An 18th-century Carthusian monastery and orangeryto the east of Bergerac in the Dordogne

Our opinion


A fine example of the chartreuses of the Périgord region, recognisable with their long, low silhouettes, this family estate is however, somewhat surprising. Behind the stone walls, some of which are rendered, and the wide, gently sloping roofs topped with flat tiles typical of the region, there is a bold, inventive world. The original features and materials have been carefully preserved and renovated, including the adobe floors, parquet flooring and wood panelling. But the owners’ creative spirit is also clear to see in the combination of contemporary furniture, bright colours and art that, alongside the more traditional architecture, express a lightness and cheerfulness. You'll be able to set your suitcases down here with a smile on your face, delighted by these aesthetic details, and savour the charms of the Périgord region.

Property owners’ take the floor


Why did you settle in this region, in this place and not elsewhere ?

I'm from Bergerac and an artist. After 30 years living in Bordeaux, I came back to the land of my childhood 10 years ago to take care of this estate with the same passion as my parents had. Nature is a source of inspiration and the open spaces here have enabled me to create studios for me and my partner, who is also an artist.

What specific architectural features does your building have ?

The Domaine de la Graulet is surrounded by ten hectares of countryside. It consists of an 18th-century Carthusian monastery and four Anglo-Norman-style houses built in the 19th century by Professor Samuel Pozzi, who owned the estate at the time.

What is its history ?

Samuel Pozzi, from Bergerac and a 19th-century surgeon and aesthete, inherited the estate from his mother. Though he lived in Paris, he was very attached to the place and set about turning it into a model farm. Pozzi created the first Chair of Gynaecology. A great art lover and collector of ancient coins, he rubbed shoulders with the great and the good in politics, literature and painting. Sarah Bernhardt was one of his lovers, among others, and he was a friend of the Proust family. His daughter Catherine was a poet and had a tempestuous affair with Paul Valery, who came to stay at La Graulet. The estate is steeped in the romanticism of a flourishing century. The grounds, with their remarkable layout, reflect the period's taste for exotic species.

What can you offer people staying with you ?

We are both artists, as well as writers and actors. Our motto is to live life poetically. We have revitalised the Carthusian monastery and are continuing to restore the other buildings. It is with this in mind that we offer guests a place steeped in history, with unique architecture, where nature abounds. The atmosphere here is gentle and friendly. The gardens are private to each house, but open in English style. The homes are designed to be lived in simply and comfortably, with large open spaces that provide privacy for everyone. Their decoration combines ancient with contemporary in the case of the chartreuse, and the charm of a family home in the case of the orangery. We live on site to be able to provide our guests with a discreet yet reliable welcome and service. We offer them the chance to immerse themselves in an area away from the hustle and bustle of the outside world, a haven of peace and greenery not far from the city and the historic monuments in the Périgord region.
