Idyllic French château surrounded by rolling hills- Chateau de Lassalle
Nestled among the picturesque rolling hills and farmland of the Lot-et-Garonne in south-west France, Château de Lassalle is a beautifully restored country estate with origins dating back to the 15th century. Much of the château was rebuilt during the 18th century, resulting in the elegant Neoclassical architecture that defines the property today.
The château can accommodate up to 30 guests in fifteen of its unique en suite bedrooms, with generous living space for families and groups. Its U-shaped layout provides both spacious communal areas and quieter corners for relaxation. While the west wing houses seven of the larger bedrooms and the formal dining room and salon, the east wing features a 62m² grand salon and kitchen, ideal for gathering together for meals, and six additional bedrooms. On the first floor, guests will also find a fully air-conditioned games room with a billiards table, games, card tables and a smart TV.
Set within 8 hectares of private grounds, the estate is surrounded by mature trees, open lawns and native planting that blend naturally into the surrounding countryside. Guests can enjoy peaceful afternoons reading in the gardens, dining al fresco on the terrace, or making use of the heated swimming pool and summer kitchen. Petanque, ping pong and croquet are also available for those looking to enjoy the outdoors.
Despite its tranquil rural setting, the château is conveniently located close to two charming villages. Moirax, less than 6 km away, is home to the remarkable 11th-century Cluniac Priory, one of the region's most significant historic monuments. The village also offers a small selection of shops and restaurants, including the Michelin-starred Auberge Le Prieuré.
Just 5.5 km away, the village of Laplume offers local shops, regular farmers' markets and attractive walking and cycling routes, including a botanical trail with panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.
For a wider range of shopping, dining and cultural attractions, the historic city of Agen is only 15 km from the château. With a history spanning more than two millennia, Agen is easily explored on foot. Visitors can wander through its cobbled streets, admire half-timbered buildings, browse independent boutiques and visit landmarks such as the Musée des Beaux-Arts and Saint-Caprais Cathedral.
Exclusive Hire & Accommodation Options Château de Lassalle is always rented on an exclusive-use basis. Regardless of the accommodation option selected, the entire estate is reserved for a single group, and no other guests will occupy the property during your stay. Please note the owners live onsite in separate accommodation.
Although the château contains 18 bedrooms, our rental options include access up to 15 en suite bedrooms together with several shared living areas. To accommodate groups of different sizes, we offer three accommodation options:
8-bedroom option – Suitable for up to 16 guests. This includes eight bedrooms (seven in the west wing and one in the east wing), together with full access to communal areas, including the 62m² grand salon, kitchen, dining room, living room, formal dining room, games room, two additional guest WCs, the terrace, gardens, heated swimming pool, summer kitchen and woodland. 12-bedroom option – Suitable for groups of 17 to 24 guests. In addition to the facilities above, guests have access to four further en suite bedrooms located in the east wing. These four rooms are slightly smaller than the west wing bedrooms, but still spacious and decorated to a similar standard. 15-bedroom option – Suitable for groups of up to 30 guests. This includes everything in the 12-bedroom option, plus one additional spacious ensuite bedroom in the east wing and two further en suite bedrooms located in the courtyard, approximately 25 metres outside the main château. Whichever accommodation option you choose, you will enjoy exclusive access to the château and its grounds throughout your stay.
Lastly, please note, there is no intermediate tier between the 8 bedroom model or 12 bedroom model. The price calculation an assumption and based on the estimate of 2 people per room and a surcharge for additional room may apply. For example, if there are 18 people in your party, you will have access to 12 bedrooms but the price estimate is calculated based on 9 bedrooms. There will be an additional charge equivalent to 3 extra bedrooms to your final price.

The house exudes a sense of history in its style and furnishings with plenty of space for people to spread out. The kitchen is extremely well equipped and the outdoor terrace is a lovely place to dine as you watch magnificent sunsets. The pool was a particular attraction complete with a bar and kitchen area, ideal for keeping drinks and snacks. Croquet and table tennis were also popular with our group.
It would be a good idea to organise your shopping as local supermarkets were at a little distance and we didn’t discover the cafe selling bread and croissants in the local village until our last day.
Un endroit idéal pour passer des vacances en famille, autour de la piscine et dans tous les extérieurs du château… on peut changer de terrasse tous les soirs! Le château est particulièrement bien équipé : cuisine, buanderie, ….! Je vous le recommande chaleureusement!
