Cadouin is located halfway between Bergerac and Sarlat. Its cistercian abbey and cloisters feature on the World Heritage List as stages on the Saint Jacques of Compostella pilgrimage. The Villa Marguerite is situated in very close to the abbey where you will be greeted by Rodolphe,“our caretaker with the golden keys”.
The Villa Marguerite is an ideal place from which to discover the major points of interest in Perigord:
