Chateau d’Aix is situated on the edge of a small hamlet about 40 minutes west of Cahors, in South West France. It originates from the 13th Century, where its founder Bernard d’Ays lived in the castle surrounded by hundreds of acres of land. The lands produced the income from the vineyards, prunes and cattle, and still today the neighbour produces the lovely Cahors wine.  This picturesque, rustic castle, although not luxurious is an enjoyable place for large parties of people to holiday.

Chateau d’Aix consists of a large main house containing a separate apartment called the Douve.  It has a courtyard surrounded by several adjoining buildings, which used to be the old bakery, stables, barn and chapel.  The owner lives in another of these buildings, the Payasanne and who will deal with any problems and assist with any information if required.  The chateau is set in two acres of grounds with a swimming pool situated on a lower level of the garden.
