to 30-minute stroll leads to the bastide village of Monflanquin, where stone arcades frame the medieval square and local life plays out in cafés, markets and bakeries. Other historic gems within a short drive include Monpazier, Villeréal and Issigeac.

For wider exploration, Bergerac and its vineyards lie just 50 minutes away, with river cruises, château visits and the famed caves of the Dordogne within easy reach. You will also fall in love with the Lot valley with Penne-d'Agenais and Villeneuve-sur-Lot just 20 minutes by car.

Whether gathering with family, escaping with friends or celebrating something special, Manoir de Monflanquin invites you to experience the historic charm of the French countryside at its most authentic.

Just 2km from the hilltop bastide village of Monflanquin, Le Manoir de Monflanquin offers a beautiful base from which to explore one of France’s most picturesque regions.

In the Lot-et-Garonne department, close to the Dordogne border, Monflanquin itself is a jewel of medieval planning, with cobbled lanes, turreted buildings and panoramic views across rolling farmland. You’ll find everything you need here from traditional boulangeries and rustic restaurants to a large supermarket and even a well-stocked English food shop. On Thursdays, the village comes alive with its vibrant morning market, brimming with local produce, handmade crafts and the unmistakable charm of French rural life. No wonder Monflanquin has been officially classified as one of France’s ‘Plus Beaux Villages’.

A short drive opens up a world of enchanting bastide towns. Wander the perfectly preserved streets of Monpazier (23km), often cited as the finest of them all, or soak up the lively market scenes in Villeréal (15km) and Issigeac (30km), both rich in character and history.

Heading south across the Lot valley, you’ll discover Villeneuve-sur-Lot (18km), Pujols (25km) and Penne-d'Agenais (20km), each offering its own blend of riverside beauty, pretty restaurants and hilltop viewpoints. The views over the valley from Pujols are particularly breathtaking.

Less than an hour north brings you to Bergerac (48km), once a thriving wine port and now a charming destination full of half-timbered houses, cobbled squares and riverside promenades. A miniature train offers a fun way to explore the old town, while boat trips on the Dordogne provide a tranquil perspective of this storied river. Wine lovers can follow the Route des Vins de Bergerac, sampling Périgord Pourpre’s famed reds and discovering small-scale producers along the way.

Further afield (but well worth the drive) are some of the most exquisite villages in all of France. La Roque-Gageac (62km), nestled under towering cliffs beside the river Dordogne, is a haven for canoeists and photographers alike. Domme (66km) and Limeuil (50km) also charm visitors with their elevated vistas and stone cottages.

From gastronomic delights to fairytale villages, Le Manoir de Monflanquin places you at the heart of one of France’s most captivating and culturally rich corners.
