La Bigotie stands in an exceptional position in total harmony with nature, benefiting from both the peace and quiet of the country and the advantages of Monpazier, a walled 'bastide' built by the English from 1284 onwards. Monpazier has 'Grand site national' listing and is one of the most beautiful villages in France.
The magnificent hill position of La Bigotie, originally a thirteenth century watchtower, affords a full and unique view of Monpazier from the shade of an venerable oak.
