Visit Coux et Bigaroque

Coux et Bigaroque is 40km to the east of Bergerac.

Coux et Bigaroque is a beautiful little village. Its lower part sits right on the edge of a very leafy and tranquille section of the river Dordogne.

Take a look at the houses, some of them are really stunning. A particularly fine house is the Grange aux Dimeires with its colombage turret and eclesiastical-looking windows. This 12-13th century building was once the barn where river tolls were paid and the boatmen could rest.

Coux et Bigaroque once belonged to the bishops of Bordeaux who put the toll station on the river. The hundred years war put an end to this profitable acivity as well as to the castle which once overlooked the village and valley. The castle was rebuilt but destroyed again in 1624.
