Take yourself back in time  ~ to a region of France much-loved by natives and visitors alike ~ with a leisurely stay at the amazing Le Prieuré au Château de Biron in the Périgourdine village of Biron.  Amazing, too, is the monumental Château de Biron only steps away from the priory.  This charming village will be your personal retreat from everyday life and stress, lasting in your memory for years as you recall your time in southwestern France.

A grand medieval structure, the priory has been lovingly and tastefully restored by its owners, Americans Dan and Patricia Pearson-Dullaghan, to provide guests with the utmost in luxurious accommodations.   Despite the spaciousness and elegance offered, the Priory maintains its     intimacy and romance.  Your hosts invite you to experience its traditions and beauty.    Comfortable bed chambers, suites and apartments are waiting to welcome you, each with en suite bathrooms, some with Jacuzzi baths.  The guest rooms have working fireplaces for warmth on chilly evenings, beamed ceilings, and panoramic views of the countryside and the medieval village, including the château, and each has its own sitting area. 

Your host and hostess will greet you with a lovely basket filled with a fine regional wine, fresh bread, cheese and paté, and will offer you a welcoming glass of champagne and aromatherapy delights for a relaxing bath.  Tea- and coffee-making provisions are also in each guest room, and both breakfast or candlelight dinners can be enjoyed there for a small courtesy charge.  The apartments at Le Prieuré have private entrances from the outside, and the lovely garden has a southwest aspect ~ sunsets are spectacular!
