The Périgord region of Aquitaine, generally known simply as ‘The Dordogne’, is a historic region of France.
The region is an authentic view of the French countryside, with historic châteaux, Romanesque churches, and beautiful medieval villages perched atop cliffs overlooking the river below.
Deep in the French countryside, Périgord was one of the main battlegrounds of the Hundred Years' War between the French and English in the 14th and 15th centuries, full of medieval and Renaissance castles, and known today as the “Land of 1001 Castles”.
The château is located in the heart of the Périgord Vert. An area considered the lushest of the Périgord, with rolling naturally beautiful green hills and forested deep valleys. A short 90 minute drive from the famous Bordeaux wine region.
It is also known as a Gourmet Capital of France, with famed restaurants and wineries to visit – after all, this is the centre of truffle, foie gras, and Bergerac production.

Dedicated to preserving the culinary mastery of French cuisine and technique, the Périgord region boasts 8 Michelin Starred restaurants.
This is also an incredible wine region that produces some of the best Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Bordeaux Blend in the world. Known for it’s Bergerac wines, you will be tasting these next to their more famous cousin, Bordeaux, through your private Nomad Home experience.

OUR NOMAD HOME FAMILY

Charlotte
CO-FOUNDER of HANDS London
My favourite thing about Nomad Home is being able to connect with a large group of people from all over the world. I usually make friends slowly but when you spend so much time with a group of people, you become extremely close very quickly. That has been rare in my adult life and something I’ll always treasure. I’ve made friendships that will last a lifetime - we have already planned a few meetups since.
-
Laurie
FOUNDER of Outsourceful
Running my own business can get lonely and repetitive at times so it was refreshing to be able to travel, cowork, and bounce ideas with a group of founders. Although many of us were from different countries, it was surprising how much we had in common. I’ve been to multiple Nomad Home events now and the London events were a great way to meet people in my home city. There are 4 of us that met that have already set up monthly dinners; we really left as a family.

Andrea
PRODUCT MARKETING MANAGER and CONTENT CREATOR
I’ve remote worked for 5 years and found that it’s been difficult to find people that love luxury travel and have a flexible lifestyle. Nomad Home has given me a community to grow together personally and professionally with, when I honestly didn’t realize I could make these deep of connections of my adult life. What’s better is I got to do it while wine tasting and dinner partying.
-
Jesse
CO-FOUNDER of BLA Design Group and FOUNDER of Adessa Visuals
I work a lot, which means I don’t have much time to get away, socialize, or plan travel itineraries. Nomad Home has made it easy for me to just show up, enjoy unique activities and dinner parties that are off the beaten path, and connect with interesting people working on cool projects I would have never met otherwise. It was even better that I got to do all of it while getting my work done.
