Château de Bagatelle

Born at the end of the eighteenth century, the Château de Bagatelle was first a hunting lodge, discreetly tucked away in the heart of nature. Its old stones still carry a sense of timeless elegance, preserved with care through each restoration.

In 1999, Laetitia Morlat took over the estate with the desire to honour her native Périgord and share its treasures. In 2025, with the help of skilled local craftsmen, she began an ambitious transformation of the former stables to create new guest rooms, a complete spa, treatment rooms, a gym, a cinema, coworking spaces, and a reception hall.

Behind its elegant and deliberately understated façade, Bagatelle reveals an interior ruled by light. The large windows let brightness pour in and frame views that shift with the seasons. The main rectangular structure leads to a small square pavilion crowned with a high roof, then opens into a beautiful orangery where the light seems to glide along the walls.

Inside, soft tones, natural materials, and contemporary pieces create a refined and modern atmosphere, a quiet blend of calm and elegance. Every room feels connected to the landscape, as if the château and its surroundings had agreed to share the same sense of clarity. The owners have a soft spot for the master bedroom, as serene as it is luminous, and for the wide windows that turn the view from each space into a living tableau.

The château now offers twelve bedrooms, nine with their own en-suite bathrooms. Two bedrooms share a bathroom, and the last includes a bunk bed that delights children and adults alike, especially those who still cherish memories of treehouse adventures.

The atmosphere is warm and filled with light, inviting guests to slow down the moment they arrive. Daily life here comes with simple pleasures that feel wonderfully indulgent. You can swim in the infinity pool, enjoy long afternoons of pétanque where friendly competition becomes a kind of art, or choose tennis and padel if you prefer to stay active. The spa brings an added layer of relaxation with its sauna, hammam, and massages that make time feel beautifully suspended.

When evening settles over the estate, dinners on the panoramic terrace take on a gentle magic as twilight blends with conversation. On request, the experience can be enhanced with wine tastings, cooking classes, open-air cinema screenings, or excursions to nearby vineyards, caves, caviar producers, and the surrounding villages.
