Chateau de Saint Dau – un lieu de confluence

Welcome to Chateau de Saint Dau. Our stunning castle is built on a beautiful and ancient site with a long and diverse history as a meeting place, ‘un lieu de confluence’ spanning more than 2000 years.

The Chateau de Saint Dau is an estate of 21 Hectares ( 50 acres )  with immediate proximity to the vibrant town of Figeac in the SW of France ( Midi Pyrenees region). Perhaps the best endorsement of the region is that it is the choice of discerning French families who move here from all over France

The estate includes the Chateau building with 2000 plus years of history going back to Roman occupation in 64 BC; a modest Roman arch in the  foundations of the Chateau attest to a humble beginning as part of a Roman oppidum or military camp. Springs in the hill above the Chateau and a commanding view of the Cele river valley explain the choice for this location.

Chateau de Saint Dau is a welcoming place to stay, a place to relax, a place to enjoy the wonderful cuisine the area has to offer. There are … self contained apartments within the chateau and two cottages on the estate offering modern, comfortable accommodation at a reasonable cost.
Guests are welcome to join in with our convivial Chateau dinners offering delicious local food and wines and excellent company.

What is envisaged is detailed in the following pages but in brief every possible facility is intended from pools , spa and infra red sauna to  communal space for musical and artistic events and commercial meeting space currently missing from the Figeac area.

The essence of this project proposal is making participation affordable for a group of investors strictly limited to 20; this group will be rewarded with a return on investment and access to  an enviable lifestyle on  an estate without parallel. We invite and welcome your involvement.

The process of development firstly involves raising the 30, 000 euros needed to complete studies of every kind required to add certainty , substance and precision to what is intended here. Studies will include archeological, engineering and architectural  as well as  accurate simulations and artistic impressions of what will be created .  Precise costings and quotations will add certainty and precision to what will be achieved to deliver a return on investment, all costings and revenue projections will be cross checked by expert accountants  and a full dossier of information will be available to  intending investors by Spring 2017 at latest.
