Location History
As far as we are aware, has never been used as a location neither for film nor photo shoot . By car, Lespinassat is 5mins from old bergerac, 5 mins from the airport, 10mins from the railway station and 90 mins from Bordeaux city/airport. The chateau is available as a five bedroom guest house with a further 10 bed gîte behind the chateau in the old farmhouses, and a 47 room 118 bed 3* hotel and a 50 cover restaurant situated 300m at the bottom of our driveway. The restaurant, hotel, gîtes and château are situated on the Domaine de Lespinassat, therefore the entire area can be cordoned off for security with relative ease.
