The Experience

Swoop down country lanes lined with nodding sunflowers to this tranquil stone house hugged by rural peace. Once a manoir for the nobility, today it is a characterful and much-loved family home filled with cosy spaces, a grand fire-warmed living room, bedrooms with views and small yet spotless bathrooms.

Cleverly fusing new and old, traditional stone walls and beams add charm while the modern kitchen has all the kit and caboodle for cooking and eating together – or you’ll barbecue and dine outside in the undercover courtyard lit up with solar lights and twinkling candles. The set-up is fantastic for families with big relaxed gardens, a swimming pool, outdoor table tennis and football plus books and games for wet weather days.

Pop to your closest town, Ribérac (8km), for restaurants, shopping and an excellent Friday market. It’s perfect for a potter around with two churches and a municipal lido.

Reviews

Le Figuier is a charming property which oozes historical details whilst being sympathetically restored by the current owners to become a comfortable home for the 21st-century family. There is room to play together and relax apart whilst being immersed in the stunning French country landscape. There is easy access to beautiful towns which offer great shopping, historical buildings, canoeing, wild water swimming and delicious restaurants. Altogether it offers the perfect French country holiday.

Susan, West Sussex

We had a wonderful stay at Manoir Le Figuier at end of August 2025. The whole house and outdoor areas are bursting with charm and character combined with modern facilities. The house has been beautifully refurbished with modern kitchen and bathrooms and super comfortable beds. The pool is lovely and stays warm thanks to the solar panels and is perfectly located in relation to the house. The house is in small hamlet in very pretty countryside with gentle hills with fields of sunflowers, walnut groves and two privately owned chateaux within a mile or so. I wouldn’t hesitate to highly recommend!


Amie, Somerset

We had two fabulous weeks as a family of 6. The surrounding area was beautiful with plenty of towns to explore. The markets and brocante were incredible, fire works and fetes allowed us to feel immersed in French culture. The house was lovely and cool at night which allowed us to sleep well. The salt water pool was stunning, such a bouns, really warm and plenty of space to play. We took a badminton set, there was a great space to play games and set up the net. The house is well equipped with everything you need for a relaxing break. Highly recommended!


Dominika, Richmond

We had the utmost pleasure of staying at this charming French property in June of 2025. The house is fitted everything you might need - the bedrooms themselves are exquisitely decorated, bathrooms are lovely and modern and the kitchen is fitted with everything you might ever need. For me, the real highlight was the dreamy saltwater pool. The location is perfect if you wish to get away from it all and experience authentic French living. I would highly recommend.


Sophie, Essex

We have been lucky enough to stay at Manoir Le Figuier twice - once in July in scorching hot weather, and once over New Year. Le Figuier is equally as charming in the Winter as it is in Summer; roaring fires, and large dinners at the table in the Grand Salon are wonderful. Cooling off in the large pool and lovely long lunches at the outdoor table in Summer are fantastic and the house really does have everything you need! We hope to return in the future and know we will enjoy ourselves just as much again.

The neighbourhood

Local points of interest from Sally-Anne Holland

  • Ribérac has a wonderful Friday market, selling local produce, fresh flowers, plants, fish, pottery, clothes and much more. You can relax after your shop in one of several local cafes and watch the world go by. If river swimming is your thing, there are plenty of opportunities to swim.
  • Brantome, a beautiful medieval town surrounded by water, known as the “Venice of the Perigord”, is just 40 minutes’ drive. With its imposing Benedictine Abbey, founded by Charlemagne in the 8th Century, wonderful artisan shops and market selling local produce on Friday, it is well worth a visit.
  • Bordeilles 25 minutes away, is a charming village with panoramic views overlooking the river Dronne. Visitors can visit the Chateau which is two castles. The fortress built in the 13th and 14th centuries and the 16th century Chateau. There are several restaurants and a Sunday market.
  • Verteillac (25 minutes drive) is a picturesque village with lively bars, shops and a Saturday market. It is probably most famous for its Brocante market which takes place on the first Sunday of every month.
  • Aubeterre sur Dronne, the only village classified amongst the Most Beautiful Villages of France in Charente, is just 20 minutes away. The village is home to local artists and crafts people and has some lovely restaurants and interesting shops.
