A FAMILY CASTLE (5/6) - Slowly but surely, Hubert and Christine are handing over the reins of this pearl of the Périgord noir to the younger members of their family.


Whether one has led the life of a lord for a thousand years or three generations, it involves passion and abnegation.

And a great sense of organization to both live in walls steeped in history and welcome the public.

This is their fight.

They met on this at Nature et Progrès almost half a century ago.
