About Us

After several years searching the coastal regions of France for a holiday home we moved

our search area inland to the beautiful rolling hills and forests of the Haute Vienne.

The more we visited the region the more we liked the rural French countryside. Around

9 years ago we found a partly converted barn in a hamlet of about twelve properties close

to Bessines-sur-Gartempe (a village etape), quiet and relaxing yet close to the motorway

system for easy access.
