Vieux-Mareuil is a charming and authentic village in the heart of the Dordogne, where time seems to move at a gentler pace. Nestled among rolling hills, forests, and traditional stone farmhouses, it embodies the quiet elegance of rural southwestern France. The village is known for its historic château, peaceful lanes  and close connection to nature, offering an ideal base for exploring the region’s rich heritage. Surrounded by local markets, walking trails, and picturesque countryside, Vieux-Mareuil captures the essence of the Dordogne’s art de vivre – discreet, timeless, and deeply rooted in history.

The Dordogne is revered for its golden stone villages, historic châteaux, and a landscape shaped by winding rivers and lush valleys. Life here follows an elegant, unhurried rhythm. Local markets brim with seasonal produce, truffles, walnuts, and foie gras, while nearby vineyards and family-run estates celebrate a culinary heritage that has defined the region for centuries. Days invite leisurely exploration; canoeing along the Dordogne River, wandering medieval towns or dining in intimate auberges where tradition meets refinement.

Despite its peaceful seclusion, Vieux-Mareuil remains effortlessly accessible. Bordeaux’s international airport is within easy reach, while Angoulême’s private airport offers discreet arrivals for those who value privacy and convenience.
